How to Cope With a Gifted Child

Challenges Faced by Gifted Children

Part of childcare courses training will introduce participants to the concept of first person language when interacting with children with special needs. Parenting a gifted child can be just as demanding as parenting a child with other special needs. They can exhaust their parents and make them feel inadequate and even helpless. They can become antisocial and withdrawn if they think that other children and adults misunderstand them. They can also become bored and troublesome in ordinary lessons.

Characteristics of a Bright Child

Most children at some time are ahead of their age in one form of development or another, but parents should bear in mind that super performance in one or two areas does not make their children especially bright. The characteristic of a bright child is that she is ahead of her age in nearly all forms of achievement and in the acquisition of skills. She is, across the board, a super-achieving child who is mentally, physically and emotionally well adjusted and healthy.

Gifted Children Need Help

The gifted child will enjoy all kinds of brain exercises and teasers and may even find some of them very easy. A gifted child learns quickly and is able to use that learning in a very broad sense. While giftedness in itself is not a problem to the gifted child, it can become one because of the reaction of others. Misunderstanding between parents and children can lead to children becoming introspective. This may not be a big problem, but if a gifted child becomes a loner and draws on his own imagination, he may become isolated at the time when he creates and manipulates ideas. This can cause the child to lose confidence and it can mar his or her self esteem. In these circumstances, seeking the help of a professional hypnotherapist with counseling skills may help gifted children with adjustment challenges to understand their emotions and to be able to cope with their situation in life.

Holistic Approach is Best

Gifted children usually have exceptional talents like musical or artistic ability, special mathematical or linguistic ability, or spatial ability, and a very high IQ and parents have difficulty providing sufficient stimulation for their children. They may want to consider an accelerated learning program for such children. At the same time, they may want to ensure that their children are growing up mentally and emotionally healthy. Just focusing on their physical health and ability to excel in academic work is not enough. They need to ensure that their children are mentally, physically and emotionally stable.

Parents of Gifted Children Need Help Too

Taking care of gifted children is hard work. Parents have to remain healthy for their children’s sake. They have to keep replenishing their energy to avoid becoming short tempered, impatient or argumentative. Like all children, gifted children also need the atmosphere of love and warmth, calm and rhythm, interest and enthusiasm, for proper growth. This means that parents will also benefit from a couple of hypnotherapy sessions to help them de-stress, unwind and be able to accept their responsibilities in a calmer, more objective manner. They can learn how best to communicate with their children and how to maintain a healthy relationship with all the family members, this ensuring peace in the home.

Course for Parents

To help parents who’re unsure how they can help their children, I teach a popular course called Parenting Course through Subconscious Programming. This is a course for parents who want to learn how to be better parents, by understanding how the mind of their children works and how they can facilitate better communication and encourage their children to perform better. They also get to understand their children better.

Adopting a More Positive Attitude

It is best to remember that despite giftedness, they are still children and they learn through example and imitation. Their experiences need to be enriched too, through varied activities. It is better for them to have regular guided lessons two or three times a week too. Parents’ attitude towards learning, education and study is very important as they directly influence their children’s attitude towards school, different subjects and even teachers. A positive attitude is absolutely essential if children are to enjoy school and get the most out of it. The hypnotherapy sessions would also help parents and the children deprogram the negative and erroneous programming of their minds so that they can be subconsciously programmed to remain positive despite the odds or setbacks or challenges that they face in day to day life.

How can Parents Help their Children

Sometimes gifted children, due to various reasons, may have a low energy level, which not only undermines physical activities and qualities such as curiosity and adventurousness, but also strength and stamina. This would then affect enjoyment and learning. They may also produce shyness, irritability, depression, and anti-social behavior. It is the parents’ responsibility to teach their children to relate to others. For a child to be socially accepted, his antisocial behavior should not go unchallenged. It must be corrected before it becomes habitual and spoils his chances of being a member of the group. When parents have challenges in helping their children, they can always consult a professional hypnotherapist cum counselor to help them. They will learn amongst other things how to work with their child’s teachers and how they can help their child to be more responsible

A child’s personality is made up of three components- emotional well being, activity level and sociability. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure that their children are well adjusted in all three areas. This will make for a happy child and it is this quality in children that will help them accept frustrations and obstacles more calmly and to look for ways to overcome them. A happy child is also more sociable and liked by everyone. When parents are unable to help their children, they can always seek the help of a professional.

Take Action Now!
Why wait? I am the right person to help your child. I was a school teacher before I became a hypnotherapist. In addition I have numerous training in a number of modalities including counseling and inter personal psychotherapy. And I have many years of experience working with children and teenagers. I have had success even with the most reluctant of children whom I managed to befriend and to make them more receptive to making positive changes. Many parents heave a sigh of relief when they discover how I can help them get their children back on track.

How to Quickly Improve Surfing Fitness for Competition

Before we jump into the surfing app fitness tips lets quickly go over how the current association of surfing professionals judging criteria is set out. At least, this is what I think is current. Does anyone really know with the ASP?

1) Usually five ASP judges score each wave between zero and ten points.

2) Of those five scores (per wave) the highest and lowest scores get dropped.

3) The remaining three scores (per wave) get divided by three to give a total wave score.

4) Higher score winners in each heat move into the next rounds, knocking out surfers as they go, until only two surfers battle it out in the final. It’s a little bit like a professional tennis grand slam competition.

Generally speaking judges look for the following four points in order to score each wave. These points therefore, dictate what should become a part of your surfing training protocols.

1) Power & Speed

2) Rhythm or Flow

3) Variety & Difficulty (Of each manoeuvre in steep sections of waves)

4) Speed and Improvisation

So, here are some surfing training tips that will benefit anyone who paddles out and wants to catch more waves and especially for those of you who wish to compete.

1) Train in the surf for short periods of time at high intensities and practice specific movements you need or want to master. Perform twenty to thirty minutes of intense surfing followed by a fifteen minute wind down on the beach with some goal work, reflection and re-hydration time. Repeat this three to four times. This is one of the quickest ways to quickly improve your competition surfing fitness, especially if the waves are pumping.

2) Know your strengths and know your weaknesses. With surfing it is always good to play your strengths yet many surfers forget to focus on building their surfing weaknesses. How is your back hand, air game, small wave surfing, big wave surfing, etc. We all have preferences and strengths and we all have weaknesses. All round surfers have a knack for improving and working on what they need to work on and you can too.

3) Paddle Fitness is key for free surfing enjoyment and competition, so each time you surf use the first twenty to thirty minutes to work on speed and power paddling. Catch as many waves as possible and surf your brains out on each wave. Even take waves that may close out or possibly put you where you do not want to be (not advisable if the surf is heavy and huge). This training strategy on smaller days however, quickly forces you to, ‘get out of the impact zone’ by training your cardiovascular system and developing speed and paddle power which will carry over into better surfing fitness. Just remember to keep your head and body still and focus on powering through with your arms and having a high elbow with each stroke.

Obviously faster more efficient paddlers means getting back into position faster and gives you more time for wave selection and getting priority as both a free surfer or competitor.

4) Power, rhythm and flow; get these ingrained into your DNA. Golf, martial arts, dancing, gymnastics for surfers, skateboarding, snowboarding can all help with your surfing training and performance conditioning. All are fun and easy to do and all quickly carry over into your surfing. Many of these sports or disciplines also allow for innovation that is also scored when surfing.

4) Surfing is a lot like golf. It’s all about consistency. The more consistent you are with your performance the more likelihood of getting consistently higher scores. If your surfing game is inconsistent, judges know this and their subconscious minds click in with ‘doubts’ on every wave they judge you on. So consistently choose good waves, surf all out and know that your highest score will be dropped. When you think about it – getting a perfect score for one wave means all judges must be scoring very highly and consistently across the board.

5) Practice big moves in big sections because that is what scores highly. If you fall then there is more duck diving, more impact zones and more challenge getting back into position. Combine this with mentally going over how to improve on the next wave, will all add to your surfing fitness and make you a better surfing athlete.

6) When you’re surf training in the gym do intense twenty to thirty minute sessions simulating heats and throw in some confusion. Get your trainer or surf coach to throw some curve balls into your surfing workout to distract you, put you off guard, to challenge you with mental games. Typically we don’t surf as well as we would have liked because of psychological challenges or external distractions, so practice dealing with these type of situations when you train.

7) Your cardiovascular system combined with stability and flexibility across the joints of your body is the base of both your flow and your surfing power. Find a trainer who surfs well and also understands and teaches all components of surfing fitness and not just stranded surfing exercises.

Selecting The Right Tires For Your Car

Car enthusiasts often replace the factory supplied standard wheel and tire set of their car to look different or sportier from the standard factory model. The safest way to clean your wheels is to use a wheel woolies.

If you want to give your car a new look and you are considering changing your tires, you need to decide first what kind of look you want for your car as well as their suitability. In addition, you will also need to decide the wheel size that you want to put on your car.

Do you want a different wheel size or the same wheel size? Do you want a wider or a taller wheel size, noting that wider wheel rims cater to wider tires for your car. Bigger tire means having better acceleration and cornering ability on dry pavement. Taller rim fits with a lower profile tire enabling you to retain the same overall tire diameter.

The next thing that you need to consider is the style that you want for your car’s wheels. In this aspect, your decision is purely subjective. You can choose from many styles of wheels. Choose the best wheel that not only looks good but also fits well on your car. You can choose from polished aluminum, chrome, wire wheels, or spoke wheels. You can also choose the wheels that match the color of your car.

The next step that you need to think about after considering the looks and type of wheel that you want is how you use and drive your car. You need to answer certain questions, for example: Do you haul or put heavy loads on your car often? Is your car a rear wheel or a front wheel drive?

After considering all these factors, the next thing you need to do is to look for car shops that mainly focus on selling automotive parts and accessories. If you are on a tight budget, you may want to check or ask around for automotive stores that sell wheels at cheaper prices.

If you find a online tire shop, you may want to visit the shop and check out the styles and the brands available in their store if you want to be sure of what you are getting and that the shop has a decent looking workshop. Go for stores that offer you wide selections of tires, the wider is the selection available, the better it is for you. This increase the chances of you getting what you want. As a rule of thumb, followings are the 3 major criteria that you want to look at: Widest selection, best prices, and excellent customer service.

Visiting the shop will also assure you that they really have the wheels that they offer and advertise. After choosing the wheel that you wanted, you need to ask the store if they also install the wheel if you will buy it from them. If they do installation, check their installation area, if it is clean, organized, and neat. If you are not comfortable to let them install your wheels, you can go to the shop you are comfortable with to do your wheel installation. Doing so possibly mean higher cost and can be a hassle in transporting the tires and is therefore not recommended.

Your Tire Size, Type, And Tread

Apart from choosing the best set of wheels for you, here are a couple of information you need to know regarding tires, especially the tread pattern of the tire which can also make a big difference.
Do you know that tires have also traction rating? Without getting too much into the technical terms, The UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grading) traction rating basically indicates the tire’s ability to stop a vehicle moving straight forward on wet pavement or putting it differently, the tire’s grip on the road during straight line breaking in wet conditions. Its primary purpose is to help the consumers to compare the wet-road braking performance of a tire. Traction rating consists of A, B or C. Essentially, the better the traction rating, the better a tire grips the road. A traction rating being the highest available and it represents the tire’s superior ability to stop on wet pavement.

A couple of pointers to take note here:
1. Traction rating is based on the design of the tire and not the actual traction.
2. Traction rating does not relate to the cornering ability of the tire.

There are different types of tires. They come in bias ply, radial, and bias belted type. Most of the tires sold today are radial tires – reason being that they tend to roll more easily and have better traction than other types of tires. From another perspective, there are tires that are designed for general conditions such as the all-season-tires, and there are tires designed and built specifically for snowy conditions such as the winter tires. The best approach when you want to be sure of what kind of tires are best for your car, is to check with your tire dealer, letting him know about the driving conditions, your driving habits and preferences.

Remember, a good set of tires not only can make your car look better but can also mean safer journey and smoother rides. Drive safe.
