Needing & Wanting Attention

I remember when Steven was first diagnosed ADHD and I chose a natural route instead of narcotics, the pediatrician told me our natural options might seem to be working because it was giving  him additional attention.  This mom thought if my son needed extra attention, shouldn't that be the course we choose ----  not controlled narcotics.  I do believe the additional parenting skills we aquired  along with the nutrition & removal of junky foods & toxic chemicals, all contributed to our success in raising him without the controlled substances.  I think this article from Lou has some great insight for both children & adults.  Let me know what you think?

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 7/29/10 - "Needing & Wanting Attention"


When your younger children crave attention, do they throw a tantrum, misbehave or act out inappropriately? If so, maybe you can show them a better way.

You know, children want many things that they don't usually ask for directly. In that way, they're no different from adults. Two things in particular that we all seem to need, but seldom come right out and ask for, are recognition and affection.

Now, kids who get plenty of each from the start usually grow up to be happy, well adjusted, confident, and well behaved. Kids who don't get much of either, though, will get very creative. They may try throwing tantrums, and if this succeeds in creating the attention they need, they may grow up believing that when you don't get what you want, becoming very angry will do the trick. You have probably seen examples of this while driving.

Many children misbehave to get attention - not consciously, as a rule, but they do it nevertheless, because even negative attention is better than no attention. If neither tantrums nor acting out works, they may eventually stop trying at all, becoming withdrawn, listless and apathetic.

The thing to do, then, if you want to eliminate these problems or avoid them in the first place, is to give your kids plenty of attention and affection when they are behaving well.

Let them know that it's OK to ask for what you want. It's OK to ask for a hug or to say, "Please pay attention to me for a few minutes." When they do ask, take time to give it to them. You'll be avoiding many future problems - not only for your kids, but also for you.

Another Report Linking Cancer to Household Chemical Use

Many thanks to Donna Jewett for passing along this information on a peer-reviewd study showing twice the rate of breast cancer among women who reported the highest use of cleaning products. A very good reason to share Shaklee's safe, effective, and non-toxic Get Clean products.  Check out the links in this report.

It is one of the reasons I am so passionate about what I do.  This is me on our local TV  show, BETTER CT.  http://www.wfsb.com/video/24325964/index.html  If you are on facebook , add Lets Be Toxin Free to your Likes.

Dear Friends,


I thought you might be interested in new results of our research published today in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health. We found higher breast cancer risk among women who reported the highest cleaning product use; however, we caution that these results may be influenced by differences among women in what they recall about past product use as well as their actual product use. The journal's press release is pasted below along with a link to the journal abstract and full article.

Because of our concern that some cleaning products contain mammary gland carcinogens or endocrine disruptors, we have long recommended alternatives that may reduce exposure to suspect chemicals: http://silentspring.org/take-action.

Here are a few of the news stories reporting our results around the world:

 NEWS RELEASE – HEALTH
 Embargoed until Tuesday 20th July, 00.01 (BST)

Are they Blackberries or Black Raspberries?

I have asked this question and I have been told they are Black Raspberries growing all over my yard. We had a lot of rain this spring and now are having some hot days - so it is a banner year for these berries. Every night I go out to brave the poison ivy and and reach through the thorns to pick these sweet, ripe berries. Now twice I gotten stung also!

I got over the bee sting and am sitting with a bowl of them to snack on. I have found a high anti-oxidant substitute for the bowl of popcorn. YUM!!

Invisible Glove

I have had a lot of posts this spring regarding our Shaklee Get Clean Kit. One of my favorite products is the Basic H2. So many uses - even I forget about using it in all the situations. The other day I was staining my deck. When I finished, I came inside to clean my hands ( I am a messy painter/stainer ). That was when I realized I forgot my invisible glove!!

Invisible Glove of Basic H2 – lightly coat your hands with Basic H2 and let dry before painting, staining, gardening etc & clean-up will be a breeze. Everything rinses right off because the paint, stain or dirt never got onto the hands to adhere.

If you have an interest in non-toxic, green, economical & effective cleaning products, you can get the kit at membership pricing through June 30th! Just order directly from the link.

No More Allergy Shots for Me!

With all the pollen in the air, I thought you might enjoy this testimonial.

To Your Health,
Lisa


No More Allergy Shots for Me!

I'm allergic to pollen, dust, grass, weeds, trees, feathers, fur, certain scents, dogs, cats, and certain foods (citrus, fish, cashews or anything processed in a plant with tree nuts).


I also have asthma. I suffered itchy rashes on my hands so bad I could hardly bend my fiingers.

For years I would break out all over my body every time the wind blew.
I was always getting nosebleeds. I was constantly sick with bronchitis,
and pretty much had no voice for 4-6 months of the year. I tried over-the-counter, and every prescription med, inhaler, or nose spray.

Zyrtec worked best but made me absolutely crazy and I had to quit taking it.

I was getting allergy shots for a while and they helped a lot, but the series were sporatic and a couple times I had analphylactic reactions to the shots.

That is really scary!

The last time MediCal stopped my shots was when Nutriferon first came out. I was freaking about the shots because if I didn't get them every week ... I'd end up with bronchitis and lose my voice, etc.

I was a non-committed Shaklee user, but decided to give the Nutriferon
a try. What a difference!

I doubled up on it the first few days, then took two a day regularly for a long time.

I did go without it for about a week at one point, and that is where
I really noticed the difference because the symptoms came back!

Other than that, I've been basically symptom free since I started taking the Nutriferon, and I've gotten friends who were distributers for other companies taking it for their allergies and asthma because they saw the differnce in me and how much better I was since I started taking the Nutriferon.

I have seven children, one with severe allergies who also takes Nutriferon.
My oldest daughter who is in college in Santa Cruz, takes it every day and
she was the only one in school that didn't get sick the whole year, except once, and that time she recovered real fast when she doubled up on the Nutriferon. The other kids take it when others around them are getting sick at school and work.

It feels good to be able to go outside on a beautiful day and not be afraid of breaking out in a rash. I even go outside when it is windy and still have my voice!

Recently I went on a five-mile hike when everything was blooming
and didn't even sneeze or get wheezy!

Nutriferon is amazing stuff ... I can't help but be excited about it!

God bless Dr. Kojima!

Duh.....I hope people start making better decisions about what they bring into their home. And let me climb on my soap box - Clorox is not concerned with removing chemicals when they released Green works - If they were they would have stopped manufacturing their harmful chemicals. It is a marketing ploy. I hear from people every day who are happy with their switch to Get Clean - Safe for you, your family & the environment.

I have helped many family's make the switch - I would be happy to help you also.

Safe, Economical, Effective & Environmental.

Why wouldn't you Get Started with Get Clean?
