PARENTING CHILDREN

http://www.watchmojo.com/video/title/Parenting%20Tips%20from%20Psychotherapist%20Alyson%20Schafer/

While many people think parenting is an intuitive thing, this may not always be the case. There are a variety of parenting styles that have changed and evolved over time. Autocratic parenting can be described as the “do it because I say so” style. The generation that was raised like this then turned around and let their kids get away with murder. There is a third alternative, according to psychotherapist Alyson Schafer, that maintains respect for both the parents and the children. In this video, WatchMojo.com speaks with Schafer about democratic parenting, and her book, Honey I Wrecked the Kids. For more information, click Here.

Fred: I can tell you guys about a very scary spider that once entered my house.
Todd: Oh, really.
Fred: Yeah, so my roommate and I are sitting next to the kitchen and then we just look around the kitchen and then we look up to the wall and we see this really big spider on the wall, and it's got these hairy legs and it's as big as my hand.
Todd: Right.
Fred: So once that we saw that on the wall, we just started to freak out, so what we decided to do was tospray it just to see if it would die or just come down because it, I know it's sad but it's a very dangerous spider and we didn't want to live with that, and so once we sprayed it, and then it went on the floor, we thought that it was dead because it kind of all crooked up together like this to become some kind of ball, and then so we decided to leave the room and then when we came back into the room the spider wasn't there anymore.
Todd: Ooh. It came back to life.
Fred: It came back to life. So beware of the spider.
Todd: But did you ever see the spider again?
Fred: No, we didn't. We couldn't find it anymore.
Katia: I think the spider was smart enough to leave that house and not visit you again.
Fred: Well, I'm happy that it did that.
Todd: Yeah, that's like the other night, I walked into my kitchen and I turned on the light and as soon as I turned on the light this huge spider came running right at me, and then the spider got right up to where I was and then it stopped and then it went away, and so I went to go look for it and I pulled like the garbage bag away and then it ran at me again, and then turned around and ran away, so I went and looked it up on Wikipedia and then it said, actually the spider was just running to my shadow to hide and then when it realized I was a bad place, that's why it ran away.
Fred: Really! That is so interesting.
Katia: The thing is that these spiders are smart. They know. They sense fear and they're smart. I think, they know what to do. We don't know about the spiders, so we don't know which ones are dangerous, which ones are OK, so we just assume all are bad.
Todd: Yeah, you know, I used to be afraid of spiders and I actually kind of like them now.
Katia: I think they're cool.
Todd: You think they're cool.
Katia: I think they're cool.

AUPAIR
Au Pair USA’s screening and matching process is designed to help you select the best au pair for your family. You’ll start by reviewing the au pair’s application packet. If the au pair’s application appeals to you, you’ll have the opportunity to interview her or him. This is probably the most crucial point of your decision process—you’ll not only be able to learn about the au pair’s experience and English skills, but you’ll also get a sense of her or his personality.
Because the interview is so important, you should prepare your questions in advance. Feel free to keep a conversational tone, but make sure you cover all your important questions and issues during the interview. You may find the following list helpful as you prepare for your interviews:

  • Why do you want to become an au pair?
  • Have you ever lived away from your family before?
  • How do you feel about leaving your family for a year?

  • What type of relationship do you have with your family? How do they feel about you coming to America for a year?
  • Would you be happy in the host family's community if it was isolated, a city, suburban, or rural? What type of area do you currently live in?
  • What type of household chores are expected of you in your home?
  • Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? How do they feel about you leaving for a year? Are they going to visit?
  • What type of hobbies do you have?
