How can I find out who the anonymous person who made the report is and how can I get the attorney general to investigate when fraudulent claims are made in the courts? Why is being poor grounds for taking my children? Why is it the only way to get medical help for my child is to take her away and put her in foster care? Are there any groups out there that are lobbying for accountability and transparency? Why is no one held accountable for fraud and abusing children in foster care?

If you don’t have a job then get one and prove that you can support your child. Yes there are welfare programs out there. But you should not try to live of of them. What kind of example is that setting for your child? Prove to the system that you are a good mom. Don’t just sit on here whining about it and expecting others to fight your battles. Frankly I think that if you don’t have a job or are not going to school(4yrs maximum) you should not recieve any welfare benefits and be at risk to loose your children. After all if the govt is supporting them they should have a say in how they are raised. The only exception to this is parents who are disabled or who have disabled children.

I understand you can boost your child intellegence in his/her first year, is this true?

I don’t think every child grows up to be a genius, but there are ways of boosting their intelligence. And one way is to NOT sit them in front of the television with Baby Einstein. They need interaction. Play with them! Make every situation a learning experience(show them things and tell them the colors, count with them, start teaching them basic words, read to them, etc.). Children are definitely hands-on learners. The more you interact with them the more they learn and absorb.

It won’t be harsh to say that acne erupts on your skin like a bolt from the blue. You don’t wish to accept acne. You just tolerate it with great difficulty. What ails you most now, is that your child too has acne. This suffering for your child has caused more anguish in you. You, by experience or education, know how to handle your acne. But the child does not know much about this new development on the skin. The kid is just irritated. What you need is to prevent them from doing something rash and negligent.

Naturally, the child looks forward to you, for remedy from this suffering. If you are in a position to convince him with genuine explanation about the possible time acne will take to disappear, the child will naturally happy. You need to give your child the authentic information. For that you must have up to date knowledge on the subject.

At the early stage itself, try to provide the child with the best possible treatment. The very fact that you consult the doctor and provide proper medications helps to soothe the agitated and upset child. children love the assurance of the man with stethoscope dangling on his neck.

Don’t blame the child for its acne. It is no fault of his. It is no fault of his diet. Ensure the kid that acne is not due to the result of his negligence. Tell him to ignore the rumor mongering of other children and the myths they try to build around acne. The psychological effects of acne are more than the actual physical effects. Do not allow the child to get depressed.

Somehow, the child begins to develop a sort of inferiority complex on being attacked by acne. Your child wishes to avoid company and would prefer to sit in the last bench in the class. He prefers not to take part in extra curricular and cultural activities of the school. This is the time, when you need to prevent the child from becoming a loner. He needs to mix freely with his friends and teachers, as if nothing has happened to him.

Please be emphatic in convincing the child, that physical appearance alone is not everything. Pay special attention to his other achievements, and tell him how happy you are about his sterling qualities and achievements.

Never get impatient, if acne recovery in your child takes time. It is very important for you control your temper, given the stressful period through which your child is passing through.

Behave with the child normally, as if nothing has happened to him!

However, what happens if your child is autistic? The problem is now compounded because if your child’s developmental issues. How big of an issue this becomes is determined on the parent.

It doesn’t have to be a tedious task. There are ways to make the process easier and get your child moving in the right direction. Here is a list of suggestions and things to look for to help you and your autistic child while potty training.

1. Don’t start potty training too early. You have to ensure the child is ready to start. Make sure they know the difference between a wet and a clean diaper. If they don’t understand this important difference, it might be too early to start potty training. Try explaining what a wet diaper is and see if your child can recognize it.

2. Being able to dress themselves is an important aspect. If your autistic child doesn’t know how to take his or her clothes off, potty training is going to be difficult through their clothing. Their motor skills might not be ready yet to start the process. Wait to potty train a child until they can dress themselves, which means being able to pull their pants on and off. This is going to make the process much easier.

3. Potty training doesn’t need to feel like a job for you or your autistic child. Create a reward program. Every time the child goes to the potty offer them something they are going to enjoy. Perhaps a favorite treat or a toy. Anyone else involved in the process should be made aware of the reward system. At the same time, don’t punish your child for an accident. This isn’t going to help the process and will only confuse your child. It’s not good to send mixed signals.

4. Learning your child’s schedule will be helpful. If you are keeping your child on a certain schedule throughout the day, they normally get their diaper changed at the same time. When this happens, sit your child down on the potty and have them go to the bathroom about the same time everyday. Schedules and routines are important to many children with autism. Having a potty schedule could help them in the process.

5. Be patient. This sounds a lot easier than it is, but patience is very important. Your child, and this goes for any child, may not get the hang of it right away. Don’t show frustration and don’t get angry because this might cause the child to regress in potty training.

6. Be consistent. Don’t keep switching from the potty to diapers. This will confuse your child and make it difficult to potty train.

7. Don’t stress out the child by forcing them on to the potty. You want them to get familiar with it for a few days. Keep it in the open where they can see it. By seeing it more often, they will get comfortable with the idea of it.

To reiterate, the single most important factor is patience. All of the other tips go with mom or dad being patient. It might take a few weeks for an autistic child to learn something new. If that’s the case, just stay positive and work with the child as best as you can.

Many families like to take yearly photos. However, if you have an autistic child, getting them to pose for a picture is no easy task. The autistic child might not want to sit still or may even be bothered by the bright lights. However, there is hope in getting that picture finally taken. Here are a few tips.

- Before you pick a photographer, you may want to ask parents of autistic children where they have gotten their photos done. There could be a photographer in your area that handles autistic children and knows what to expect.

- Pick a time where your child is generally in a good mood. Many autistic children tend to run on a schedule and you can usually tell when they are going to be in a better mood.

- Some autistic children have a favorite cloth or a favorite object. Bring it with you to the photo studio. This can keep them calm and relaxed through the process and help get the photo done faster. It can even be included in the photo.

- Your child might respond better in the home. Have the photographer come to your house and take pictures. This will be easier on you as well because if your autistic child does have a bad reaction you are already home and can soothe them quicker.

- When going to a photographer, let them know you have an autistic child beforehand. This will help the photographer prepare any way that they need to and they may even have suggestions. If your child has problems with bright lights, let the photographer know so preparations can be made.

- Don’t force your child to take the picture. If your child won’t sit still, don’t stress him or her out to get the picture taken. Candid shots work just as well and can be endearing.

- Let your autistic child get used to the camera. Let them look at it (but don’t touch) and get comfortable with it. This could help them relax and get ready for the picture easier.

- Your child might not want to sit during the photo shoot, and that’s is perfectly fine. Let them stand or even lay down. The photographer should be able to work around your family’s needs when it comes to taking the photo. Let your child do what is going to make them most comfortable. If the photographer you choose doesn’t accept this, just find one who will.

- A photo doesn’t have to be professionally done. Your autistic child might respond better if you are the one taking the pictures. You can also take pictures doing every day activities, during family get-togethers or holidays. Many family’s photo albums are full of special moments. Yours doesn’t have to be any different just because your child is autistic. Take photos of them whenever you get a chance.

Taking photos of your autistic child doesn’t have to be a stressful experience. Like anything else your autistic child has ever done, make them comfortable and don’t force them to do anything. Make it a fun time and enjoy the situation. The pictures will get taken and look great.
