Does Your Child Have High Esteem? | Healthmad

Does Your Child Have High Esteem? | Healthmad



We have fallen away from the way our forefathers raised their children. Lately we have been taught that our children must have high self esteem to be happy and successful in life. So we have puffed our children up with their own self importance. Sad to say, we have been mistaken. Researchers say people with high self esteem are not all we thought they would be. They are self serving and think highly of themselves but not of others. It’s time to back track and look to the values of our forefathers who taught humility first and foremost.

Children Should be Taught Not Shielded

Children Should be Taught Not Shielded



With student scores falling lower every year, school boards are now weeding out words that might upset some children. Schools were established to teach children about the world around them and give them enough knowledge to live a good successful life. Not to shield them and let them live in ignorance. Our educators today are off the beaten path. They cheat to give kids high scores when they fail, and now they take common words from tests that might be upsetting. Our children don’t need to be shielded, they need the knowledge to navigate the world they live in.

Apricots for Vitamin A Content

Apricots for Vitamin A Content


We need our vegetables for all the healthy vitamins they contain, but the good news is that Apricots are chock full of Vitamin A and potassium. Your picky eater will love this sweet fruit. Apricots can be used in so many ways. You can eat the fresh fruit from the hand, or simmer and blend into a nectar. It’s delicious in fruit salads or chopped and cooked in muffins, quick breads and dressing. Dried fruits go well as condiments with roasted meat. They are also delicious with almonds, which shouldn’t be surprising, both are members of the same family.

Weight Loss Reality Shows

Weight Loss Reality Shows



How good are these weight loss reality shows anyway? People have different opinions on the subject. Some people enjoy the shows and say they are inspired to lose weight. Others pay out money to weight loss clinics and work hard to lose weight, then go home and lead the life that got them obese in the first place. Maybe if we just ate a healthy diet and exercised every day we wouldn’t need to depend on reality shows and weight loss programs to be at a healthy weight.

Medical Tests Not Recommended

Medical Tests Not Recommended

 We have all hoped that President Obama’s Health care plan would be approved. It will cover more people at less cost. The government will make up the differences for those who earn very low wages and cannot afford to pay for insurance. But I don’t understand cutting out needed tests to diagnose illnesses. Maybe these tests are truly unnecessary and if that’s the case, they should be stopped. But if it’s only for Insurance companies and those in the medical profession to save money, it isn’t good. What do you think?
