Solution to teenage smoking problem

Solution to teenage smoking problem

 

 

At last there comes up some solution for preventing a kid from having a life long addiction of smoking. Some serious research has been done by the scientists at the University of Utah; regarding the characteristic of being a life long smoker. The researchers have taken DNA samples of about 2,827 smokers. They made a vivid study over the changes in the genetic code called single nucleotide polymorphisms. This is something that is very much a part of nicotine addiction and that leads to a life long smoking practice. This research justifies the point that kids who have picked up smoking before 17 years of age are more into this addiction than those who have had it after 17.

 

This is indeed a good news, as now all the guardian can prevent their teenagers in getting into the whirlpool till 17. Once they are successful, there will be a hope of giving it up easily, if one gets addicted to smoking at a later stage in life. Researches of these types really deserve good appreciation.

Help Them Organize Their Writing

Many supervisors and managers ask me for help when their employees can't organize information. Of course, organization depends on the document. But here are five solutions I offer supervisors and managers to help employees organize their messages.

 

1. Insist that every document get to the point within 50 words. Tell employees you won't read a document that doesn't get to the point right away.
2. Insist that employees use headings in reports, recommendations, and other messages to make information skimmable. Headings will force them to categorize information.
3. Allow just one main idea per paragraph. In disorganized messages, a mishmash of ideas packs each paragraph.
4. Allow just one idea per sentence. With just one idea in it, almost any sentence can get organized.
5. Limit the words per sentence--no more than 15 to 20 words on average. It's hard for short sentences to get out of hand.

 

Tips for Spoken English...........

1. Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day Reading loudly helps in developing confidence. 2. Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down If you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, people will have a hard time understanding you. Don't worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech - it is more important that everything you say be understood. When you read loudly, take a 3 second pause after every word that you read. 3. Think in English – 30 minutes daily People who speak fluent English have a habit of thinking and speaking in English at the same time. Think “simple & short” sentences in English whenever you have free time. 4. Pronounce the ending of each word Pay special attention to 'S' and 'ED' endings. This will help strengthen the mouth muscles when you speak English. 5. Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes Many people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making. 6. Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them When you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech. 7. Be patient You can change the way you speak but it won't happen overnight. People often expect instant results and give up too soon. You can change the way you sound if you are willing to put some effort into it.

 

kids jokes

One night, a father passed by his son's room and heard his son praying: "God bless Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma. Ta ta, Grandpa."

The father didn't quite know what this meant, but was glad his son was praying. The next morning, they found Grandpa dead on the floor of a heart attack. The father reassured himself that it was just a coincidence, but was still a bit spooked.

The next night, he heard his son praying again: "God bless Mommy and Daddy. Ta ta, Grandma."

The father was worried, but decided to wait until morning. Sure enough, the next morning Grandma was on the floor, dead of a heart attack.

Really scared now, the father decided to wait outside his son's door the next night. And sure enough, the boy started to pray: "God bless Mommy. Ta ta, Daddy."

Now the father was crapping his pants. He stayed up all night, and went to the doctor's early the next day to make sure his health was fine. When he finally came home, his wife was waiting on the porch. She said, "Thank God you're here -- we could really use your help! We found milkman dead on our porch this morning!"

===============================================================

A boy was assigned a paper on childbirth. He asked his parents, "How was I born?"
"Well honey ..." said the slightly prudish parent, "the stork brought you to us."
"OH," said the boy. "Well, how did you and daddy get born?" he asked.
"Oh, the stork brought us too."
"Well how were grandpa and grandma born?" he persisted.
"Well darling, the stork brought them too!" said the parent.
Several days later, the boy handed in his paper to the teacher who read with confusion the opening sentence:
"This report has been very difficult to write due to the fact that there hasn't been a natural childbirth in my family for three generations."

===============================================================

A little kid asks his father, "Daddy, is God a man or a woman?"
"Both son. God is both."

After awhile the kid comes again and asks, "Daddy, is God black or white?"

"Both son, both."

"Daddy, does God love children?"

"Yes son, he loves all children."



The child returns a few minutes later and says, "Daddy, is Michael Jackson God?"

Caution, college ahead

My just-out-of-school child joins college soon. I'm very nervous about the parent interviews. How do I prepare for them? Also, some of the teachers in a school are my friends. However, my other child is their ward, conversation inside and outside school gets a little awkward. How do I demonstrate to my child the difference between her "aunty" outside school and the "miss/ teacher" in school?
— Vikram Udyavar

Parenting is a full-time job without any manuals! And yet we have nurtured a great foundation of the next generation, though they need to be harnessed from time to time. And their intelligence is enhanced and cultivated at the various colleges and institutes that you will be called on to visit in these few weeks for your child's admissions.

Interviews of any kind do make all of us nervous but we've got to keep our wits and confidence about ourselves, especially when called to accompany our children to such meetings.

•  It is essential to answer all questions with truth and sincerity. Don't attempt to appear what you are not, particularly in terms of social status and standing.

•  This will also indicate to your child that no matter what, you are proud of who you are. The child will adopt these qualities and will lean upon when faced with peer pressure.

•  You will be asked questions about the nature and quality of relationship with your child. While you must be honest, do know that what and how you frame your responses will set the tone of how the child will be treated by the school or college staff and peers. It is necessary to keep the child's respect, but at the same time, diplomatically indicate the general shortcomings s/he may have. So, instead of saying your child is lazy, say s/he needs to be motivated.

•  Impress upon the school/college the awareness and remedial actions that you intend to implement to improve these shortcomings. This will prove that you are involved in your child's education and it also instils confidence within the child.

•  If you are posed questions regarding the environment at home and/or the relationship with your spouse, it is advisable to keep the responses diplomatic.

•  If you are a single parent, you may say so without giving details of your marital status.

•  If you have friends who are part of the faculty, it may be difficult for tender children to disconnect the relationship between them and an "aunty or uncle" and a teacher.

•  Tell them people play different roles. So at school, the "aunty/uncle" is a teacher and the child is a student. The teacher must be addressed as 'ma'am' or 'sir' and the child will be treated like any other student.

•  And when at home, the "aunty/uncle" is a friend and the child can expect the warm, familiar relationship s/he has enjoyed so far.

•  Children like to boast about their proximity to their teachers / professors to the other students and this tendency needs to be curbed.

•  You could pointedly indicate that the inability to keep the relationships in their respective slots may lead to them being alienated from other students and being perceived as "teacher's pets".

•  Do not go out of your way to describe the nature of your relationship to all and sundry. When bumping into a friend at school, restrict the conversation to school work. It is also advisable to not flaunt your close relationship with a teacher to other parents or faculty members.

•  Likewise, avoid asking questions about your child's progress and problems at school when meeting a teacher at a house party. Keep these questions for PTA meetings.

•  If your child has been pulled up in class for untoward behaviour, step in only when asked. Do not take the punishment personally, or be vindictive and sever the relationship with the teacher. Understand that the deed may have been done for the betterment of the child. Leave the remedial action to the teacher.

 

KEEP YOUR ROOM CLEAN

Children's failure to keep their rooms clean is the basis for many a family argument.  However, it's not that difficult to keep your room clean.  Divide room cleaning into several tasks, concentrating on one until you do it well.  Then focus on a second task, and continue until the whole job is accomplished.

 

Be specific: Make checklist, post the list in your room and recheck off each task as it is performed.  Even if a bed is not made exactly to your standards, if it looks better than it did the day before, feel happy that you have seen improvement.  Recognize your achievement.

 

Be consistent: Some of us have a very bad habit that we keep our clean only for a few days.  Then again we start ignoring the regular dusting, our study table is mess again and our so is our cabinet.  We often blame our routine for this.  However there is no reason why we cannot spare 10 minutes to daily dusting and making sure that things are organized in our room.

 

Set specific Times: Another area in which the cleanliness of a room becomes a point of discussion is time.  Give yourself some time to do the job.  Make sure that you do the job of cleaning the room with in the specified time.

 

It's my Turf: Sometimes, when our parents comment on our untidy room, we are ready with the answer, it's my room and I am fine with it, many of us would choose to be neat, but if parents say we must clean our rooms, we become stubbornly rebellious.  The fact is the way you keep your room is your choice, so why not choose to life in a neat and tidy room.

 

The key is to keep cleaning and organizing daily.  If you spend just a few minutes a day, your room will stay clean.  Also, the problem is probably related to a lack of organization, so may be if you find a system for organizing your stuff that works for you (other than just throwing it on the floor) you will be more apt to maintain the system.  I am sure if you ask your mom, she would be happy to help you get the materials you need to keep your room clean and organized.
