 How to Survive Temper Tantrums | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Learn how to survive the dreaded temper tantrum.It’s your worst nightmare. Your child throws a tantrum in a public place. You’re stressed out and are ready to have a tantrum of your own.How can you deal?The most difficult -- yet most important -- thing to do is to ignore your child during the temper tantrum. See if the tantrum dies down.If that doesn’t work, divert your child’s attention. Remove him from the environment. This may be tough because you’re pressed for time and are in a public place for a purpose. Leaving that environment shows him that you mean business.You may have to physically move your child. There could be thrashing and resistance. Try hugging him to calm him down. Talking to him might not work until he is calm.Don’t make false promises or threats. Uphold your rewards and consequences so your child knows your promises have integrity.Maintain your composure. Enlist the help of your spouse or partner. Make sure you’re both on the same page with rewards and consequences.The good news is that kids tend to outgrow the tantrum phase. If the tantrums are greatly stressful for you as a parent, speak with a professional.Listen as Dr. Naveen Mehrotra joins Melanie Cole, MS, to advise on dealing with temper tantrums in this encore episode from March 2017.

 EP 1139B - Conquering Glaucoma and How to Treat it | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

What is Glaucoma? How can it be treated?WHAT IS GLAUCOMA and how can you treat it?Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in African Americans and people from the Caribbean, and the simple way to prevent the devastating effects of glaucoma is to maintain regular eye visits.“Eyesight or human vision is one of the most important senses,” Dr. Laroche said. “By protecting the eyes, people will reduce the chance of blindness and vision loss while also staying on top of any developing eye diseases, such as glaucoma and cataracts.”Dr. Laroche is a glaucoma specialist who takes patient education seriously. He wants people to be aware that glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and retinopathy can begin to surface between the ages of 40 and 70, and that any vision changes should be evaluated by your eye doctor immediately.“Over time, these diseases can lead to blindness, so it’s best to address them as soon as possible,” said Dr. Laroche. “We have new treatments with earlier surgical options that can help preserve (or restore) their vision with faster recovery times.”What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a disease of the eye characterized by three components:1) Damage and loss of the retinal ganglions cells and optic nerve described as cupping2) Loss of visual field3) Usually increased eye pressure (pressure may be normal at times)Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the world today. There are over three million people with glaucoma in the United States today and over 1 million do not even know it. There are over 80,000 people that go blind from glaucoma every year. It is the leading cause of preventable blindness in African-Americans and people from the Caribbean.People at risk for glaucoma include the elderly, blacks, and people with elevated eye pressure primary relatives with glaucoma, persons with high myopia, high hyperopia, history of eye trauma, and diabetes. Blindness from glaucoma is insidious. In most cases, there is no pain, and the loss of vision occurs slowly from peripheral to central. The central reading vision is not affected until the end thus most people do not realize it until they have lost a substantial amount of their peripheral vision. In low or normal pressure glaucoma the central vision may be affected first.In many cases, glaucoma optic nerve damage occurs from high eye pressure. Nerve damage can usually be stopped or slowed by lowering the eye pressure. Most glaucoma treatment, with medicines, laser, or conventional surgery, is designed only to lower the eye pressure. Some eyes with glaucoma optic nerve damage continue to deteriorate despite having the lowest possible eye pressures. It is not known why this happens. Intensive research around the world is now directed at understanding the cause of the damage in these patients and to develop new treatments to preserve the optic nerve.Many different eye disorders cause high eye pressure. After measuring the eye pressure, your ophthalmologist attempts to determine the cause of the elevation. Nearly always, some form of “clogging” or blockage of the drainage of internal fluid within the eye (aqueous humor) causes increased eye pressure. Since the eye continually produces this fluid, obstruction of the drainage causes the eye pressure to increase. Almost any eye disorder associated with aging, inflammation, bleeding, injury, tumor or even birth defects can raise the eye pressure. However, in most cases of glaucoma, the eye has no specific abnormality and is said to have primary open-angle glaucoma. In other cases, the eye may be unusually small or exhibit other minor shape abnormalities that cause closed-angle glaucoma. In closed-angle glaucoma, the drainage system is totally blocked instead of just being clogged. At least fifty different mechanisms have been described that can raise the eye pressure, but all produce similar damage of the optic nerve. All methods of treatment are designed to lower the eye pressure to a level that will prevent further optic nerve damage.

 EP 1138B - The Emotional Lives of Teenagers | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

In Dr. Lisa Damour’s important new book, THE EMOTIONAL LIVES OF TEENAGERS: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents, parents will gain the confidence they need to guide their adolescents through this challenging developmental phase.As many parents, caregivers, and teachers raising and working with teenagers find, powerful emotions come with the territory. And with so many of today’s teens contending with academic pressure, social media stress, worries about the future, and concerns about their own mental health, it’s easy for them—and their parents—to feel anxious and overwhelmed. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In Dr. Lisa Damour’s important new book, THE EMOTIONAL LIVES OF TEENAGERS: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents (Ballantine, on sale February 21, 2023), parents will gain the confidence they need to guide their adolescents through this challenging developmental phase.Dr. Damour’s long-standing interest in the emotional lives of teenagers took on a new urgency and relevance after the emergence of COVID-19. The pandemic created an adolescent mental health crisis—one so severe the U.S. Surgeon General issued a rare advisory on protecting youth mental health. While distressing for people of all ages, COVID-19 presented unique challenges for teenagers. The forced social isolation derailed the central developmental markers of adolescence: spending time with peers and becoming increasingly independent. Add on to that the fact that many parents felt—and still feel—ill-equipped to help their teenagers manage overwhelming emotions. But there is a silver lining! The pandemic has made us realize that we must change how we talk about what adolescent mental health is—and is not—and what parents can do to raise emotionally resilient teenagers.In THE EMOTIONAL LIVES OF TEENAGERS parents will learn:·       What to expect in the normal course of adolescent emotional development andwhen it’s time to worry·       Why teens (and adults) need to understand that mental health isn’t about “feeling good”but about having feelings that fit the moment, even if those feelings are unwanted or painful·       Strategies for supporting teens who feel at the mercy of their emotions so they can become psychologically aware and skilled at managing their feelings·       How to approach common challenges that come with adolescence, such as friction at home, spiking anxiety, risky behavior, navigating friendships and romances, the pull of social media,and many more·       The best ways to stay connected to their teens and how to provide the kind of relationship that adolescents need and wantTHE EMOTIONAL LIVES OF TEENAGERS is a game-changing book that will transform the current conversation about adolescents. With clear, research-informed explanations alongside illuminating, real-life examples, Damour’s timely new book gives parents the concrete, practical information they need to steady their teens through the bumpy yet transformational journey into adulthood. I look forward to discussing your interest.
