A DENTIST'S LIFE

Image
Since I remember I always dreamt to become a dentist in the future. I was crying for an hour in the toy shop in order to get the play-doh with the dental practice and the patient's oral cavity. So I could practice building the tooth and drilling inside the plastic gums. This is how I was seeing the dentist job when I was a little girl. I was never afraid to sit on the dental chair and get my four milk teeth extracted all at once. Years were passing but not my passion to dentistry, the only thing that changed since that time is my way of imagining this job. Everything has a reason... At the age of 14 I’ve got my braces done – not very popular at that time in Poland. It was the transparent type – porcelain – so that it didn't cause any allergies and from the cosmetics point of view it looked just much better, which was very important for a teenage girl. At that time, I was saying to myself '' When I will become a dentist, I will be very rich if they cha...

The power of love

Love is blind and it shows. A friend of mine was telling me about falling in love. He and his new wife decided to honey moon in Paris. He had never been there but said ‘’leave it to me, I’ll make all the hotel arrangement’’. He knew some areas  of Paris from books, so a hotel Pigalle seemed just the thing. They arrived full of love an confetti, having flown of the last Comet air planes from the UK. They had to cart their luggage up three flights of stairs with the lamps going out every ten seconds. They arrived in it their room which had the bed and not much else. Was no shade to the central lamp.. It turned out that the husband had booked then into the nearest approximation of a knocking shop. They did not care. In fact the one of the strongest memories that they carried with them through they lives was the fun that they have shared and also tasted the best coffee and croissants.  Do we need to define love? If so which love should it be? What would love be withou...

DISCIPLINE vs STRESS- LESS CHILDHOOD part III

The ending part of the trilogy! You will find here all the answers for all the previous questions, and my subjective opinion, based only on what I read preparing this post and what I believe. Enjoy HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT THE EFFECTS WILL BE? There are as many options as there are opinions. As previously mentioned, styles of parenting can be divided into three groups, each with a different outcome and effect. While, doing the research for this project, I found an interesting article by Simon Sinek discussing Millennials – those born in the year 2000. Based on interviews which he conducted, it became apparent that there were significant changes in behaviour between children who were born at the millennium and children who were born a decade earlier.  It is worth comparing these differences in behaviour between children who were born at different times.. The Millenial children had ‘helicopter parents’ and were treated as fragile, kept in a protective bubble, leading as far ...

DISCIPLINE versus STRESS - LESS CHILDHOOD part II

BALANCED PARENTING    Dr Thomas Gordon says: ‘When parents once learn how to listen to children with empathy and understanding and resolve their conflicts peacefully, they stop using physical punishments’. Listening to children is so important. There is no doubt that children ask questions more often than we expect, and that they have their own opinions. It is important to pay attention to how, and in what way, they are expressing themselves. Parents who really listen to their children are better able to assess the emotional needs of their child. Excessive laughing or weeping, for example, may be the first indication that a child needs help. These kinds of behaviour should also be an important sign for parents and should lead to them asking more detailed questions to resolve any issue. It has been proved that trust is the most important value, in the relationship between parent and child. Guided by this precept, Dr Thomas Gordon also says that in order to achie...

DISCIPLINE versus STRESS-LESS CHILDHOOD  PARENTS ARGUE  OVER RAISING  CHILDREN ​ ​ Many pare nts believe that discipline when  raising children m ay not give the expected results, while others are of the opinion that a stress-less and over-protected  childhood may  lead  to  emotionally  disabled adults.  People often share their thoughts and ideas on how best to achieve happy childhood memories for their children. One person may think that more severe parenting needs to be taught ,  because children need to know  how to  behave in the proper way. Others may feel  that only by being  caring and friendly,  can  we  hand on the most important  values for life. In this piece of writing I will  discuss both  alternatives and  come up with conclusions based on research and specialis t  opinions. EMOTIONALLY  DISABLED  OR   AGRE S SIVE ​ W...
