<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Resilience is the ability to lead a healthy life, both<br />physically and mentally, despite living through horrific circumstances, says<br />Petros Levounis, M.D., M.A., chair of the Department of Psychiatry at<br />Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. While there’s a genetic component, he<br />said the thinking is changing around the idea that only some people are born<br />with the ability to stay mentally strong in the face of war, natural disaster,<br />rape, terrorism, chronic poverty and other traumas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Humans are far more resilient in general<br />than we think, than we have assumed in the past,” Levounis said. “People who<br />have been subjected to absolutely traumatic situations very frequently come out<br />on other side and do quite well.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__d5u0eKGhUqp6vWM0JmSuq5Ntt5_Z5ttCA_Q7aeYKJIfSerm81JxIvOTmLrH6XyyAU7PvuoICVw33w3LWgIMdNTRW4tf9qWK0wRxTC34uI49xnZdVGDeV4rOnNfGnDVXbACRqc_aqZ1Y/s1600/shutterstock_271100492.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__d5u0eKGhUqp6vWM0JmSuq5Ntt5_Z5ttCA_Q7aeYKJIfSerm81JxIvOTmLrH6XyyAU7PvuoICVw33w3LWgIMdNTRW4tf9qWK0wRxTC34uI49xnZdVGDeV4rOnNfGnDVXbACRqc_aqZ1Y/s320/shutterstock_271100492.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are some who may suffer more<br />after a traumatic event -- people with depression or anxiety disorders are at a<br />higher risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But PTSD is not<br />the opposite of resilience, Levounis explained. “PTSD doesn’t mean you are<br />weak. We now know that developing PTSD is associated with compassion and<br />imagination and creativity.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="SAMSHAsubheader" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Staying healthy both physically and<br />mentally is paramount. Not only exercise and nutrition, which pretty much<br />everybody knows, but also sleep hygiene. Sleep is the neglected stepchild of<br />physical health. Keeping your mental health intact, your social life, your<br />sexual life, your intellectual life, and for some your spiritual life—these<br />build resilience,” Levounis said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He added that parents who impart<br />those healthy lifestyle habits to their kids will be helping their children be<br />resilient, too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Make a Plan. </b>This is even more important when you’re<br />on a tight deadline (like being just a few days away from April 15). Once<br />you’ve broken down what you need to accomplish into pieces, put those steps in<br />order and write down how and when you’re going to make each one happen. This<br />will help you feel like you have control over the process. Being out of control<br />is very stressful!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Keep Mentally Fit. </b>Eat well, get a full night’s<br />sleep, find a way to exercise every day, and connect with friends and loved<br />ones. Financial deadlines may have you feeling like you need to lock yourself<br />away and pull an all-nighter with a bag of potato chips and your 1040, but<br />you’ll just raise your stress level, and you probably won’t accomplish your<br />goal anyway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Giving Kids a "Sip" of Alcohol Can Send the Wrong Message About Drinking

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That little sip of wine or beer that some parents offer<br />their kids at a wedding or on New Year’s Eve may muddle messages about alcohol,<br />according to a new study by researchers at the Center for Alcohol and Addiction<br />Studies at Brown University. The scientists surveyed middle school students for<br />three years to learn whether even a taste in early childhood was a predictor of<br />risky behavior in high school. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

More than one-third of the kids surveyed reported trying their first<br />sip of alcohol by the sixth grade, and most said that their first taste took<br />place at home. Wine and beer were the most commonly tried beverages, usually at<br />a special occasion, such as a wedding or a holiday, and adults were the primary source of the alcohol. Nearly three-quarters<br />of the children were offered sips by their own mom or dad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The study also showed that<br />kids who sipped alcohol by the sixth grade were five times more likely to down<br />a full alcoholic beverage by the time they reached 9<sup>th</sup> grade—26% of<br />sippers consumed a full drink versus 5.5% of non-sippers. The earlier sippers<br />were also four times more likely to get drunk or binge drink by early high<br />school, and trying alcoholic beverages earlier in life also raised a child’s<br />risk for trying other substances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Even when the researchers<br />controlled for other factors, such as risk-taking behavior, the drinking habits<br />of parents, and a history of alcoholism in a parent, kids who’d sipped before<br />sixth grade had higher odds of alcohol use by their freshman year of high<br />school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The take-home message:<br />Offering a child a sip of your beverage may send the wrong message, says study<br />author Kristina Jackson, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of<br />Behavioral and Social Sciences at Brown School of Public Health. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Parents should provide<br />clear, consistent messages about the unacceptability of alcohol consumption for<br />youth,” Jackson advises. “Younger teens and tweens may be unable to understand<br />the difference between drinking a sip and drinking one or more drinks.<br />Certainly there are exceptions, such as religious occasions,<br />so the most important thing is to make sure that children know when drinking<br />alcohol is acceptable and when it is not.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The context of alcohol use is important, says Oscar G. Bukstein, M.D., M.P.H., medical director at DePelchin<br />Children’s Center and a clinical professor of psychiatry at Baylor College of<br />Medicine and the University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston, who was not<br />involved in the research. “Often, by allowing children to sip or try alcohol on<br />‘special occasions’, the message delivered may be one of ‘this is how we<br />celebrate’, we drink,” Buckstein says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He says that sipping may be associated with increased access to<br />alcohol, too, or more lax parent attitudes and that undermines any anti-drinking<br />messages kids hear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
