[joesamas mama]

JSM,be sure and check out the Caylee thread this morning.   

Good Morning Everybody. 

I have already been to the Caylee thread and posted there. I am barely awake, and trying to drink my first cup of coffee to clear my head. Bad enough the first thing I saw on tv this morning was dear leader yapping again. I am going to read more about the Dallas attempt JSM was talking about. And, it's raining here again. I see Qadaffi's tent is back up in Ct. How dam*ed long is he going to stay anyway. I thought he was giving his speech and leaving. Should I just go back to bed??? 

Go back to bed and maybe something happy will happen when you wake up. 

Sorry, Hubby's got a headache!

Spanking May Lower Kids' IQs
FRIDAY, Sept. 25 (HealthDay News) -- The bad news is that youngsters who are spanked might lose IQ points.

The good news is that it appears that children's IQs are on the rise -- and at least one expert believes that part of the reason why is that corporal punishment is falling out of favor in the United States and elsewhere.

That's the view of discipline and domestic violence expert Murray Straus, a professor of sociology and co-director of the Family Research Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire. Straus was scheduled to present the findings from recent research on spanking on Friday at the International Conference on Violence, Abuse and Trauma in San Diego.

The results of a survey of more than 17,000 university students from 32 countries "show that the higher the percent of parents who used corporal punishment, the lower the national average IQ," Straus wrote in his presentation.

In looking at spanking just in the United States, Straus and a fellow researcher reviewed data on IQ scores from 806 children between 2 and 4 years old and another 704 kids aged 5 to 9.

When their IQs were tested again four years later, children in the younger group who were not spanked scored five points higher, on average, than did children who had been spanked. In the group of older children, spanking resulted in an average loss of 2.8 points.

"How often parents spanked made a difference," Straus said in a news release from the university. "The more spanking, the slower the development of the child's mental ability. But even small amounts of spanking made a difference."
Dr. Rahil Briggs, a child psychologist with the Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York City, said she believes that "discipline should be an opportunity to teach your child something."

"If you spank, you teach your child that hitting is the way to deal with a situation," she said. "But if you use other methods of discipline, you can begin teaching your child higher-level cognitive skills, self-control, cause-and-effect and logical thinking."

Briggs said that previous research has clearly shown that when children are in negative stressful situations, it can actually change the architecture of their brains and impair certain neural processes.

Dr. Stephen Ajl, a child abuse pediatrician, director of pediatric ambulatory care at the Brooklyn Hospital Center and medical director of the Jane Barker Brooklyn Children's Advocacy Center in New York City, said that "spanking and other forms of corporal punishment mean that someone has lost control, and if that goes on on a chronic basis, it may affect some part of children's psychological well-being."

And though some people believe that they can use spanking as a form of punishment without losing control, Briggs said that's very difficult to do all the time.

"When you're physical with your child, you open that floodgate, and the likelihood that it could veer into where you don't have as much control increases," Briggs said. "Plus, if you're just spanking, you haven't taught your child anything."

Straus's presentation at the violence conference was also to include findings from the study of university students, done by researchers in 32 countries. It found that in nations with decreasing use of corporal punishment, the countries' average IQ scores rose.

Those findings are plausible and make some sense, Briggs said, but she added that it's difficult to tease out all the other factors that could play a role in IQ scores -- including poverty and parental education.

Ajl recommended that parents think about how they want to discipline they're children before they're faced with a situation. And, he said, a pediatrician can help parents come up with more effective ways to discipline their children.

Happy Friday Monkeys  YAY!  I heard about the guy who was going to blow up that building in Texas JSM - I also heard he snuck in south of the border and O'Bogus wants to remove agents on the border???????  I can't take it. 

I didn't know he came across the border. I know he lived in a town called Italy (pronounced It leee). Obambi is removing agents, but Rick Perry is sending the Texas Rangers to the border to help.

Go RICK    Yeah I heard that reported on our talk show here this morning that they got in south of the US border - what is it going to take to convince them we need to seal these borders IDK JSM it is so upsetting.

IDK MIssion, something bads gonna have to happen to get the borders closed. It is very scary.

Uh-oh! I forgot this was the Islam Day of Prayer in D.C. today at the Capitol Building.........I think I'm gonna need more booze! 

Warning:  drinking lots of booze may cause you to think "Dirty Dancing" is a good movie.

I thought "Dirty Dancing" was a good movie when I was sober. My hubby watches it on DVD and the movie channels all the time. Maybe if I gave him some of my orange juice and played it for him he wouldn't have a headache anymore! 

I'd rather watch ANY Russ Meyer film, preferably in 3D.

   The one thing I always try to keep in mind with Caylee's case is that the SA must have something damn good to put the death penalty back on the table but I understand what you are saying.  When you read stories like that it makes your stomach turn and it gets your blood boiling all over again.

At this stage of the game, I don't think hubby's heart could stand it.

Many French people think that they are better than everyone else due to their barets and palettes.    Oui!!  Oui!!!
