You don't think a four year old child will remember being abducted and not seeing her parents, family, home, toys and all that is familiar, safe and secure for 18 days?
What the child remembers and what she needs should be lead by her.
So why repost stuff from the media and create a thread based upon it?
Why reply to my posts?
You are interested, clearly.
So you've said.
I'm going beyond being grateful she's been found alive. I'm thnking about how the media is potentially compounding her trauma because we're using her experience to sooth our own souls. Cleo is being further abused by us, not cared for.
I'm not offended. I'm discussing how it might be a further offence against the child.
No, as a mother I wouldn't just be grateful for my child being back in my arms.
I wouldn't be thinking about how the child I had in my arms before and after being abducted by a man for 18 days might be very different.
Take a look at the language used in the media reports which is leading the language used here. Try to imagine reading this archive material in 10/15 years times from the perspective of a teenager trying to come to terms with the impact of this crime.
Generally, children are pretty eager to please. Cloe will be getting a lot of social reinforcement to smile, be happy, be grateful, be reslient because it makes us feel better that everything is okay.
Why are we expecting a four year old child who has been abducted, abandoned and lord knows what else inbetween, look after our wellbeing?
It's fantastic that she's been found alive, but just because it's over for the police and public, it's not up to the media, or us to decide that the nightmare has ended.
What right do we have to be uplifted? Are we taking somethng for ourselves which will have an impact on Cloe in the years to come? Are we shutting off an avenue of her development by insisting that she's fine and that it's all over for her?
I wonder how she'll react to these media reports in 10, 15, 20 years time.
Apparently, the reason why arteries get clogged up is not from a high fat/cholesterol diet at all. It's carbs, sugars especially, which cause inflamatory damage. You're own naturally produced cholesterol then goes to the area of inflammation to repair the damage.
In the 60's, the push for high carb/low fat diets was less about health/weght loss than it was about getting people to eat the food that was being mass produced by big corporations.
If you use carbs as an energy supply for your climbs/cycles, it might be worth looking into swapping that for high fat foods which keep blood sugar levels steady and don't cause inflamation.
I had a dentist as a child (milk teeth) who would suggest a follow up appointment if he found a bit of decay to give the tooth a chance to repair itself before drilling and filling.
These days dentists don't necessarily drill and fill milk teeth, particularly if it's going to cause distress. They apply a flouride substance to halt the decay and that seems to repair a little, too.
The other thing I thought of is that when teeth are missing, the teeth above/below the gap tend to move and can eventually fall out with no pressure keeping them in place. Without pressure from the tooth above, is it possible that the root of your broken tooth is working it's way out?
I'm not sure if you meant that the concept of women's rights was not the same in the Taliban and the Western world, or if the Western world perceives the Taliban's views on women rights differently to what they really are.
I'm not sure it matters.
If there is an attitude towards women's rights in the Western world, or in the Taliban, then women don't have equal rights.
Everybody can hang fire on patting themselves on the back for a bit.
I had a halloween party for my daughter and her friends when they were about 13. They were standing in a row in the kitchen, all dressed up and hollowing out pumpkins when all of a sudden they did a Mexican wave accompanied by loud shrieks.
My lurcher had snuck in behind them and stuck his cold, wet nose up all their skirts in turn.
