Children with ADHD

Filed under: Children, Family, Health, Medical, Parenting — dman @ 6:51 pm

People tend to easily lose patience with ADHD children as well as adults. It’s just that they are so well-adjusted in every other way, so obviously intelligent, and so capable, that any problem is easily chalked up to a bad attitude. “Couldn’t they just concentrate if they tried”, people wonder. Could they not be less flaky and unreliable? That really isn’t very kind; ADHD children aren’t really this way by choice – ADHD happens to be based in the brain in a very fundamental way over which they have no control. Adults with this problem, often frustrated with their lot are tempted to find someone to blame. ADHD runs in families usually, and an impatient parenting style can easily attract all the blame. As it happens though, no kind of parenting style actually causes ADHD; some kinds might aggravate it though.

“Online diagnose”
But there is no need to worry with a conspiracy theory at this point; the medical community is as prone to overreaction as any other. Once this relatively new disease is properly established, there will undoubtedly be a proper protocol that will be followed on how to prescribe, and information on how to cope with ADHD will be more common. For now, plenty of Internet quizzes exist that’ll help you diagnose yourself for a condition. You can’t just say to yourself, “Oh I have trouble concentrating, I’m impatient and can’t sit tight – I must have ADHD”. It might well be, that you’re just more intelligence than most, and get impatient with unchallenging situations.

A Brief History of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends

Filed under: Children — Tags: — evertdutoit @ 12:02 am

Thomas the Tank Engine gained the hearts of many children since the Railway Series of books first came out back in 1945, which isn’t surprising considering Thomas the Tank Engine books have sold about eighty million copies all around the globe, and naturally Thomas now features on a wide range of products, such as on the popular thomas the train toddler bed. As a celebration of the series’ 60th anniversary, here is some history about Thomas the Tank Engine.

Back in 1943, little Christopher Awdry, a three years-old son of an Anglican clergyman named Wilbert Awdry, was suffering from scarlet fever. Due to the nature of the disease he was forced to remain in isolation. As a way to keep him entertained, his father started telling him several stories about a group of trains living out adventures and having fun together, and thus, Thomas the Tank engine was born.

As is to be expected with any child, he demanded his father to tell him the stories over again and again, and of course corrected him each and every time an inconsistency took place. To “protect” himself from his son’s corrections, Reverend Awdry started writing down the stories onto pieces of paper to remember every detail.

To add to the storytelling, the Reverend made small sketches and drawings of cute small steam locomotives on the paper, along with the train stories. He drew a set of steam locomotives in an engine shed and added a human face to each of them, thus showing a “human” expression for each one.

One night, while his father was telling him one of the stories, little Christopher noticed a sketch of a small train with a sad face on the paper from which the Reverend was reading. Naturally, he asked his dad why that little train was so unhappy, and inquired what his name was. The Reverend then said the first name that came to his mind: Edward. That was when the first tale came to life. Since then, about a hundred small moral Thomas the Tank Engine tales came out.

The Reverend’s wife thought that those stories were good enough to be published, so they started looking for an editor. Soon, Mr. Edmund Ward (a retired businessman) showed his interest in those stories, and since then there has been a Thomas the Tank Engine book released almost every year.

Surprisingly, Thomas the Tank Engine himself did not appear in the Railway Series until the second book came out in 1946!

The books came with colorful designs that were attractive to children. With a size appropriate to fit a little kid’s hand, the books contained three stories and the stories were written on the left page, while an illustration of a certain part of the narrated events was on the right page. The first illustrator for the first dozen of Thomas the Tank Engine books was a man named C. Reginald Dalby, who established the appearance of all the characters based on the Reverend Awdry’s sketches and the aspect of real steam locomotives.

Many of the stories are based on real happenings and people. For instance, one of Reverend’s Awdry colleagues was a steam collector and is known to have inspired the character of the Vicar who saves “Trevor the Traction Engine” from the scrap heap. Being the most famous train of all times, Thomas the Tank Engine continues bringing healthy entertainment and marvelous, timeless magic stories to children around the world. Toddler Travel Bed
