Top Careers For People Haters
If you tend to get along with computers and data better than people, these seven careers could be right for you.
Does socializing with others at work make you want to run for the hills? Do you consider yourself more wallflower than social butterfly?
If you dread water cooler talk like the plague, you could be in the wrong career. The good news is there are many career options suitable for people who just aren't, well, people-persons. But finding the right one for you may require some reflection.
"One way to look at the full range of careers you can choose is to see them as dealing with a mix of data, people, and things," advises Laurence Shatkin, career expert and author of "50 Best Jobs For Your Personality." "If you want to avoid involvement with people, you want a career that focuses mainly on data or inanimate objects."
Interested in learning more? Keep reading to see which of these seven solitary careers could help you excel.
Career #1: Accountant
Find numbers and financial data more stimulating than small talk and conference calls? You might be a good fit in the often-isolated career of accountant.
Why It's Great For Solitary Types: According to the U.S. Department of Labor, some primary responsibilities of an accountant may include computing taxes, preparing financial documents, and maintaining records - all tasks that won't require a lot of face-to-face interaction.
"Although you can't avoid people entirely in this career, the job is mostly concerned with manipulating data," says Shatkin, "so the work tasks will keep you in front of your computer and away from people for most of the workday."
Click to Find the Right Accounting Program.
What You'll Need to Prep: To get ready to pursue most accountant careers, a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field is required, says the Department of Labor.
Career #2: Graphic Designer
We get it. You're a creative type. You prefer bending over your sketch pad beneath a single desk lamp to going out with your friends. Fortunately for you, graphic design is one career where you can be your aloof little self.
Why It's Great For Solitary Types: Since most of these could be done from the comfort of your computer, according to Shatkin, you'll be happy to hear that interaction with others could be minimal.
"You may need to communicate with people to receive their suggestions or corrections, particularly if you are part of a collaborative effort such as designing the graphic content of a video game. However, most of the time you will be working alone, especially if you freelance," says Shatkin.
Some duties of a graphic designer may include using the computer to design images for logos or websites, creating designs that convey a message, or developing layouts for magazines, notes the U.S. Department of Labor.
Click to Find the Right Graphic Design Program.
What You'll Need to Prep: According to the Department of Labor, graphic designers are usually required to have a bachelor's degree in graphic design or a related field, as well as a professional portfolio that showcases their talent. If you have a bachelor's degree in another field, you could "pursue technical training in graphic design to meet qualifications," says the Department.
Career #3: Software Developer
Are you more interested in working with computers than people? You might consider a career as a software developer.
Why It's Great For Solitary Types: "Software developers spend almost the entire day in front of the computer. Those who work in highly collaborative settings, such as those developing a new smartphone app, will have to bounce their ideas off of co-workers, but even in these situations it is often possible to avoid meetings and limit most communication to e-mails," Shatkin says.
As a software developer, you may be responsible for making sure computer programs work correctly, making it nearly impossible for you to have idle time to chit chat. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, this job could offer you the opportunity to telecommute.
Click to Find the Right Computer Science Program.
What You'll Need to Prep: How does one pursue a career as a software developer? Well, according to the Department of Labor, software developers usually have a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field, as well as strong computer programming skills. A degree in mathematics is also considered acceptable to pursue this career.
Career #4:Medical Records and Health Information Technician
If organizing medical data without interacting with people sounds like a blast to you, consider a career as a medical records and health information technician.
Why It's Great For Solitary Types: It's simple: your patients won't be people, but data. "This is a data-centered career that focuses on medical data rather than on patients," says Shatkin. "If you want to get involved in the booming health-care industry but don't want to deal with patients, this is a good choice."
The U.S. Department of Labor echoes Shatkin, noting that "this is one of the few health-related occupations in which there is no direct hands-on patient care."
What might you put your hands on? Typical duties include recording patient data electronically, organizing data for clinical databases, and data security, notes the Department of Labor.
Click to Find the Right Health Information Technology Program.
What You'll Need to Prep: According to the Department of Labor, medical records and health information technician applicants usually need a postsecondary certificate to qualify, while some even have an associate's. Most employers prefer to hire those who have professional certification.
Career #5: Cost Estimators
Do you like balancing budgets and making sure timelines are met for projects? A career as a cost estimator might be your calling.
Why It's Great For Solitary Types: People lovers need not apply, as cost estimators spend tons of time using computers to manipulate data.
"These workers, like accountants, deal primarily with figures. They work in construction and manufacturing industries and help determine the likely costs of planned projects. They meet with managers to explain their findings, but most of their work is focused on obtaining cost figures stored in databases," says Shatkin.
Other typical responsibilities of a cost estimator could include using sophisticated computer software to estimate costs, preparing estimates for clients, and analyzing inputs to determine the profitability of a project, notes the U.S. Department of Labor.
Click to Find the Right Construction Management Program.
What You'll Need to Prep: If you're interested in pursuing a career as a construction cost estimator, the Department of Labor notes that a bachelor's degree in an industry-related field, such as building science or construction management is generally needed. For those interested in manufacturing cost estimating, the Department advises that a bachelor's degree in physical sciences, mathematics, engineering, or statistics is typically needed.
Career #6: Commercial Pilot
Always wanted to fly the friendly skies without the friendly part? You might be perfect in a career as a commercial pilot.
Why It's Great For Solitary Types: You won't be hamming it up on the plane's intercom as a commercial pilot. In fact, you won't even have a flight crew. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, commercial pilots fly aircrafts for reasons such as firefighting, charter flights, crop dusting, or aerial photography. Sounds pretty solitary to us.
"Unlike airline pilots, who have to share the cockpit with a copilot, many commercial pilots fly solo," says Shatkin. "When they're not flying, they may have to schedule flights, arrange for maintenance of the plane, or even load luggage for a charter flight, but their tasks generally do not involve a great amount of human interaction."
Click to Find the Right Aviation Program.
What You'll Need to Prep: A growing number of pilots today pursue an associate's or bachelor's degree from a civilian flying school, and employers prefer to hire those with a college degree, notes the Department of Labor. Commercial pilots are also required to have a license.
Career #7: Computer Programmer
Would you rather make a companion of a computer than a co-worker? A career as a computer programmer could be right up your quiet, empty alley.
Why It's Great For Solitary Types: A love of computers, not people, is a must in this occupation. "Like software developers, programmers are glued to the computer for the whole workday and do not need much contact with co-workers," says Shatkin.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, computer programmers could be responsible for debugging programs, writing programs in different languages like Java or C++, and updating existing programs.
Click to Find the Right Computer Science Program.
What You'll Need to Prep: A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field is common among computer programmers, and some employers will even hire applicants with just an associate's degree, notes the Department of Labor.

What is Testosterone?
Medical scientists define Testosterone as a steroid hormone from a class of male-hormones called androgen and is found in birds, reptiles, mammals, and other vertebrates. In the case of mammals, testicles of males and even ovaries and adrenal glands of females primarily produce Testosterone; although research has shown that the total Testosterone levels in females are about a tenth of the levels secreted by men. Despite the fact that the testes secrete the above hormone, the production is actually controlled by the hypothalamus of the brain and pituitary glands as well.
Functions of Testosterone
As stated earlier in the definition section, Testosterone is mainly secreted by male testes, and it plays a key role in the development and growth of male reproductive systems, organs, and tissues such as prostate and testis as well as enhancing sexual characteristics such as increased bone mass, muscles mass and strength, and the development of facial and body hair. Other vital functions of the above hormone include the following:
· It is essential for overall health and well-being of the body
· It prevents development of osteoporosis
· Enhances the development of secondary sexual characteristics at puberty, which include deepening of the male voice, and so on
· It plays a vital role in sperm production
· It stimulates and maintains sexual function
· It helps the body to carry out fat distribution function
Normal Levels of Testosterone
As stated in the definition section, the levels of Testosterone in an adult male are about ten times higher as compared to an adult female. Nevertheless, just like the blood pressure or cholesterol levels, research has shown that there is a numerical range under which the Testosterone levels must be within to be considered as a normal level. Indeed, it is the testicles and the brain that works together to keep the levels in the required range; when the Testosterone levels are below the normal range, the brain sends some nerve signals to the testicles to produce more. Similarly, when levels exceed the normal range, the same process repeats itself, but this time round, the testicles are instructed to secrete less.
Effects of High Testosterone Levels
Medical research has shown that Testosterone levels above the normal range contributes to irregular menstrual cycles in women, can lead to an increase in body acne and hair, even excessive voice deepening. In the worst-case conditions, it can cause infertility in both men and women.
Effects of Low Testosterone Levels
It has been known that the levels of Testosterone decrease naturally as age increases. In addition, low levels of testosterone have been known to be varying wildly depending on the time of day. For instance, when measured in the evening, it is found to be below the normal range. People with low levels of the above hormone have been complaining of reduced energies and low sex drive.
Testosterone Therapy
If one has been suffering from high, low, or testosterone deficiencies, treatment has to be diversified to restore it to the normal levels. Nowadays, testosterone treatment is available in many hospitals and clinics. However, one of the side effects of testosterone treatment is of course, low sperm count.

Melamine: Toxicity in Dog Food
Recall Follow-up

These are still ongoing issues. The current problems in 2012 with chicken jerky treats, for example. In communications, the FDA claims it cannot order a recall because it hasn't identified the ingredients linked to over 600 North American dog deaths in 2011. The communications from the FDA are published on the Poisoned Pets website.
Given the information in the above article, it seems plausible that the information is available but has not been found by the FDA.

My compliments. Looked up this data after noticing my Red Heeler started refusing his usual food which he's never refused before. Also has been acting despondent very unlike him and losing weight while only eating other food offered in lieu of his usual 'Olde Roy' (sp.) purchased at Wal-Mart. Wondered if the 'melamine' in dog food or something similar could be repeating itself in 2013. I have been feeding this brand for many years.
Referring to my email 'handle' I do not necessarily breed dogs but am a pioneer breeder of South African Boer goats in North America having imported embryos and doing two on-farm embryo programs back in 1994. Also a past breeder of Arabian horses so have had a special interest in nutrition, breeding, and especially pharmaceuticals that often bear thoughtful inquiry.
If you learn of other cases being reported or have comment on my current suspicion re my Heeler's behaviour and ongoing food refusals please email me. I only just connected the dots and started realizing there was something wrong with his food and thought of the melamine fiasco. My thanks and again my compliments on the thoroughness of your research. Lisa E.

Its colour is incandescent gold. The perfect harmonious nose reveals aromas of vineyard blossom combined to Limousin oak and hints of vanilla and mellow rancio. Its virility never turns into aggressiveness, which enables you to savour fully its lingering taste and remarkable finesse.
Gold Medal 2003 at International Reviews Spirits Competitionx
In July 2013 Louis Royer XO Cognac was Named Among The World's Top 120 Spirits by Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal is one of the key voices in spirits criticism and its list represents the very best of five-star rated distillates across a comprehensive range of spirits categories. The publication praised Louis Royer XO Cognac for its "Deeply nutty aromas. Midpalate highlights aspects of honey, cocoa and chocolate orange. Aftertaste is luscious, honeyed and profoundly deep."
Pacult added : "By choosing Louis Royer XO (#23 on the list) to be a member of the Spirit Journal Top 120 Spirits in the World list for 2013, we were simply acknowledging what strides have been made at this esteemed Cognac house in the last decade,"
And he further stated : "The XO is a banquet of wonderful aromas and flavors that would easily please any sophisticated admirer of luxury spirits. The editors of F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal are happy to point consumers in the direction of Louis Royer."
"We are honored to have Louis Royer XO Cognac take its rightful place among the finest spirits in the world," says Philippe Pichetto, Export Director, Louis Royer Cognac. "XO is our house's signature spirit and we consider it quite an achievement to impress Mr. Pacult's discerning palate. XO offers complexity, balance and authenticity in a single sip. We find that it delights both connoisseurs and newcomers to this noble sipping spirit."

Preventing Aggression over Food
A simple approach is often effective
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Anonymous | July 19 2011 | Permalink
I strongly disagree with giving the dog a treat... you're teaching the dog to be affectionate towards you by bribing it. Have an expectation of the dog, give the dog a pat on the head or something.. but not a treat. The dog should be happy to see you, because you're their owner, not because you have something to bribe him with.
Submitted by DeAnna | July 19 2011 | Permalink
The bribing comment always sets my teeth on edge =)
Submitted by Anonymous | July 19 2011 | Permalink
You're absolutely wrong, anonymous. First of all, dogs don't think the way you're anthropomorphically describing. The point of tossing a treat isn't about making the dog 'more affectionate', and it's not bribery, (dogs don't know what bribery is, fwiw) it's creating a learned response. Person approaches while eating = great things happen (more food!). Next time person approaches, expect good things to continue happening. Classical conditioning.
I suppose you might be the best dog owner ever, and your dog's response to being patted on the head while eating *might* override any "happiness" they may be "feeling" at your arrival, but then again, if the dog is thoroughly enjoying its meal, and somebody keeps invading its personal space to touch it on the head, it might eventually associate the approach of a person with 'invasion of space, no reward', because the level of reward from a pat on the head isn't near the level of the food reward. If there was any tendency to resource guard, I'd be willing to bet it would be reinforced over time without a food (or something better) reward.
Submitted by Dog trainer | July 19 2011 | Permalink
Good article! Anonymous I strongly disagree with you. Wanting to be with you is about relationship building and ultimately reinforcement for the dog. Dogs don't understand the concept of "owner" nor does being their owner create an automatic love or respect for the owner by the dog!
Food is a primary reinforcement for the dog...a dog at the food bowl isn't necessarily going to see "a pat on the head or something" as better as or good as e food in it's bowl and therefor your approach will not be a positive rewarding one. In fact you've missed part of the point of the article! A pat on the head is an approach while the dog is at the food bowl without anything Good in the approach for the dog! (unless you've conditioned the dog that a Pat is a really good thing...which for most dogs it really isn't! ) instead you need a high value reward. Something equal to or greater than the food in the bowl in order for this technique to be worthwhile!
Personally I tell most people to just let their dogs eat in peace! In all my years of living with and training (30+) dogs I've never had to teach a dog to accept my approach and I've never had a dog possessive of food or toys. But if you do, the suggestions in is article are right on target for solving the problems!
Submitted by Julie J | July 19 2011 | Permalink
The idea is to create a positive association; after the initial practice, you can fade the food reward, and the good association remains.
Submitted by Frances | July 19 2011 | Permalink
Anonymous - Now why on earth should a dog be happy to see some human just because they have paid out money to purchase it? Dogs like people who provide Good Stuff for Dogs - walks, games, back rubs, and FOOD. A pat on the head while eating is more of an annoyance than anything else; a piece of chicken or cheese is a wonderful surprise. I rarely bribe my dogs - but I frequently reward them for good behaviour, and for just being wonderful companions. (And they are delighted when I approach them during meals, just in case a little extra is on its way!)
Submitted by Specialty Pet T... | July 19 2011 | Permalink
Rewards and treats are not bribes. The definition of bribe "is to entice or persuade". Rewarding and treating the dog for good behavior is giving the dog something he likes for a job well done. In this case - enjoying his food bowl and not being bothered by you walking around him or being near by! As always a great article Bark! I will be sharing it!
Submitted by JC | July 21 2011 | Permalink
Do you have any recommendations for a dog who has water bowl aggression? It doesn't happen when I go near her, but when another dog approaches, she shows her teeth. I want to tackle to problem now.
Submitted by Anonymous | July 28 2011 | Permalink
Great article. My husband and I had the same thought of putting our hand in the bowl as if she was sharing her food with us or vice versa. Then when we started puppy class they taught us the way you say to do it basically. Put treats in her bowl as you approached.

|Cover of the programme for the dedication of the Llandrindod Wells War Memorial, signed by Walter Powell
|An extract from the programme for the Urban District of Llandrindod Wells Unveiling and Dedication of the War Memorial erected in the Town Hall Grounds in honoured memory of the men of Llandrindod Wells who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914-1919.
Walter Powell notes on the cover The Radnorshire Memorial Fund was £25,000. This memorial was erected with the surplus of the £23,000 collected for Radnorshire. The two new wings of Llandrindod Hospital were the memorial to all Radnorshire men who gave their lives during the war. W.H. Powell
Part of a collection relating to Walter H. Powell, Llandrindod Wells, (private / driver M2-267205 Mechanised Transport Army Service Corps). Born 1898, Walter tried to join up under-age on a number of occasions, finally succeeding in 1916. He served many months - (more than 2 years?) - in different army units in Britain, before going over to France. He served as a despatch rider for an anti-aircraft battery in 1918-1919. Walter was gassed suffering the effects all his life. He was a founder member of Toc-H in Llandrindod, and a keen footballer - he died in 1994 aged 96. However Walter's older brothers (Cliff and Percy Powell) and his uncle (Humphrey Powell) died of wounds sustained during the war.

Dublin City is blazing into party overdrive for its New Year's Eve Festival. The Countdown Concert is going to be one giant House of Fun!
When the clock strikes 12 on December 31 The Gathering will come to a close. What a year it's been! From the Town of a Thousand Beards, to the Riverdance world record success and all the other whacky Gatherings in between. The Gathering brought out the very best in Ireland. Naturally, we're going to finish this momentous year in style with the Ultimate Gathering. Introducing The Gathering's grand finale: NYE Dublin.
Lonely Planet knows a good festival when they see one. That's why they selected Dublin City in their top five best destinations for New Year's Eve (NYE). Couple that with the fact that Dublin City has been voted Europe's friendliest city, not once, but twice (according to Tripadvisor)!
There's no two ways about it, Dublin is a rock 'n' roll city. The NYE 2014 Countdown Concert is set to shake, rattle and roll Dublin City into the New Year. This year's going to be mad…literally. We've got the sultans of ska, the kings of swing: Madness headlining this epic gig and they're set to turn the entire city into one, giant House of Fun.
County Cavan kids The Strypes have been carving out a rocket-fuelled path across the music world this year. They shook Glastonbury to its core and they're lining up to do the same for the Countdown Concert. Future rock legends in the making!
Joining Madness and The Strypes, we've got a musician who stormed onto the music scene in Ireland and internationally: Ryan Sheridan. Fresh from reaching number one in the German iTunes charts, Ryan's hook-filled, guitar stompers are sure to get the crowds jumping. And that's not all!

As we said, we want you to fall in love with Dublin too. After #LoveDublin Day, you may find it hard to leave.

The Big Brunch has everything you need to revitalise after the night before. Temple Bar's Meeting House Square will transform into a delicious food market with lively entertainment to boot.

Then, just like a scene from the Great Gatsby, the Vintage Tea Dance will have you dancing the two-step, charleston and jiving. All to the jazz beat of the Swinging Cat Blues Band. There'll also be glamorous dancers in full costume to show you how it's done.
Did you know that traditional Irish dancing is a known cure for late nights out? You didn't!! See, that's why we've organised an interactive Electric Ceilí. Meeting House Square will morph into a dancehall complete with traditional Irish musicians.
So join in the craic. Don't know the steps? Who cares? It's all about taking part.
It's going to be a real challenge to top 2013. But that's exactly what we're going to do. We've gotten a taste for being the festival capital of the world. So expect bigger and better things in Ireland for 2014.

Currently there is a very unfinished Rubix Cube sitting on my desk despite hours of trying to get that last red square in the spot I want it. Fighting the urge to just peel it off and replace the green one that's currently occupying that spot I came across this video. After the mystery hands destroy a Rubix Cube in about 15 seconds, they pick up a specially designed one and make it dance.
Watch this choreographed cube move to the awesome musical styling's of Daft Punk.

The biggest Team USA news coming out of Sochi yesterday was Shaun White not getting his half-pipe hat trick of gold over the last three winter games. As arguably, the most recognizable snowboarder in the World, we were all so used to his long hair over the years. Was there a Samson thing going on or did he just have a bad night?

Add me to the ranks of tired impatient mama in the morning. My tooth (which is ironically what I keep calling the spot in my mouth where there is no tooth) is finally tolerable without ibuprofen. But as per usual as a result of the antibiotic, I also have mouthful of canker sores. It hurts to talk and Sawyer came crashing down on my mouth this morning in a dive bomb fashion from his sidecarred crib.
Holy. Hurt.
I sat him down and said, "No jumping" very firmly. He cried and cried and cried. And I suck because I let him jump on the bed all the time so wtf am I thinking getting mad at him for it in a random moment? I felt like a jerk. I've been grouchy for days not with this sore mouth and I bet my kids are just sick to death of me. I keep telling them why and that I'm sorry for my lack of enthusiasm but they're OVER IT. Lol. And, I decided to let go of all the stuff with my mil. It was getting me all stompy in my own living room thinking about everything. I'm usually really good at shaking off stuff like that but her visit was like a beat down! I'm not sure we can do it again, may have to choose a nuetral vacation spot to meet up. But I had to release all of that anger I was carrying around with me. Do you ever notice when you get aggravated about something and can't get it off your mind, you catch yourself in the mirror and you're scowling? I hate it when I catch myself with furrowed eyebrows!

The smell of LUSH
Spicy, citrusy and distinctly unique, Karma is the signature scent of LUSH. Patchouli, sweet orange and lemongrass oils combine to create a scent that is both warm, and enticing. LUSH Co-founder and perfumer Mark made this one as an ode to hippies and head shops, and is one of his creations that was inspired heavily by music. Karma has topped our charts since it was launched and we love it so much, we had to create an entire Karma product line so we can surround ourselves in good Karma!
- Groovy tunes: Karma is inspired by the psychedelic 70s and Massive Attack's "layers and layers of creamy sound".
- Everyone can have good Karma: Karma is a LUSH best-seller worldwide, so it's also available as a body cream, soap, body powder, shampoo bar and a bubble bar.
- Main notes: Orange, patchouli, pine, lavendin, lemongrass and elemi.

When shifting on the front chain rings the chain can sometimes get jammed on the teeth causing it to get stuck between crank and chain stay. This is also called "chain suck". This occurs mainly when shifting down onto the two smallest chain rings.
The cause may be bent teeth on your chain rings or an incorrectly adjusted front derailleur.
However, this is mainly the result of worn chain rings. On old and worn chain rings the cause is mainly an edge that has formed and when shifting the chain gets stuck causing the chain to get jammed between chain stay and crank.
If the chain is completely wedged in between crank and chain stay, then you'll need to take off the crank to free it.
Check chsin wear and regularly and replace chain and all other parts of the drivetrain if they are worn out

Surviving with a Spirited Child
How to help your child manage his or her "spirited" behavior and what you can do to diffuse problems or avoid them
Can You Relate?
When my oldest was four, she had five or six full-blown tantrums a day, ugly scenes in which she would lie on the floor kicking, screaming, and lashing out at me. To improve her behavior, I did try everything. I tried time-outs. I tried taking privileges and favorite toys away. I tried positive reinforcement and I tried bribery. I tried ignoring her. I tried negative reinforcement and I tried discussion. Nothing worked. I wondered if my daughter had a disorder that made her this way. I had her evaluated by school personnel and asked my doctor about her. They assured me she did not fit any diagnosis. I felt desperate and alone.
Then I learned I wasn't alone. I was surfing on the Internet and came across a message board for parents of "Spirited Kids." The parents there were talking about kids just like mine. "It can be isolating having a spirited child," says Deborah Shafritz, leader of that message board, parent educator, and mother. "It's great to know that you're not the only one. It's comforting and empowering, and it makes you feel like you're not a bad parent."
This supportive group of parents also introduced me to the books by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, entitled Raising Your Spirited Child and its companion workbook, as well as Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles. By reading these books and others, I learned that my daughter wasn't just bratty, ADD, or hyperactive. She was "spirited."
Who is the Spirited Child?
Kurcinka defines the spirited child as, "A normal child who is more. They are more intense, sensitive, perceptive, persistent, energetic." There is no medical diagnosis for spirit—the term is merely a way for parents to relate to their children and specific "spirited" behaviors.
It's likely that you've encountered many spirited kids throughout your life, as experts believe that approximately 20 percent of children in the United States are spirited. Many of these may receive misdiagnosis for other disorders such as ADHD. "This is because sometimes the underlying issues of temperament are not addressed first," Kurcinka says.
Helen Neville, BS, RN, and co-author of Temperament Tools: Working with Your Child's Inborn Traits, taught parenting classes in California for ten years when she noticed the differences between temperament issues and other diagnoses. "I'd worked with enough parents who were concerned, dedicated, and well-educated and who were trying hard," Neville says. "But the amount that these challenging kids pushed was different. It was more. Learning about temperament is the missing piece to parenting."
The Temperament Challenge
To help us understand the temperament traits, Kurcinka asks parents to take a survey, scoring for their children and then themselves. Here are those nine traits, what it would mean to be on the high—or difficult—end of the scale for each, and some techniques experts recommend for dealing with each trait.
Intensity: Kids with high intensity react in extremes, sometimes even in positive situations like a special occasion. Lots of tantrums over seemingly little things indicate high intensity. Repetitive motion activities like swinging, jumping rope, or doing jumping jacks are often helpful calming techniques. If your child loved to nurse constantly or suck on a pacifier as an infant, then chewing gum or drinking from a sippy cup or straw could help relieve tension.
Energy: High-energy kids have a physical need to run and jump frequently. Without enough physical outlets, a high-energy child will exert that energy in inappropriate ways or at inappropriate times.
Adaptability: To a child who is slow to adapt, any changes in schedule or routine are a problem. These kids need extra time to get used to things, and they may never feel comfortable in some situations. Just acknowledging this will help.
First reaction: Children with strong negative first reactions to new situations will refuse to try new foods, new activities, or play with new friends. They don't do this to be stubborn, but rather they simply feel like they can't. Creating smooth daily transitions and a gradual approach to trying new things can help alleviate stress.
Persistence: The persistent child digs in and will not back down in an argument. She repeats questions or demands endlessly. Using a calm, firm voice instead of yelling when giving directions helps keep tension lower, and adjusting expectations and weighing the needs of both you and your child can help you "pick your battles."
Regularity: If your child is regular, he or she generally eats, sleeps, and eliminates at regular times. An irregular child doesn't get hungry at set times and can stay up late with little problem. A very regular child will get whiny if meals aren't regular and he or she needs more sleep, so bedtimes are very important.
Sensitivity: The highly sensitive child reacts negatively to certain sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures. Clothing may seem itchy or ill fitting. The smells of some food may make her gag. Bright lights could make her nervous and irritable. Don't think of it as indulgent to buy only one kind of socks or limit shopping time in bright stores.
Perceptiveness: A perceptive child pays great attention to his surroundings and becomes distracted easily. This is the child who stops to look at a bug on the ground when you're in a hurry to get to the bus stop. So, anticipate. Grant this child extra time to do things and give cues like using eye contact or a touch on the shoulder to help him stay focused on your directions.
Mood: This is the tendency of all people to either be happy-go-lucky or grumpy and blue. Mood is often affected by all the other traits.
The Trickiest Traits of All
So, which trait is hardest to deal with in a child? "The intense, slow to adapt child is likely to be the most challenging," says Neville. "Then if you add high energy to that, it makes it harder."
Kurcinka agrees that intensity is a difficult trait. "This is partly because intense children tend to have intense parents," she says. "When a child becomes intense and moves to the 'red zone' or bubbling-over phase, our natural inclination is to go with them." She says the challenge then becomes how a parent chooses to deal with the intense situation. Kurcinka recommends that the parent take a deep breath and know that while she is equally upset by the situation, she doesn't have to go to that tantrum mode where the child already resides. After this, the key is to recognize and modify for each trait's inherent "triggers"—things that happen throughout our day that make us feel out of control or send us into that "red zone."
Rethinking Energy Overload
High energy is an issue that Shafritz deals with in raising her own daughter. "When she was little, we had to move or remove furniture because she'd climb all over everything," Shafritz says, adding that once she understood her daughter's temperament and energy needs, these changes made sense. "Learning about what made her tick made things so much easier. Now she still has energy, but she uses it to get things done."
A common example of a high-energy child is one who can't sit still in a restaurant. Some would say the parent needs to "make" the child sit there for an hour or more and eat a meal. It's something they have to learn how to do. Right?
Neville disagrees. "Kids are who they are and don't have a lot of ability [at a young age] to change," she says. "We're used to saying that the kid has to be different. But when we know about temperament, the parent can do the work of modifying, adjusting, and lowering expectations for behavior."
If your child can't seem to sit still in a restaurant, you need to think ahead. "Planning for success means being aware that this child is vulnerable," says Kurcinka. Parents may try bringing an assortment of quiet things like coloring books, puzzles, and small toys for the child. It may be necessary to take the child out for a walk or a drive while the food is being prepared. Sometimes calling ahead with an order is possible, so that wait time at the table is reduced. If it's still too much of a challenge, then getting take-out and eating at home may be a better choice.
Giving Them Their Words
It's also important to use "emotion coaching"—helping give your child words to the things that she is feeling. "You can't manage emotions if you can't name them," Kurcinka says. "Kids need to learn to tell adults what they need. We need to give them the words to describe what is happening to their bodies and what emotion is inside them."
But is this simply giving in to the whims of the child? Kurcinka says no. "Coaching is not giving a kid what they want. It's allowing kids to be to successful and get the help that's needed," she says.
Neville agrees that giving kids an understanding of their temperament is key. She explains, "Instead of them saying, 'No! I won't do it,' they can learn to say, 'I'm not ready. I need more time.' They'll find an acceptable way to do things."
The Road to Success
Kurcinka says parents will begin to see progress when their child can verbalize what he needs and what soothes and calms him. "By age seven or eight, they are learning to manage it pretty well," she says.
Shafritz agrees that she started to see noticeable improvement in her daughter's behavior at that age. "After seven, it became a more dramatic change. Her sensitivities are actually almost gone now. She's still intense, but she handles it better," Shafritz says. "She is still persistent, but it's more positive; she hates to leave things unfinished, which is great for school."
Kurcinka says it is successes like these that we, as parents, need to celebrate. "Savoring success means instead of focusing on the mistake, focusing on strengths. It helps you to catch what's going well," she says. "Triumph gives us energy to go on to grow."
Kurcinka also provides parents with hope for the future. "Spirited adults are amazing people. They are aware of their emotions and able to calm themselves. Everyone loves them."
So, when it comes to your child's behavior—have you really tried everything? Maybe a look at your child's temperament is worth a try.
