Toddler Toothbrushing Wars, Continued
Hi Amy,
You answered my last question about toddlers and TV with lots of great ideas I hadn't thought of, so I'm hoping you might be able to tackle this one too.
My just turned two year old HATES having his teeth brushed. Clenches his lips closed, blocks with his tongue, kicks, flails, you name it. We have tried all the obvious (to me) suggestions: letting him choose his own new! cool! toothbrush, having him watch us brush our teeth, letting him brush our teeth, letting him brush his own teeth, making up a silly song, etc etc. Sometimes whatever we try makes it better for one night, but then we're back to the same. Now that we're over the two year mark, I'm starting to get concerned about cavities because I don't know how really clean we're getting his teeth in the 30 seconds we might be able to get the brush in his mouth. I don't want to traumatize the poor kid by forcefully holding him down and restraining his arms every night, but I also don't want our first trip to the dentist to result in four cavities or something. (And no, we haven't been to the dentist yet because I really don't think there's a chance he'll open his mouth for a stranger when he won't even come close to opening it for me or his dad.)
So… help! Did you go through this with your kids or have they been rock star teeth brushers from the start? I'd love some new suggestions to try or at the very least, to know when we might expect to come out of this. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
Haa, timely! I just finished taking my two older boys to their respective dental check-ups, so teeth have been a regular topic of conversation around here. (But also HUZZAH, off the hook for another six months until I have to take them again!)
The good news is that despite having spent the last six years locked in various brushing battles with various levels of success, we have not had a single, solitary cavity. And that's with one super-sensory-avoiding kid who REFUSED to let me brush his teeth without screaming and fighting FOR YEARS, and with one super-independent preschooler who insists on doing it all by himself…and screams and fights if I try to get in there and do a slightly better job.
Yet at the dentist, every time: "You guys are doing a great job! Keep on doing what you're doing; see you in six months."
Now, I'm not saying that brushing isn't important and that it's totally okay to half-ass it or whatever. I think we balance out the brushing failings with 1) decent genetics (my husband and I never had cavities until we were older and were drinking soda and eating a lot of junk), and 2) a very good diet for our kids: NO soda, VERY minimal juice, limited sweets (baked goods AND candy), no "gummy" candies or vitamins (our dentist ALWAYS specifically asks about gummy vitamins because they stick to teeth in the morning and can cause decay). We're also super-hardcore about the no bottles after one year and no extra snacks after you brush your teeth for the night.
So I think if you're concerned about your toddler's toothbrushing routine (and who isn't, honestly?), making sure you're doing plenty of other good, dental-conscious things for their mouth via diet can give you extra breathing room. So if your kid is a non-tooth-brusher, but still taking a bottle of milk to bed or eats nothing but hamburger buns and fruit leather, well…it might be time to focus on improving at least one of those situations. It's a balancing act, in the end.
And! Although I once felt EXACTLY the way you did regarding the dentist — my kid freaks when I brush his teeth, why in the world would I take him to the dentist? — I've since belatedly figured out that actually, that's a little backwards. Depending on the dentist, anyway. Once I sacked up and started taking my children to the dentist, the tooth-brushing battles decreased significantly.
(Note that the recommendation is that children "should see a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than his/her first birthday." I never did that, but am going to follow it with Ike, just to kickstart the familiarity/comfort level. I'm not really sure we gained anything by waiting to introduce the dentist, you know?)
Now I'm not necessarily talking about just any dentist. You want a good pediatric dentist who is very good with kids, who hires very patient hygienists who are EXCEEDINGLY good with kids. Makes a world of difference. My children haven't yet managed to have a full, complete cleaning yet — there's usually at least one stage/instrument that they completely freak out about and refuse. And our dentist and hygienists have always been smart enough not to push, especially for kids with no cavities and healthy gums. "Next time," they say, and focus on making sure the boys leave feeling successful, not scared, and loaded up with fun prizes.
But before that, they teach them (and me) the best brushing techniques and ideas for getting cooperation, and explain why it's important in kid-friendly language and blah etc. How to make sure I'm not hurting them (pushing the brush too far back, etc.) and how to make the most of the 30-second window Ezra sometimes gives us to "help" (circles, not side-to-side, have him sit on my lap and lean back/upside-down while Jason brushes and sings). And I'm now a million times more confident in Noah's solo brushing technique than I was before.
And while the dentist is still not like, their favorite place EVER or anything, they both definitely come away with an understanding that if they DON'T brush their teeth (and occasionally let Mommy help), the next trip to the dentist will probably not involve prizes and they won't be allowed to skip the Vibrating Toothbrush Of Doom or X-Rays Of Death. Ezra was two when he first saw the dentist, and believe me, it was way, WAY easier at two than it was for Noah at four. (Hence my oath to take Ike earlier.)
Yes, it's more of an educational experiment than a thorough cleaning at this point, but I've found it to be very helpful, despite my inner terror over potentially watching my kids freak the hell out. (I'd never thought about gummy vitamins and fruit snacks/leather as not being the best choice for teeth, until our dentist explained it. Huh!) They've each done at least one exam while sitting on my lap…while I restrain their arms and lean their heads into the dentist's lap. Not fun! But it's over in 10 minutes, tops. And then, oh my God, the relief at hearing that their teeth AREN'T rotting out of their heads because I get tired of fighting the brushing battle is SO. WORTH. IT.

Just in case anyone reading this did NOT hit the genetic jackpot, I'm offering commiseration. We have had the same battles with teeth brushing even though we started cleaning my daughters gums with gauze when she was an infant.
Well, at her first dentist appointment 6 cavities were found, and they were bad enough to require caps. *sigh* Well, I had horrible baby teeth and not so great adult teeth, and my mother had horrible teeth, and her mother….At this point we do our best, but thank the stars she will lose these and hopefully we can stay ahead of the cavities when she gets her permanent teeth.

My 2 1/2 year old is not a fan of brusing his teeth or having us brush for him. I just took him for his first visit last week and he did great! He listened to the hygenist and dentist more than he listens to me. I ordered this timer about a month ago and while he may not be brushing that great, at least he is brushing for 2 minutes.
It keeps him interested in brushing, which is better than what he was doing.
Jeannie Mar 30 at 6:52 pm Reply
I just want to second the opinion about the dentist. I had horrible experiences with the dentist as a kid, so I was super stressed about it, and searched for a specialized pediatric dentist … and my kid has been totally fine with it. The dentist is great with kids, the hygienists even more so, and my kid will be super cooperative with them, much moreso than with me. What's more, my kid seems to take the dentist more seriously than me, so now (he's six) will say stuff like "I need to brush my teeth! I don't want cavities!" and not in an "I'm scared" way, just in a matter of fact way.
And also, our toothbrushing battles went WAY down after visiting the dentist too. YMMV, of course. But it's worth a shot!
Meg in VT Mar 30 at 8:43 pm Reply
I agree with the not worrying as long as your kid's teeth are not in a complete sugar bath. Also, a bit of flouride can't hurt — either in your toothpaste, in the water (if you are on town water) or drops or tablets (if you are not). We have well water which we had tested (absolutely none!) so we give our 2.5 year old a flouride tablet nightly. And now they are starting them even earlier — the pediatrician gave us a prescription for vitamins with flouride for our 7 month old (who has no teeth yet, but I guess it helps). So that may be another front on which you can build strong teeth.

I've been taking my boys to the dentist since they were around a year old. Oldest has had two cavities. {Won't relate the semi-horror story of the first filling} But oldest has aaaaaaaaaaaalways been difficult with brushing, and still is off and on until this day {he's almost 6} We tried letting him brush his teeth on his own for about a month and it just was not good, he barely brushed. {Our dentist recommends brushing their teeth up until 7-8 years old, article in magazine said same, basically about the time they would start learning cursive handwriting, something to do with dexterity and being able to hold the toothbrush at the right angle to get in between the gums and teeth} Just started regularly brushing our almost 2 year old's teeth regularly. So far he loves to brush, except he wants to do most of the brushing, but will let me get in some when he is done with it. When we were going through the worst of the brushing trials with the oldest the dentist recommended using "Spiffies"http://www.spiffies.com/ Never really helped with us, but maybe your kiddo would like them. But patience, eventually it will get better.

Oroginal advice asker here: Thank you!! You just brought my stress level about potential cavities down about ten notches. And I'll be searching out a good pediatric dentist for an appointment ASAP (fingers very crossed)!
Trish Mar 31 at 11:12 am Reply
I completely support the idea of a pediatric dentist, emphasis on pediatric. Your regular dentist may be a great person, but not used to dealing with kids or their teeth. The specialization makes a huge difference, both in manner and treatment. My husband and I make a great case study; both of us had major dental issues as kids (cross bites, etc.). I saw a pediatric dentist and pediatric orthodontist and have perfect teeth with minimal and very early treatment to this day. My husband saw an regular dentist, and the mistakes made have resulted in a situation where he would have to have his jaw broken in order to fix his teeth. Fortunately his teeth mesh and he can eat, but he doesn't like to smile with his mouth open.

For my oldest, we had our first dental visit when he killed his front tooth at 4. Yep. His first visit was for a baby root canal. FUN! Despite a fairly tramatic first visit, he has no residual fears of the dentist. The youngest got a full mouth of teeth so stinkin' young (I swear he had them all by 8 months!) we started him at 12 months. My oldest goes back and has the entire cleaning by himself with no problems. My youngest has been 4 times, and only the 3rd visit was done without me. He started out needing me to hold him, and then also needed me the last time (I don't know what that was about). But! He gets the entire cleaning! So far healthy teeth! I can not stress ENOUGH the importance of finding a dentist that is a PEDIATRIC dentist! Ours also happens to be the ONLY dentist on the hospital boards of both local hospitals as well. Not only does this ensure higher standards of safety when it comes to any kind of anesthetic (injected, ingested, or gas) but a much greater understanding of the total unique-edness of a young child's developing mouth. Had I had a better dentist as a child I probably would not have been allowed to suck my thumb until I was 9 (!!), but orthodontic work would have probably taken a much different path, resulting in probably fewer of the jaw and teeth now.
As for brushing, even if you have to pin them down, they most likely are not going to really remember it later. But dental pain, and cavities will have a much longer impact on them.

I also second the recommendation for a pediatric dentist. The one we see is great with our kids. The hygenists think about things that I never would have – she played peek-a-boo with the mask so the kids weren't scared of it, she let them feel the gloves on her hands before touching them with them, etc. They have TVs over the chairs playing cartoons for distraction. And at the first visit, all they did was "count" his teeth. Second they added in cleaning, third flouride treatment, etc. They can help you figure out a routine that works for your kids for dental care.
Susan Miller Mar 31 at 1:55 pm Reply
I started brushing my daughter's teeth nightly about 3 months after they came in. I think it helped that I got a battery powered toothbrush which made it fun and interesting. Also, I have her stand on the bathroom counter (with one arm wrapped around her) and the mirrored medicine cabinet open so she can see her reflection. Toddlers LOVE to watch themselves doing stuff…
And then when I took her to the dentist at 2, he said she needed to FLOSS because her teeth were crowded and he was concerned that brushing alone wouldn't be enough. I freaked out at this suggestion, but in the end she's fine with it. As long as she gets to watch it being done!

Timely, indeed. Our 18-month old daughter still nurses at night and I received a huge lecture from our dentist at my last check that I had better night wean her "or else" and then I checked out as he added some scarey comment involving thousands of dollars in anesthesia. So what gives? We brush her teeth twice a day, she's never had juice, no gummies to eat, but night weaning simply.isn't.going.to.happen until she's ready. Brushing after night feedings is also out of the question as we cosleep and, well, not gonna happen. Our pediatrician rolled her eyes at my dentist's comments and suggested we should continue brushing, night nurse as we are comfortable, and not worry. Has anyone else experienced this night weaning terror lecture from the dentist?
Myriam Apr 02 at 8:52 am Reply
I'd say just change the routine to nurse then brush, then cuddle, then dbded… that works with my 16 months old than weaned at 16 months…
Myriam Apr 02 at 8:53 am Reply
sorry, weaned at 14 months|
Myriam Apr 02 at 9:58 am Reply
Sorry again, I just finished re-reading your comment, and originally missed the part about co-sleeping… I don't know how I missed it in the first place! However, I would say that you could try to switch your routine anyway, so that the brushing haapens after the feeding, and she can suckle after anyway, to soothe herself. That would encourage a good routine for later on anyway, for when she weanes!
Carolina Apr 02 at 3:23 pm Reply
We don't co-sleep, but I'm still nursing a 19 month old. We brush/floss before the night feed, and then I use a xyitlol (sp?) wipe from my dentist to go over her teeth once more when she's in her drousey state. I can do this in the dark now. Seems to work well.

I have two bio kids and one adopted at birth kid, and I can tell you, genetics have a lot to do with cavities. My bio kids had zero cavities until teenagers, and my adopted child had cavities at every single checkup until he was six. As a side note, not just ANY pediatric dentist is a good one. We went to one who visited the schools and gave out cool prizes and sponsored school activities. She was very confident and explained to us that in Very Important Pediatric Dentist School she had learned to never let parents in the back with the kids or they act up. We went to her for years until I found out that in the back there was shock and horror going on, followed by lots of prizes (she gave out AWESOME prizes) right before they came back. Also, if the kids came out sniffling back tears, the hygienist always said they did SO GREAT in the back and just started fussing when they saw me again, which was a LIE. Once I found out, we switched to a truly awesome pediatric dentist who lets me in the back the whole time, every time.
Emily Apr 03 at 3:11 pm Reply
the philosophy is sound.. parents at say.. school fieldtrips make them SO much harder.
but I would never go for a doctor or dentist who didn't allow me to accompany my child. Not that my child would go without me anyways 😛
Myriam Apr 02 at 9:00 am Reply
I have a 16 months old that likes to brush her teeth herself, although it's mostly sucking on the toothbrush!!! So I use an electric toothbrush, not the kiddie version, but a real Oral-B with her own brushing head. So, even if she only allows me access for 30 seconds, at least it's an effective 30 seconds! That toothbrush also made wonder with us and allowed us to reduce our dentist visits from twice a year to once a year (with our dentist approval). Also, my niece, at around 4, did not want us to brush her teeth, so my sister used 2 strategies : she brushed her teeth in the bath (I don't know why it worked, but I did), and she would say "let me spread the toothpaste around (for a good 2 minutes!!!) and then would let my niece "brush" her teeth!
If you're in the Northern Virginia area, you can't do better than Dr. Patel at Ashburn Pediatric Dentistry. Parents are allowed in the examining room. The examining rooms have three kids going at once, so there's peer-pressure to not be the one screaming your head off. Pixar films are going non-stop. Prizes are given out at the end.
And Dr. Patel taught my son (now 10) how to floss his own teeth and explained how important it is, especially since his teeth are very close together (braces in our future!)
Julie W Apr 02 at 2:18 pm Reply
The most interesting thing I learned from our pediatric dentist: Did you know that cavities are contagious? From kissing, sharing food, drinks etc.. you spread the cavity-causing bacteria. So part of your kid's dental hygiene needs to include parental check-ups. Also, if you start flossing their teeth when they are 2 they'll never know differently…just like safety belts and carseats… And then they won't be 40 or so (ahem) before they regularly floss.
Emily Apr 03 at 3:14 pm Reply
yes! I read this while I was pregnant! Once the germs are in their mouth, they're there. That's why you can't just ignore the baby teeth and think you can wait until the adult teeth for proper oral care. The bacteria live on the gums and once you've got them…. they did say also not to use your child's spoon when you're helping them eat – always have your spoon and your child's spoon. I also cannot imagine teaching my daughter flossing.. she's 18 months, so I guess I have a little more time.. but whoa… I hate flossing!
We lost the genetics lottery with our oldest and he had his first cavities filled at three and by six had had four teeth pulled due to abscesses and cavities. The great pediatric dentist we have said some kids just have bad baby teeth.
My youngest has shown no signs of trouble yet. With him, the pediatrician we go to began offering fluoride treatments when he was one and he goes to see the real dentist in June. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that both boys do well.
As for toothbrushing, do what you can and don't make a huge issue about it. At two my youngest wouldn't open his mouth to brush, but by three he asks to brush and lets me finish.
Emily Apr 03 at 3:16 pm Reply
I have had to hold my daughter down 1x so far when she wasn't allowing me to brush. Not brushing just isn't an option here. I don't feel even a little bad about it.
Susan Apr 03 at 3:48 pm Reply
We have a great family dentist practice – it's right in our neighborhood and is so convenient for all of us to go to (DH and I both have terrible teeth so our kids are most likely in for some traumatic future visits)…BUT they don't see kids until they're 3, which seems really late to me. We just took our oldest in and I really though it would be an awful visit, but he did SO well and let the hygienist do everything – count his teeth, polish them with the spinning thing (which I can't stand TO THIS DAY), even floss a little. The only thing he didn't like was the suction tube – but that's okay, because I couldn't pry it away from his 18 mo little brother.
There's a "Learn Along with Sesame Street" cartoon video on iTunes called Healthy Teeth, Healthy Me" that I downloaded to my iPod touch. My 3 yo loves to watch it, and if he refuses to brush I just remind him what Super Ultra Mega Smile Man says… works.every.time.

My "do it myself" 2.5 yrold has also made it difficult for us to brush his teeth. My latest game is we pretend he's a "baby" again and I brush his teeth for him.
Alicia Apr 20 at 10:02 am Reply
We had no problem with tooth-brushing until we did and then in a big way: so many tears and so much drama. New toothbrushes, songs, new toothpaste–nothing worked. Nothing until cat videos on the iphone, that is.
My son (16 months) doesn't watch any TV so a 2-2.5 minute video of a cute cat on you tube is like magic. He sits, he brushes, he lets us brush. Mornings and evenings are so much nicer, and now if you ask him to get ready to brush he teeth he races for the bathroom and sits eagerly waiting.
Some may call it bribery. It probably is. I like to think of it as an incentive

Lucky you. Having a child that hates brushing teeth and trows all the tentrums and you can be super easy about it because they still have super awesome teeth. We just had our first dentist visit at a very nice kids dentist. Which should be all fun and what not. Turns out my daughter already has 4 cavities. Small ones, but they are there. She's not drinking sugary drinks, she ist not eating sweets (exeption, those birthday parties), she's eating all healthy and lots of veggies and so on and so one. She's hypersensitive and screams her lungs out just when we name the word toothbrush. One doctor told me to give it time and don't stress about it and that she needs a healthy relationship to brushing teeth which she will not get if we pin her down to brush her teeth. What a wonderfull advise. Luckily that was just two weeks of mainly only chewing on a toothbrush before we went to a dentist. Wonder what would have happend I would have listen to this stupid advise earlier. I again need to pin her down. Obviously this is not fun. That's not fun for anyone. I just get so annoyed by people suggesting to "forming a positive association with brushing his teeth" or "As for toothbrushing, do what you can and don't make a huge issue about it. At two my youngest wouldn't open his mouth to brush, but by three he asks to brush and lets me finish." So you just leave it? And be ok with a under two year old does have cavities? I don't know people if these suggestions are even remotely ok?

I really liked it when that wah wah wah wah thing came into the song, you fit that in perfectly and transitioned into it really well. I like the weird video game noises you got going on too shortly after that also. I'm not really sure how well this would work on an album, maybe as the opener or closer as it doesn't really have any defined structure, but its a nice fun song.
Critic back please http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/foru...d.php?t=1579620
You should really include genre etc in the main post. I clicked this expecting to hear music....
The intro fireworks are kinda cool - though the intro is a bit long.

Language Barriers
Another apparently unique aspect to my use of language is that I try to avoid absolutes, often to an unnecessary degree. Sometimes I will catch myself framing something in absolute terms and then I will add that what I've said isn't strictly true because of other possibilities. "Yes, I am going to be home for dinner tonight. Well, unless something terrible happens, like I never make it home or our house falls into a sinkhole." Sometimes, I can be a bit ridiculous about this and my family and friends will say things like, "Yes, we know. Can we move on?" In avoiding absolutes, I often think in terms of possibility, as in, "This is what I am expecting or believe happened or believe is happening and has the highest probability, but I can't know for sure, yet." I don't want to commit myself to something I am not sure about. I don't want to commit to something that will contradict someone else, implying that they have lied, when I am not sure about it. I don't want to have lied about something because what I expected was not what happened. I spend a lot of time with the subjunctive mood.
When I was in the partial hospital program in February, I mostly talked like my normal self (I did adapt for some of the adolescents, as it was often a mix of adolescents and adults). I figure that the adults and staff could act like adults by telling me that they don't understand me or asking me to define words or whatever they need. I didn't think this explicitly before I went to the program, but it is my general approach to interacting with most adults. When I had the atrocious staffing where I was reprimanded for not going grocery shopping, I realized that the staff weren't understanding me in a basic way. They were not listening to the words I said. When I said, "I am thinking about going grocery shopping," they heard a commitment to grocery shopping. I don't know if they were inserting unwarranted assumptions, or only listening to the gist of what I said and missing the nuance, or something else entirely. I was communicating carefully, choosing the words that would convey the message I intended; they were not listening to my words nearly as carefully. I wondered if I needed to give them a lesson on the subjunctive mood.
I was in the partial hospital program for three weeks. In the last week, during one group, I said that I wouldn't know what to choose as my ideal body size, because I really didn't want to have a physical body at all and mentioned that I think of people as abstract entities of their non-physical characteristics. People were confused as to what I meant by that, so I explained. In the ensuing discussion, I learned that many other patients often understood very little of what I said because of the words I used. I had defined words for people a few times, when they asked (and only other patients asked), but didn't realize how much people weren't understanding. In this discussion, the staff members seemed to agree with the general consensus that I use too many "big" words. I don't know for sure that any staff members needed any of my words defined, but no staff members had asked for definitions, and since so many other people weren't understanding my words, I began to suspect the staff weren't understanding my words much better.
I'm willing to give other patients a pass on not bothering to ask me for clarification so that they could understand me. Their job being in the hospital program was primarily to get better themselves. However, I am not willing to give the staff the same pass, because part of their job is to understand me. It seems they didn't understand my use of the subjunctive mood and avoidance of absolutes and that they probably didn't understand all of the words I used. While I often tried to clarify with them my understanding of what they were saying, I don't remember them asking me for clarification much, even though there were many misunderstandings. When I knew I had been misunderstood and wanted to clear things up, I sometimes managed to get them to let me clarify for them, but I often did not. I doubt that is good practice for a mental health care professional.

You are definitely right - if the staff didn't understand what you were saying, then it was their responsibility to ask you to repeat it using simpler language or if it was just one specific word they didn't know, then to ask what that meant. I am sure the reason they didn't, was because it would have made them feel inferior in some way - for not being as intelligent or having as a wide a vocabulary as you. I often find within the mental health system that you are expected to be less intelligent than the professionals you are working with, as someone intelligent couldn't possibly think in the irrational way that mental health problems often lead you to think in, which is obviously bollocks. I have been told numerous times that I am a very intelligent girl, or something along those lines, by professionals, and although in some cases it has been intended as a compliment, sometimes it has almost seemed like an accusation - you are intelligent, you must know this is crap, you must be able to make yourself think differently etc. I think it all related to the us and them division that often exists - professionals just aren't sure what to do with patients who are more intelligent than them, and would never admit to not understanding a word a patient used. Obviously this doesn't apply to all professionals - just the more insecure ones, who may well be less intelligent. I find they often like to patronise me by asking me if I know what a word means - usually a pretty basic, every day word. I feel like screaming at them that I have mental health problems, not IQ problems.ReplyDelete
I never think of my vocabulary as particularly impressive - there are lots of people who use a far wider vocabulary than I do, but I am always suprised by how often people (in every day life, rather than MH settings) ask me what words, that I consider really fairly simple, mean. Most people seem uncomfortable with any words of more than 2 or 3 syllables. Even people who are very intelligent often have really atrocious vocabularies.
'Sometimes I will catch myself framing something in absolute terms and then I will add that what I've said isn't strictly true because of other possibilities. "Yes, I am going to be home for dinner tonight. Well, unless something terrible happens, like I never make it home or our house falls into a sinkhole."'
I liked that - it made me laugh. I think that should be put in the dictionary as a definition for pedantic!
I completely agree. It is a very interesting phenomenon. There seems to be a mindset, not just a lack of vocabulary or an inability to parse, that prevents some people (including some mental health professionals) from hearing what is really being said, or from wanting to hear. I wonder if 'prevents' is the right word. Perhaps it protects them from hearing.ReplyDelete
There's more on this today from Zoe, by the way.
I do often think that it has to do with the professionals expecting that they will be smarter than all their patients. I hesitate to attribute it all to that, though. I try to be diplomatic. I try to say, "here is the problem," make no assumptions as to what causes the problem, and let the professionals tell me why the problem is happening. But it is hard. I have looked for, and not found, any research studies that look into therapy outcomes as related to the intelligence relationship between patient and professional. Do patients do better when the professional is smarter than they are? When they are equally intelligent? When the patient is more intelligent? Obviously, I have my suspicions.
What I talked about in my post is experience from an ED treatment unit. I have been in general psych hospital units and they have been far worse in this regard, treating everyone like they are mentally retarded. Then wondering why I leave during a rousing game of "let's collectively do this third-grade level crossword puzzle." In both places, I have been told by the staff that I am very intelligent, that I have a broad vocabulary. But they seem able to use that information only to compliment me, not to inform the way they interact with me.
More on pedantry later!
Oh yes. I definitely think there is more to the barrier between patients and staff than this language barrier. There are probably a lot of patients who don't have this kind of language barrier with the staff at all. Ugh. I want to grab them by the shoulders, shake them, and scream, "What the hell is the problem here!" I write about it and I talk to them about it, and I feel like I haven't really gotten anywhere.
I think that usually, they just consider it their job to shut you up-- especially if you dare to mention something that they don't know more about than you do. Why bother to understand you when they can browbeat you?ReplyDelete
I'm sorry, reading your blog is getting me absolutely furious. That's furious for you, not *at* you, but it's still making me want to harm someone. Preferably a hypocritical therapist. Or a hornworm-- harming hornworms is certainly more socially acceptable. But much grosser and not as satisfying. Your experiences are eerily reminiscent of my own.
(And you know what else I hate? When my spellchecker protests something that is correct. Like hornworm. Why does my spellchecker think that there's a such thing as a "horn worm" and a "horn-worm," failing to realize that it's "hornworm"?! Oh yea, because it's a computer and doesn't think. A bit like those therapists..)
Thanks, Maggie. I thoroughly appreciate knowing I'm not alone in this frustration, though I am sorry that you've had to deal with this.ReplyDelete

EU shadow economy rate exceeds Azerbaijan's indices
Baku, Fineko/abc.az. The level of shadow economy in separate countries of the European Union exceeds similar estimates for the developing economy of Azerbaijan.
Yesterday new Prime Minister of Italy, Mario Monti, claimed that currently 20% of Italy's GDP accounts for the shadow economy.
"The new government will develop a package of measures on withdrawal of the economy from the shadow economy," Monti said.
In addition, the Monti governments program envisages reforming of social sector (first of all, in the matter of payment of benefits and subsidies), the labor market in Italy (unification of the system of labor contracts with support of trade unions), and a number of tax reforms (including the issue of property tax structure and tougher measures against evaders of taxes).
The State Statistics Committee of Azerbaijan reports that the informal economy is at the level of 18% of GDP. To overcome this situation, the Azerbaijani government initiated a program of certification of taxpayers and simplified to the maximum extent the registration of individual entrepreneurs and businesses.

DRIFTWOOD OUTDOORS: Plenty to be thankful for
It has been a great year for people who love the outdoors
Sunday, November 25, 2012
As my family gathered around the table to break bread for Thanksgiving dinner, the first thing that struck me was how empty the room felt. Ten years ago there were twice as many people. Both of my grandfathers and a cousin, who left us way too soon, have passed away. Another cousin has moved south and started his own family, drawing my aunt and uncle to their distant table. Another uncle was lost to divorce. Yes, my family has experienced our fair share of loss.
Focusing on the negative is no way to spend Thanksgiving. So after letting those thoughts pass, I forced myself to refocus on positives from 2012 and thought I'd share with you a few things I am thankful for:

The Belize Resort: other than the rocky road in, Chaa Creek's location is incredible. Set in the mountains, you are surrounded by well-kept grounds, jungle, and wildlife. Iguanas, howler monkeys, and birds of all kinds roam the grounds and woods. They offer 365 acres of well marked trails that can be guided or explored on your own. They also have a bike shop (guided or unguided) and canoes to take into town or just leisurely paddle down the river. Breakfast and lunch offer a variety of well-priced and great tasting food. Dinner, however is different. The food tastes great and is much of it is freshly picked from their farm. The dining, although you may dress casual, is very fancy and the staff makes sure everything is perfect. Every dinner is a four course meal comprised of soup, salad, main dish, and dessert, though you can decline some portions. While the food is outstanding, dinner is very limited. There is only one type of salad, one type of soup, and 3 main courses (one of which is vegetarian), which change every night. If you are a picky eater, beware. The rooms are spacious and the shower is huge, but rooms are NOT air-conditioned, so it can be hot and humid. They have fans which worked well and nights are a lot more comfortable so most of our nights were fairly relaxing.
They recently added an infinity pool which overlooks part of the resort and it is a great addition. They also have a business center offering wifi and 2 computers. The staff is very friendly and are very helpful.
Inland Belize Tours: the service for tours was unbelievable. They offer a wide variety of tours and are extremely accommodating with them. Unlike some resorts (ie Hamanasi), if you want to do something, they will make it happen regardless of how many people want to go. They will also tailor your trips however you like (unless it is through another place like Caves Branch for example). They try to pair you with the same driver/guide which was a nice touch.
The guides: not only are they extremely friendly, they have a passion for nature and adventure and will make sure you see and experience the best possible trip. Many of the guides are birding experts and spotted dozens of different species. The guides for the ruins seem to know every single fact about the sites and history so you will learn a lot. What was also nice was how they were not just like a guide the whole time; they will have everyday conversations about anything and are genuinely social people, not an act to please the guests. When they see you around the resort they will stop to have a chat with you and ask about what other animals you have encountered.
Overall, Chaa Creek was a incredible visit. The rooms, resort, tour offerings, onsite offerings, and staff were absolutely perfect and I recommend it to anybody and everybody. I plan to stay here again on my next visit to Belize, and like many of the guests, would recommend this place for honeymooners. I also highly recommend taking a trip to Tikal (also do the zipline), Caves Branch, and doing the horseback trails, birding, and night walk on this Belize resort. Get to know the guides, and don't be afraid to make requests as they really want you to enjoy what they love so much. Chaa Creek is a bit pricey but it is because of their superior service!

text: (Vatican Radio) Each year, Africa Day provides an opportunity to acknowledge the achievements of the peoples and governments of Africa.Celebrated on May 25, Africa Day marks the founding in 1963 of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), presently recognized as the African Union (AU).The Union, comprised of 53 member states, has brought together the continent of Africa to collectively address the challenges it has faced, such as armed conflict, climate change, and poverty.The observance also reaffirms the support of the United Nations to African nations for their efforts to build a better future. It's a terrific occasion to shine the light on all things African, but that of course, is an impossible feat. In fact, quoting from veteran journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski's book "The Shadow of the Sun" in which he speaks of his travels and life in the African Continent: "The continent is too large to describe. It is a veritable ocean, a separate planet, a varied, immensely rich cosmos. Only with the greatest simplification, for the sake of convenience, can we say "Africa". In reality, except as a geographical appellation. Africa does not exist".So, let's say it's an occasion to shine the light on – at least – an aspect, an issue or a geographical area. One African area which is hardly ever in the limelight is the Sahel, the semiarid region South of the Sahara Desert. It stretches between the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea covering part of Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Algeria, Niger, Chad, Sudan, South Sudan and Eritrea.Over-farming, over-grazing, and over-population of marginal lands and natural soil erosion have caused serious desertification of the region. Since the 1960s it has been afflicted by prolonged periods of extensive drought.Humanitarian emergencies in Sahel due to climatic events and to political unrest have been so serious in recent years that the British government has a Special Envoy to the area as part of a Commonwealth programme to safeguard and promote stability, security and development in the region.Vatican Radio's Linda Bordoni spoke to the UK Special Envoy to the Sahel, the Right Honorable Stephen O' Brien MP, about his mission and about the current situation… Listen to the interview… The Rt. Hon. Stephen O'Brien explains that the Sahel is a large region of extremely marginal land, just South of the Sahara Desert. It effectively encompasses about 9 countries and about 100 million people. He says that about between 10 and 20 million of them every year are under extremely severe food crisis and shortage. He says that "the number of cases of severe and moderate malnutrition is "eye-wateringly" terrifying". The people often go from crisis to crisis. And O'Brien points out: "it's not just water shortage of the lack of grazing land for their animals. It's the huge population explosion in these countries in areas of land which are increasingly becoming desertified, both due to the over-exploitation and to some climate change effect". This is also in area – he says – to which the international community pays very little attention. An area in which there have been some terrible conflicts "as well as some extremely big governance challenges which have led to many people being marginalized and excluded".O'Brien points out that the Sahel is generally neglected "even when taking into account the recent threat to the region's stability in Northern Mali which saw the intervention of the French, in particular, but also of the international community which responded to the Malian Transitional Government and Army's request to support them in repelling the terrorist attacks and the attempt to take over the country". Whilst the military intervention has - at this time - been successful, O'Brien concludes, "the big challenge, the much bigger context to recognize – is development support". That, he explains, is both stabilization but also resilience, which has to do with access to food, to water, to services. And what is important, he continues, is also "just feeling engaged. So many people feel marginalized from their nation's affairs", so it is essential to give them a sense of shared ownership and engagement with their own country. O'Brien says that at a moment in which there is greater international focus, "there are grounds for much greater confidence that we can find a strategic way forward that is going to help the people of this area, not just be under such enormous pressure for nourishment, but to build a much more stable area with greater capacity and trust in their governments" That, he says, is what will give them greater resilience, and over time the chance to build their economies which is the best way to tackle poverty.O'Brien says that any amount of donor money, of mobilization, of grant aid, however huge and important it may be at the time, "there is no better antidote to poverty than economic growth and giving people the chance to grow economically through private sector development rather than the sort-of "hand-out culture" of the past". O'Brien observes that the Sahel area, just as many others in developing countries, receives press coverage and attention when something terrible happens – like the recent political upheaval in Mali – but in fact it should not be neglected. And this – he says – "is part of my job as well as being a signal from the British Prime Minister that, in an area where we haven't necessarily had a lot of interest or focus, the fact that he has chosen to appoint his own special envoy to an area where it straddles so many of the traditional boundaries gives us the opportunity to bring it together in a strategic way that makes it possible to look at the region as a whole, to identify the sources of instability and vulnerability for people and their governing classes, and to try and find the methods by which the international community can be most supportive in helping stability". Therefore it's not just a matter of strengthening security for all the people in the area, but also giving them economic opportunities as well as their protection in health and education.

April 28, 2016
Police arrested a stolen car suspect after the driver led officers from five agencies on a 25-mile chase in North Carolina.
The News & Record of Greensboro reported Friday that the chase started Thursday in Greensboro when an officer saw a pickup truck with no license plate. A pickup matching its description had been reported stolen.
Highway Patrol Trooper C.D. Knox says the officer tried to stop the truck, but the driver sped away and headed out of Greensboro and Guilford County into Randolph County.
Officers punctured two of the truck's tires at Randleman but it kept going into Asheboro where it crashed and the driver ran before
officers caught him.

What's for Breakfast?1
Good morning! Awake yet? Hungry? Ready for some stir fried noodles? How about some blackened cow's blood? Some fried, mushed up pig's ears?
Mmm, mmm, mmmm…..
I've noticed that, when I am traveling, breakfast is often the most difficult meal for me to compromise—it's early, I'm tired, I may or may not be hungover, and I just want a bowl of Cheerios and a skinny cappuccino to go (yes, to go!). The morning is not the best time for me to be testing my gastronomical limits…..
I find that it's easier to psych myself up for an exotic, adventurous dinner—or even a crazy lunch—but there's something sacred about breakfast foods and morning rituals.
Just think about it—we all like our AM dosages of caffeine to be prepared in certain ways, whether small and concentrated, medium and diluted, or large and in charge with 3 added flavors, Starbucks style.
Take a New Yorker out of his or her nest, and you will be hearing about H & H bagels for weeks.
Go on a coffee date with an Aussie, and you'll doubtlessly depart well-versed in the delightful nuances of 'flat whites' and Gloria Jean's hazelnut lattes.
How do you start your day? One man's commonplace routine can be another's most memorable adventure (or worst stomach ache). I've surveyed some colleagues and friends, and here are some of the interesting breakfast destinations (Breakinations?) that we came up with……
1. Anchovies, anyone?
Forget your Frosted Flakes …how about a fresh bowl of sweet rice…topped with anchovies?
If you're craving new and exciting cultural and culinary experiences, take a jaunt down to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and kick off your travel adventure by stopping at a roadside stall to delight in the country's most popular breakfast dish: nasi lemak. The sweet, coconut creamy rice base is typically served with eggs, pickled vegetables, cucumbers, roasted peanuts, spicy sauce, and, of course, anchovies!
2. It's spicy, it's sweet, it's deep fried…it's Delhi!
If you're hungry for more adventure, skip over to Delhi, India to sample one of their most popular mid-morning snacks: kachori with aloo dum.
One of my colleagues, originally from Delhi, describes this as one of his favourite breakfast dishes. Basically, a kachori is a deep fried, hollow bread made of wheat and lentils. Kachoris can be filled with various different meat and vegetarian ingredients; in this case, they are stuffed with spicy potato concoction and typically followed by an orange, spiderweb-shaped sweet called a jalebi.
4. Health nuts to Sydney.
Are you turned off by all of the fried, spicy, sweet aforementioned craziness?
Then I suggest going Down Under for some healthy, beachside cooking….
Start of your Australian beach holiday with a traditional Sydney breakfast: smoked Tasmanian salmon on sourdough bread, served with spinach, poached eggs, OJ, a shot of wheat grass, and, of course, a skinny 'flat white' (glorified term for a latte). You will be feeling fit in no time!
Heading back home…
Right, so, exotic destinations aside, I can't get over the English tradition of black pudding, which tends to accompany the full English breakfast (of toast, jam, marmite, fried eggs, sausages, bacon, baked beans, tomatoes, and mushrooms…). It's fried blood, for crying out loud! Who thought that one up? Weird (but actually…not so bad.)
And to finish on a note which is close to my home and heart, I present to you an American delicacy that most of the world has never heard of: SCRAPPLE.
A patty of finely chopped pork scraps and cornmeal, typically fried and served in a breakfast sandwich. Scrapple is unique to the US Mid Atlantic region (Delaware, Maryland parts of Pennsylvania).
Here, folks, is a segment of the typical ingredient list for this breakfast dish with a cult-like following:
Pig tongue, skin, brains, eyes, ears, head, heart, and liver.
(The hog entrails du jour will vary from patty to patty…)

Missouri man gets life sentence for fatal DUI
Sunday, November 21, 2010
LIBERTY, Mo. (AP) — A 30-year-old Lawson man has been sentenced to life in prison for his conviction in a drunk driving accident in western Missouri that killed a 60-year-old woman.
Lucas Bates was sentenced Friday in Clay County court to life plus 14 years. He pleaded guilty earlier to second-degree murder, two counts of second-degree assault and flight to avoid arrest.
The charges stem from a March 2009 crash when Bates was driving drunk and caused a crash that killed Shirley Harless.
The Kansas City Star reported that Bates had a prior felony drug conviction. He apologized to victim's family at the sentencing and said he had battled a lifelong addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Circuit Judge Shane Alexander said Bates had opportunities to get treatment for his addictions but didn't take advantage of them.

I'm offended on two levels. No, not because of that stereotypical Irish drunken fighter that Notre Dame likes to tout. We Irish are not weak crybabies like some ethnic groups, plus we have a sense of humor about life. Yes, that's right. I'm one-quarter Irish. I'm mostly German, but Grandma Englehart was a Stevens. I like to say, "I want to rule the world, but let's have a drink first."
I'm offended as a UConn football fan and as a Connecticut taxpayer. We taxpayers built and paid for "The Rent." The UConn athletic department claims it will help recruiting if they play Notre Dame in some other state. If you UConn football jocks want to help recruiting, win more football games.
Oh, and here's another radical idea. Win more bowl games. We could be the "boutique" stadium in college football. Beat UConn and you know you've arrived. People will say, "It's only 40,000 capacity, but it's very intense. I especially like it when the crowd chants 'Bull*%#, Bull*%#, Bull*%#' after a bad call.
As we get more TV time, we can add on to the stadium. There's plenty of room for more seats. When our reputation gets big enough, Notre Dame will beg us to play here.
I'll tell you what we need more than a series with Notre Dame -- an updated mascot costume. That man-dog outfit that we have now is soooo played. It looks like a refugee from the 1940s. There are any number of mascot designers who could vastly improve that uninspiring thing we have now.
Look at the Philly Fanatic, look at Rocky of the New Britain Rock Cats, look at almost any mascot in America. Poor old Jonathan doesn't stand up to the competition. I came to that conclusion after drawing him for today's cartoon. I almost fell asleep. I don't mean to insult the person who designed it back in World War I, but come on, UConn. At least come into the 21st century. Jonathan looks like something you'd see on "Antiques Roadshow."

In today's health matters, a new study says doctors' offices linked to pharmacies electronically improves the number of patients who follow doctor's orders on medications for chronic illnesses.
The research included more than 12,00 men and women who were given new prescriptions for diabetes, blood pressure or cholesterol medications over a period of 18 months.
All of the patients were clients at the same place, where the pharmacy and doctor's offices are all part of the same system and are linked using electronic medical records.
Medication orders are sent electronically, rather than using traditional paper scripts.
Previous research has found that up to 22 percent of patients in healthcare systems not integrated with pharmacies fail to fill new prescriptions.

John Beck has found plenty of friends on the roster of the Baltimore Ravens. Now it's all about proving to them he can answer the call to quarterback the team if his number gets called.
And then there's that other deal — small but important to players — his No. 12.
Beck searched out, found and obtained his high school and college jersey number in short order after getting to town. He bought it from a receiver, Ernie Wheelwright, who wasn't as emotionally attached to the number. As usual in these jersey number squabbles, Beck forked over some money to the guy.
"It cost me, but it wasn't that much," he said.
A second-round pick by the Dolphins in 2007, Beck had to settle for No. 9 on his jersey. No. 12 belonged to the hallowed Bob Griese and nobody's putting that one on again.
Today, Beck is spending the weekend with his wife Barbara and two kids in Miami, a short break from the Raven football camps, which will resume this week at the Raven training facility. He's been flying to Florida every weekend.
Beck's task is to challenge starter Joe Flacco and backup Troy Smith. He's trading time with Smith in drills, which have only a two-deep.
There are other QBs in NFL history that got off to slow starts like Beck did as a rookie with the Dolphins (see graphic).
Flacco is clearly in command and the Ravens, observers say, are becoming "galvanized" behind his success as a rookie out of Delaware last season.
In a passing drill open to the public last Tuesday, Beck threw a pick to linebacker Tavares Gooden but he later impressed observers with several darts including a 5-yard TD pass to Kelly Washington in which he perfectly split two defenders with the throw.
Beck likes Flacco and Smith. "They are easy guys to get along with. I knew Troy from the NFL combine and we did a rookie tour in Los Angeles. Also, he was a teammate (at Ohio State) with Ted Ginn who was with me at Miami."
The best part of going to the Ravens is his familiarity with offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, who was instrumental in drafting him as the head coach of the Dolphins three years ago.
"It was nice to step in and call plays with some comfort. I knew his system and it wasn't like I was a rookie coming in. I knew the route progressions. There were some differences, but some were the same."
The tough part, said Beck, is undoing the reflexes and natural instincts schooled and drilled into him by a different regime in Miami this past year.
That may seem trivial to some, but for Beck, who is a gym rat, he wants to get it all down pat as soon as possible. This is the third offensive system he's faced in three years and the inability to have continuity and consistency bugs him. He's had no back-to-back situations.
"I'm having to kick out all my habits and instincts and replace them with new ones. I just had the old ones drilled in and now it's all changed. It's frustrating."
He's talking about learning blocking jobs by linemen and backs, different play action, different hot routes, different ways he's supposed to use footwork in his drop and pivot, route progressions and pass protection schemes.
"It's just one of those tough things. Once you get in a rhythm you are told you can't do that, do this."
Beck recognizes he faces a big learning curve, that's why he crams every spare minute into study. His day begins at 7 a.m., and doesn't end until 7 p.m., when he leaves the facility.
"I have time to grab some dinner, maybe watch 'American Idol,' and then read some more before going asleep."

Older generation "becoming more adventurous" on holiday0
Older people are becoming more adventurous in their choice of holiday, an industry insider has claimed.
Elder members of society are increasingly likely venture further outside Europe than before, including destinations such as Austrialia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Derek Moore, chairman of the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO), said: "The older generation are travelling more. Their kids have grown up and are much more self-sufficient these days so they are able to have a look at a bit more disposable income.
"I think with the older generation, when they were growing up a holiday was looked upon as being once a year, a treat."
He added that other destination such as the USA and south-east Asia "are always going to be popular spots" as well as countries in north Africa, for example.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics show that UK residents" visits abroad remained roughly the same at 17.8 million from 2007 to 2008, with their expenditure while abroad increasing by four per cent to £9.4 billion.
Seniors – Historic Tours – From the Roman Empire to the second world war, these tours bring world history to life.

Gait no longer in the running for Maryland vacancy
When Dick Edell stepped down as head coach after the 2001 season, a good number of Maryland alumni lobbied athletic director Debbie Yow to hire Gary Gait, the former Syracuse All-American attackman and assistant coach for the women's lacrosse team.
The disappointment was palpable when Yow went with former Loyola coach Dave Cottle.
That emotion repeated itself Thursday when Gait took his name out of the running for the current Terps head coaching vacancy.
According to a press release distributed by Syracuse where Gait is the head coach of the women's lacrosse team, Gait told Maryland's search committee that he will remain with the Orange.
"I bleed Orange," Gait said in the release. "Syracuse is the right place for me and my family. There's no better place to be, especially with the support we receive from Chancellor Nancy Cantor and [athletic director] Dr. Daryl Gross. I look forward to continuing to build the Syracuse women's lacrosse program and take it to a national championship. I appreciate being considered for the Maryland position. The alumni have been very supportive."
In three seasons at Syracuse, Gait has guided the program to a 47-15 record, two Final Four berths in three NCAA Tournament appearances, two Big East regular-season titles and one Big East Tournament crown.
Gait, who helped the Orange capture NCAA championships in 1988, 1989 and 1990, was considered by some to be the leading candidate to replace Cottle. Cottle – who compiled a 99-45 mark in nine seasons with the Terps, guided the team to eight straight NCAA Tournament appearances, and posted seven consecutive years of 10 wins or better – was scheduled to interview for the Penn State vacancy on either Tuesday or Wednesday.
