Should Know & Do Before They Die

Salute Tom Vandergriff Whenever Possible
Any list that documents, celebrates, or otherwise pays homage to the history of the Texas Rangers would be woefully incomplete and erroneously deficient without Tommy Joe Vandergriff's name on top of it.
The Rangers would have never relocated from Washington, D.C., and settled in Arlington without Vandergriff's tireless efforts. For that matter, Arlington wouldn't be Arlington — at least not as it is known today — without the leadership and vision of Vandergriff, who died December 30, 2010, at the age of 84.
Vandergriff not only brought big-time baseball to North Texas; he also played major roles in attracting Six Flags Over Texas and a General Motors assembly plant to the city, where he served as mayor for 26 years. His name is synonymous with Arlington's development as a major sports market and with its expansion as one of the 50 most populous cities in the country.
Saluting his statue in Vandergriff Plaza at Globe Life Park in Arlington and telling your children all about this legendary man is practically a duty for all Rangers' fans. Tom's grandfather, a blacksmith named J.T. Vandergriff, first entered the auto industry in 1912 by repairing "horseless carriages." And it was Tom's father, W.T. (Hooker) Vandergriff, who first opened his Chevrolet dealership on the corner of Division and Center Streets in Arlington in 1937 and later added a Buick dealership in town.
Dutifully, Tom Vandergriff returned to Arlington after earning his bachelor's degree at the University of Southern California in 1947 and working in radio in Chicago and Southern California. He briefly worked in his father's dealerships in the late 1940s. But automotive sales never drove Tom. He had bigger visions in mind.
In 1950, for example, he received a tip that General Motors was looking to build a new assembly plant in the middle of the country. But he didn't think GM would take a phone call from the 24-year-old president of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. He then decided to run for mayor in 1951 ... and won. At the time of his election, Arlington had a population of less than 8,000, but a record number of voters (999) cast their ballots for Vandergriff.
Shortly thereafter, General Motors took a phone call from Mayor Vandergriff. He then secured an agreement for the state to build a road, now State Highway 360, to lead to the new assembly plant. The $33 million facility opened in 1953.
Successes like that one, along with the $6 million bond issue he pushed through to form Lake Arlington in 1957, raised Vandergriff's confidence to pursue a personal passion: luring big-league baseball to town.
On October 7, 1959, Arlington voters approved a $9.5 million bond issue to build a stadium, and construction on the original 10,000-seat Turnpike Stadium began in September 1964. But the major league vision was still a long way from coming to fruition. Numerous roadblocks were constantly thrown in Vandergriff's path in the 13 years he actively pursued a team.
Vandergriff was once tossed from a cab because the driver in Washington, D.C., learned who he was and that he intended to meet with Senators majority owner Bob Short to discuss relocation to Texas. Judge Roy Hofheinz, owner of the Houston Astros, also attempted to block the move of a second team to Texas. Even President Richard Nixon once tried to stop the move.
While Vandergriff visited with Short in Washington, D.C., Nixon allegedly sent his son-in-law to Short's offices to encourage the Senators' owner to stay in the nation's capital. During the brief meeting between Short and Nixon's son-in-law, Vandergriff hid in an office closet.
Persistence paid off when, on September 20, 1971, Short received approval from American League owners to move the franchise from Washington, D.C., to Arlington for the 1972 season.
"Simply put, he may have been the greatest man I've ever known," former Fort Worth Star-Telegram columnist Jim Reeves wrote on ESPNDallas.com on the day Vandergriff died. "Without Vandergriff, it's hard to conceive what Arlington would be today. There would no General Motors or Six Flags. The Texas Rangers would never have left the nation's capital for a little-known 'hyphen' between Dallas and Fort Worth. And without the Rangers, it's pretty safe to say that the Dallas Cowboys wouldn't have given the city a second glance. Vandergriff made it all happen, sometimes seemingly almost single-handedly.
"He lived long enough to see his beloved Rangers clinch a World Series berth against the hated New York Yankees, and those who saw him there — he watched every home game of the ALDS and American League Championship Series from the city of Arlington's suite at The Ballpark — say the smile never left his face."
Fittingly, the Rangers presented the first American League championship rings in franchise history to the Vandergriff family on March 31, 2011, at the welcome home luncheon — two days before the Texas players, coaches, and support staff received their rings. The Rangers also honored Vandergriff throughout the 2011 season with his picture prominently displayed on the outfield wall in left field.CHAPTER 2
Bringing Nolan Ryan (the Player) to Arlington
In American history, December 7 is a day that will live in infamy. In Texas Rangers history, it's commemorated far more joyfully.
Exactly 47 years after the Japanese sent shockwaves around the globe by bombing Pearl Harbor — the event that triggered the United States' official involvement in World War II — the Rangers dropped a bombshell of their own in an effort to finally join the World Series foray. On December 7, 1988, the Rangers announced the free-agent signing of pitcher and native Texan Nolan Ryan. The headlines from that announcement didn't jolt the globe, but they rocked the baseball world.
Because of the continuing impact Ryan had on the organization as a player, fan attraction, president, and CEO, that December day in '88 could be considered one of the most momentous in Rangers history.
"Huge," said Tom Grieve, the Rangers' general manager when Ryan signed with Texas. "Nolan brought credibility to our franchise. With Nolan Ryan in a Rangers uniform, the Rangers had arrived as a respected major league franchise. It boosted our exposure in Texas and across the country. The five years he spent as a player for us were invaluable."
While Ryan may have been the most important personnel acquisition in Rangers history, the signing of the strikeout king came as at least somewhat of a surprise nationally because no one initially expected him to leave the Houston Astros, where he'd spent nine exceptional years and was particularly close to his family's hometown in Alvin.
But in what was probably the most regrettable decision in his career as the owner of the Astros, the late John McMullen decided that, at 41, Ryan was too old to earn the millions it would take to re-sign him. Astros fans were livid; Rangers officials leapt into action.
The Rangers weren't necessarily desperate for frontline pitching. Although Texas endured a dreadful '88 season, it was not the pitching staff's fault. Texas' 1988 pitching staff allowed the fewest hits in the American League. But the offense was as stagnant as the Rangers' annual payroll — at $6.5 million, one of the lowest in the majors.
In the fall of '88, Grieve and team president Mike Stone developed plans to upgrade the team's talent and then appealed to majority owner Eddie Chiles and Texas' chief minority owner, Edward Gaylord, for a $4 million increase in the payroll to $10.5 million.
Chiles, who'd owned the Rangers since 1980 and had been looking to sell them, agreed. "If that's what you need, you got it," Chiles said.
Grieve first made a couple of major trades at the winter meetings in Atlanta, bringing Rafael Palmeiro, who finished second in the National League in hitting (.307) in 1988, and starting pitcher Jamie Moyer from the Cubs. He then dealt with the Cleveland Indians for second baseman Julio Franco, a .309 hitter over the previous three seasons.
Those two trades made the Rangers better. But when it also became clear that Ryan was available, Grieve went for the biggest move. At least four other teams were also interested in signing Ryan, including the Angels, where he'd starred from 1972 to 1979.
Grieve says 40 percent of the additional budget went toward signing Ryan to a guaranteed $2 million contract for the 1989 season — with an option for an additional year. That instantly made him the highest-paid player in franchise history, and he was worth every penny.
Ryan was an ideal complement to the Rangers' young starters — Bobby Witt, 25, and Kevin Brown, 24, and Moyer, 26. He was also an intriguing contrast to knuckleballer Charlie Hough. Thanks primarily to Ryan, attendance jumped from 1,885,166 in 1988 to 2,101,700 the following year. It was the first time in club history the team drew more than 2 million fans.
"When we signed Nolan Ryan, people said, 'The Rangers are making a public relations statement, they're just trying to sell tickets,'" Grieve told T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com years later. "The reality of the situation is that John Young, our major league scout, said Nolan Ryan was one of the five best pitchers in the National League and could be one of the five best pitchers in the American League. Young said, 'Sign him, put him in the rotation, and we'll be a better team.' That came true, given the way he pitched that first year."
Ryan was 16–10 with a 3.20 ERA in 1989, setting a Rangers record with 301 strikeouts and taking no-hitters into the ninth inning twice.
During his five years with the Rangers, Ryan threw two no-hitters, won his 300 game, and struck out his 5,000 batter. By 1993, Ryan's last year, the Rangers drew slightly more than 2.4 million fans. Undoubtedly, Ryan's five-year tenure in Arlington was a significant factor in the Rangers being able to generate enough public funding for the new Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
And it wasn't just the Rangers and their fans that benefited from having Ryan in Arlington. He thoroughly enjoyed his tenure with Texas. Even though he spent only five of his 27 total major league seasons with Texas, Ryan wore a Rangers hat into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.
"Those five years I spent with the Rangers were probably the most enjoyable of my career because of the way the fans embraced my family and I," Ryan said. "They really made us welcome."
Rangers on the Cover ofSports Illustrated
Throughout their history, the Rangers have rarely been considered newsworthy on a national level. As such, the franchise (dating back to the first year in Washington) had been featured on the cover of the nation's most popular sports-related magazine, Sports Illustrated, only nine times in its first 51 years (1961–2011).
In comparison, Michael Jordan had appeared on 60 Sports Illustrated covers by 2011, while the Dallas Cowboys had made it onto the SI cover 68 times (including regional editions) by the start of 2011 football training camps.
Hopefully, the Rangers are on track to becoming more of a national name under the direction of an ownership team fronted by the legendary Nolan Ryan. That alone should help the Rangers land on the cover of SI more frequently in the years ahead, as Ryan already leads the franchise in cover appearances.
Ryan first appeared on the cover of the magazine in a Rangers uniform on the May 1, 1989, edition, accompanying a headline that read: "TEXAS HEAT: The Amazing Nolan Ryan Leads the Red-Hot Rangers."
Ryan was again the cover feature on the April 15, 1991, baseball edition. The headline: "MIRACLE MAN: Ageless Nolan Ryan Launches His 25 Season." Less than a month later, Ryan was again on the cover, although Roger Clemens was the main feature. But in the top corner of the May 13 edition was a small picture of Ryan next to this headline: "UNHITTABLE: Nolan Ryan's Magnificent Seventh."
Technically, the first person in franchise history to ever appear on the cover of SI was Ted Williams, on the March 17, 1969, edition next to the headline that read: "Ted Williams Tackles His Problems."
The first person in a Rangers uniform on the cover of SI was manager Billy Martin on June 2, 1975. The cover read: "BASEBALL'S FIERY GENIUS." Inside the magazine, in an article written by Frank Deford, Martin, then in his second season with the Rangers, said: "It's been a truthful relationship here with everybody. I have a real foundation here. I think I'll stay here for the rest of my career."
Not quite. He was replaced 95 games into the 1975 season.
The first Rangers player on the SI cover was Bump Wills in March 1977. A little more than 20 years later, Pudge Rodriguez appeared in August 1997, and Josh Hamilton made it onto a June 2008 cover. In the run to the 2011 World Series, Nelson Cruz was an SI cover boy on October 24, which also included a front-cover teaser prediction of who would win the Fall Classic.
SI went with Texas in six. So, the noted SI cover jinx has officially worked against the Rangers.
Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba and Cardinals outfielder Jon Jay were featured on the October 31, 2011, cover under the headline: "Heart and Soul: A great World Series unfolds."
That's it as far as featured covers go, but Billy Martin was photographed for a May 1985 cover at Arlington Stadium ... as a Yankees skipper. And the SI cover jinx worked to the Rangers' advantage at the start of the 2010 playoffs, when Tampa Bay's David Price appeared on the cover of the October 11, 2010, edition. Price lost both games he pitched in that series.CHAPTER 3
Bringing Nolan Ryan (the Executive) Back to Arlington
When documenting the Rangers' typically tainted and sometimes torturous past or detailing some of the more dreadful and damaging decisions in club history, Dallas–Fort Worth media members and fans often toss Tom Hicks' name onto the grill for a full-scale barbecuing.
Hicks has been roasted, broiled, and burned for years by Rangers followers for everything from the signing of Alex Rodriguez in 2000 to the ballclub's bankruptcy woes a decade later. In 2009 Sports Illustrated ranked Hicks as the second-worst owner in baseball (ahead of only Baltimore's Peter Angelos).
While Hicks certainly earned much of the criticism that has followed him, it should be noted that he also was instrumental in one of the most positive decisions in team history. In February 2008 Hicks returned respectability to the Rangers and infused the entire organization with optimism by hiring Nolan Ryan as team president. Ryan, then 61, became the first Hall of Fame player to be named as president of a major league franchise since Christy Mathewson in 1925 with the Boston Braves.
It was a home run move for the Rangers, as Ryan proved to be so much more than a mere figurehead. He's been a mentor, a teacher, and a tone-setter, instilling toughness and increasing expectations throughout the clubhouse and the farm system. By 2010 Ryan's leadership had also proven to be instrumental in taking the Rangers all the way to the World Series. He had also become part of the team's ownership group and had added the title of CEO.
In other words, Hicks deserves a little credit for bringing Ryan back to the fold. If Hicks hadn't made the move in '08, Ryan probably would have eventually landed with the Astros.
"The reason I took this job is that it's a window of opportunity that would probably never present itself again under the guidelines in which I would require, and that would be either with the Houston organization or with the Rangers organization," Ryan said in February 2008, as reported by Alan Eskew of MLB.com. "At my age and this point in my life, it's a good opportunity for me and I always wanted to do something of this nature in baseball. ... If we were able to put a winner together and build consistency in this organization, and bring it from where it's been in the last eight to 10 years to being a consistent contender and being in the playoffs that would be very rewarding."

Thursday is the next ECB board meeting. Will Draghi be able to do "whatever it takes" to save Spain?
In order for the ECB to start buying Spanish bonds, there are three conditions precedent: (1) the ESM must be inaugurated, which requires the OK of the German constitutional court; (2) Spain must apply for aid from the ESM; and (3) Spain must sign onto a fiscal plan approved by the Troika, including the IMF.
I presume that the German court will OK the ESM. But Spain is not willing to even discuss making an application to the ESM. PM Rajoy says that he doesn't need to agree to an austerity plan, and that in any case he won't apply until the ECB agrees to unlimited bond purchases.
Draghi is left with no room for manoeuvre. He can't agree to unlimited bond purchases, and he can't do anything at all for Spain until the government applies for aid. Draghi stands ready to buy Spanish bonds, but he can't do it yet.

Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Thursday; Eduard in the Carlisle 14:20. Compare odds and bet.
As was the case yesterday, the day's selection makes his chasing debut in a really interesting contest, the Call Star Sports On 08000 521 321 Beginners' Chase.
Charlie Longsdon continues to fire in the winners and unleashes his stable-star Pendra here; the imposing son of Old Vic looks all over a chaser. A winner first time out during both seasons racing to date, he will no doubt prove extremely popular, but will probably come in to his own over further this season, so a chance is taken on Eduard (2:20) who himself looks a cracking novice chase prospect.
Nicky Richards' five-year-old also won a bumper on debut and went extremely close on his hurdles debut last season, so also goes well fresh. He went on to record two wide-margin successes over this sort of trip, latterly here in February where he stuffed inferior opposition by upwards of 29 lengths.
Better than he showed at the end of the season at Aintree, he is fancied to bounce back this season over fences and can make the perfect start under Brian Harding.
Thursday's selection:
2:20 Carlisle: Eduard; 13/8 Stan James

What's new in nursing, other than the enormous demand? "A tremendous amount of opportunity," says Anita Hall, director of operations for nursing at CompHealth, the nation's largest comprehensive health-care recruiting and staffing company.
Although the traditional bedside nurse still exists, Hall says, the options for nurses have expanded considerably. There has been a growing demand in recent years for nurses in insurance company care management, school nursing, home health, law (for those with advanced degrees), nursing homes and health care consulting.
There are various levels in nursing, depending on skill level and certification. The three primary groups of nurses are Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Registered Nurses (RNs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs).
Becoming an LPN requires the least amount of education and training, and these nurses have the lowest level of responsibility of nursing professionals. Typically, LPNs undergo a 12-month training period. Their skills are considered more "custodial" than those of higher-level nurses and their positions require less judgment; an RN almost always supervises them.
RNs are required to have either a two- or a four-year degree; most RNs have an associate, or 2- year degree. RNs work in a variety of settings and maintain an equally diverse set of responsibilities. With experience, they may be promoted to positions of increasing responsibility and pay, such as nurse supervisor, a job that involves directing every aspect of nursing activities.
NPs are advanced-level nurses with graduate degrees. They are sometimes referred to as "physician extenders." NPs diagnose and treat common illnesses, and in many states, prescribe medications. They can also teach in nursing schools. The demand for NPs is not as great as that for RNs, but there is more opportunity for growth and specialization at this level.
For LPNs, the average nationwide salary is approximately $27,000; for RNs, it's $44,840, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The average starting salary for NPs is $56,000; for NPs with three or more years of experience, it's $64,000, according to Allied Healthcare.
Nursing is a challenging field, and one that is changing rapidly due to advances in medical knowledge and technology that requires quicker, more complex care. As the demand for nursing professionals continue, the industry will be looking for a workforce with a unique blend of skills: "We desperately need people, both men and women, who are interested in the sciences and in caring for people," Hall says.

Robert Cowell, the Newmarket trainer who has a way with sprinters, won one of the holy grails of sprint handicapping on Saturday when Intrinsic landed the 32Red Stewards' Cup to bring down the curtain on a vintage Glorious Goodwood.
The 6-1 shot was always travelling smoothly in the almost white colours of owner Malih Al Basti just behind the leaders under Richard Hughes.
The only worry was when he hit the front and jinked left away from the jockey's right-hand drive. But Hughes straightened him up to beat Ninjago by a length, a comfortable margin given the millimetres that often separate the runners at the end of the historic six furlong dash.
Cowell, 45, bought the four-year-old off Sir Michael Stoute for 62,000 gns last autumn and he is now unbeaten in three starts for him.
"It's been well documented we've always thought he's a smart horse," he said. "We thought he was special after he won at Ascot. He cruised through the race. And when he had to make up seven lengths inside the last furlong at Goodwood on his second start we thought he was good enough to make a Group One entry for him."
He added: "It was a bold call of Richard (Hughes) to get off one of Richard Hannon's but he knows what he's sitting on. We can only see what we can see but he can feel it.
"He's pretty good, he has all the attributes to being a good sprinter and an amazing pedigree, that's the background to him." Hughes said that when he could not see Dane O'Neill on the well-backed favourite Muthmir at halfway he knew the race was in the bag.
"He jinked a bit here last time but he's still quite raw and it was nice to have a bit of room with him," he explained. "He's gone through the handicap ranks. He can step up in grade now and Group Three would tell us if he's ready to go up again.
"He might well be a Group One horse by next June with a bit more experience under his belt."
If it was a good end to the week for Cowell, Saturday concluded a superb eight days for John Gosden. He saddled his third Group One winner since last Saturday when the late blossoming Sultanina finished strongly to beat Narniyn a length-and-a-half in the Market Insurance Nassau Stakes.
The King George, Sussex Stakes and Nassau in just over a week is, by anyone's standards, is a fair achievement.
"It's the kind of thing you don't forget when you're an old guy sitting in a rocking chair," he said. "But my old friend Dick Mandella won three in a day at the Breeders' Cup once so I've a bit to go yet."
On paper the race looked a little weak but the winner is probably fairly smart, although how many more times we get to see her to prove that before she returns to her owner-breeder Philippa Cooper's Normadie Stud, which is 11 miles from the course, is open to question.
Despite not seeing a racecourse until the middle of May, she is already four and the QIPCO Fillies' and Mares' on Champions Day may be her swansong.
"When she won her maiden at Salisbury in May, Phillipa said to William Buick that she was the best filly she had ever bred," recalled Gosden.
"William told me she had 'gone' and I asked whether he meant the filly or the owner and he replied 'the owner!' But she was right.
"She won a Group Three on her second start but was a bit free in the Lancashire Oaks last time. The Aga Khan's filly (Narniyn) brought some good form to the race and it was a good duel between them but our filly's stamina kicked in in the last furlong."
Mrs Cooper explained that Sultanina, a big filly, had got sore shins last year and returned home to the stud to recuperate.
"But I asked John if I could send her back at four still not having had a run," she said. "Her mum and grandma both won at Goodwood and we knew it looked a weak Group one so we had to go for it."
The victory was Gosden's third Nassau in three years following on from The Fugue and Winsili.
"The Fugue (now retired) was meant to come here but we found a super-sub," he added. "Markel are William's sponsors so he's obviously after a new car from them!"
There are plenty of memories to take out of this Goodwood.
The highlight was Kingman's impressive burst of speed to win the Sussex Stakes, the most determined winner was Missunited in the Lillie Langtry and the appearance of Tom Cruise on Thursday was a huge coup for the course and racing.

Sasuke was waking up and ready for his favorite class, sparring. He was ready to challenge his best friend Tina. She was a gentle, talented waterbender of the Southern Water Tribe. She was also a very studious student. But on the battlefield she was very powerful and Sasuke learned not to underestimate her.
"Ready Tina?"
"I'm always ready!"
Tina shoots a blast of water but Sasuke ducks down and kicks fire at her with a low sweep. She falls on the ground and laughs.
"I'll get you next time Sasuke!"
"Not on my watch!"
The two head to History class.
"Today we will be learning about Avatar Torque, the one who restored airbending to the Air Nomads. He used-"
"Energybending, the same 5th bending Avatar Aang used to take away Fire Lord Ozai's bending away during the Hundred Year War," the Spirits teacher interrupted
"NO he used modern technology to restore their bending. A 5th bending element is nonsense!" the history teacher yelled, infuriated by the interruption.
"Get out of my classroom!" he expressed with huge slam of earth sent to the other teacher.
The simple monk dodged the attack with airbending.
"Sometimes I wish Torque hadn't restored airbending..." the History teacher sighed.
"I was just coming to get Sasuke, I need to have an important meeting with him."
Sasuke followed the Spirits teacher with fearfulness in his eyes. He was sweating and words kept repeating in his head.
Am I in trouble? Will I be expelled? But he is such a nice teacher what could go wrong? What did I do?
The Spirits teacher sensed the fear in Sasuke and comforted him as he led him up the stairs. When they finished the long walk they saw a big door which the teacher quickly opened. The room it led to was filled with ancient artifacts- and paintings of the past 4 Avatars. Roku, Aang, Korra, and Torque. Sasuke felt a strange energy as he sat down. His parents and teachers were also in the room. He took a deep breath.
"Sasuke, do you know what Spirits are?", the teacher asked.
"Yes they are immortal beings who watch over us"
"Do you know what the Avatar Spirit is?"
"Yes, it is a spirit that watches over us by reincarnating into physical bodies"
"And which element has the spirit been born in to at this time?"
"And do you know who it is?"
"Am I supposed to know? Am I going to be expelled?", Sasuke exclaimed with surprise loudly
"No, the new Avatar spirit is you Sasuke"
"ME! How long did you know this?"
"Ever since you were born"
ME! ME! Avatars always undergo pain and responsibility! NO! My whole life was an illusion!
Sasuke's expression changed to a face mixed with surprise, sorrow, anxiety, fear, and rage. When Sasuke returned to class he was unusually silent. When the school bell rung and Sasuke was about to head to his dorm Tina caught up to him.
"What's wrong Sasuke?",Tina softly said.
"Nothing!" and with that Sasuke stormed into his dorm.
Sasuke packed up snacks, medical supplies, and books.
"The world doesn't need me. They'll just mock me. Everyone is happy as they are and I'm just-different," Sasuke sighed as he opened the creaking door and left the room.
The End! Stay tuned for more episodes!

How well does your four year-old show empathy?(18 Posts)
This is something I've been mulling over for a while. My DD is almost four and a half and very clever in some ways, very scatter brained in others. The problem is that (not in a material way, I might add) she seems to be very self centred.
Twice this week she has woken up screaming that she wants to get up, waking up her younger brother and causing everybody to have avery fraught start to their day.
She is useless (lazy?) at looking for things and will whimper and whinge til I (in theory, help her) find whatever it is, regardless of what I am doing at the time.
I do realise as I write this down that you are probably all going to tell me that this is typical four year old behaviour.. but, is it really?
Surely she should be capable of showing some empathy for others' needs and wants at this stage.
Your thoughts are welcome.
Message withdrawn
Wow! That was quick!
No, I don't really. She does tick all the Highly Sensitive Child boxes and I know sometimes she sort of gets herself into a situation where she gets blocked by the strength of her own emotions.. but nothing too serious.
I just worry that maybe I should be doing something more to help her along, and not pandering too much..
Message withdrawn
don't think it's an age thing.
my 4.5 is like yours. my 2 yo is unbelievably compassionate and kind. always puts others first.
one day they'll learn.
I was going to post a similar thread. My dd is 3.5 and has great empathy. Obviously, she has moments of selfishness but, even as a baby, if another child was crying/upset, it would upset her and she would want to know why. The best way for me to get her to do anything (share toys/play nicely etc.) is to tell her that she will make other people sad if she doesn't.
DSD on the other hand is almost 7 and has almost no empathy whatsoever. We are having real problems with her being "too cool" to play with dd at the moment and because dd absolutely adores her, she gets very upset by it. She even says things like "My big sister doesn't like me very much does she ? I annoy her". This can be in front of dsd and it doesn't bother her at all . She also laughs if dd or ds (or any child) hurts themselves or gets told off for something
I am assuming/hoping she will learn to have more empathy as she gets older but I fear it may be a personality thing. I find it very difficult to deal with
The angle of it being her personality is interesting.. if a little
Tillyscoutsmum I think it's quite typical to very self-centred at 7, actually. Their personality really is kicking in then..
Anybody else?
Sounds completely normal to me, imo and I can certainly remember this being true of me as a child, most children are fundamentally selfish and believe parents are there just to meet their every need!!! This does not however mean they will grow into selfish adults, I didn't (at least I hope not - Im a nurse!) children learn empathy by being shown love, care and consideration. I think you can help this along by talking about feelings and how other people maybe feeling, also by them seeing you empathising with them for example ' I can see that is making you feel really cross, happy, sad etc' However saying all that, if my dd was waking me up at night I would be very cross (she is also 4!) Has she recently started school? Ive found my dd has been playing me up more than usual and been more clingy at bedtime since starting school!
Thanks girliefriend.
She has recently started back at school (different system here) so I suppose she might well be a little thrown by the return to routine after a relaxed Summer.
I do try all the talking about feelings etc but I swear sometimes I think she just zones out
She does cry if her little brother is in distress though so she can't be all that bad!
mamsnet - sorry, forgot to say that I think your dd's behaviour sounds totally normal. My dd does show great empathy in certain situations but will still expect me to drop everything to help her with something and whinge if I don't.
My dsd has always been the same (I have been her step mum since she was 15 months old). I suppose its very difficult for her because she is an only child at her mum's house and when she comes to us, she is suddenly expected to share toys, time and attention (and she obviously knows that her half siblings have her dad all the time and she doesn't which, I know from being a step child, can be a horrible feeling ). I think it is the lack of upset if anyone is in distress which concerns me the most
I think you are wrong to assume that everything she does to annoy you shows a lack of empathy:
partly because we annoy each other and still wouldn't like it to be called a lack of empathy: dh is rubbish at finding things too- but that doesn't make him a cold man, just slightly pathetic; my children frequently find me annoying- doesn't make me a cold mother; I expect you sometimes moan to friends or a partner- does that mean you don't care about them?
partly because that is putting the burden of your emotional wellbeing on her- it is not for her to make you feel happy, that is your job or possibly your partner's
Whining is annoying (if very typical of this age group) and should be dealt with briskly, but it's got nothing to do with empathy.
Lack of empathy is things like hurting somebody and then laughing. Things like Tilly mentions I would say might denote a late development of empathy (but not necessarily that it never will develop).
I would not talk about feelings every time she misbehaves or annoys you; that sounds a little like emotional blackmail to me. Save the feelings talk for when she is actually hurting someone or being deliberately rude or unkind. At all other times, the brisk approach is best: "No darling, I can't help you, you'll have to look yourself, but remember there is a no-whining rule in this house".
Thanks Cory, in fact we do have the "no whinging" rule..
And we don't do the "feelings talk" every time!
She doesn't actually hurt anybody deliberately or anything so severe. What she does do is seem to assume that her needs at any given moment outweigh mine every time..
I was never worried that there was any lack of social understanding or anything more sinister. I think my concern was really more about whether I was just dealing with the issues each time and not working enough on a longer term strategy of thinking of others too..
I don't think my OP was much good, actually..
tbh I think it is a case of dealing with them again and again until it gradually sinks in- I don't think you can find a strategy that is magically going to make her want to behave all of a sudden
in most areas, children need to learn to behave long before they are actually able to internalise their behaviour and understand why it is wrong or why it would upset other people or how they come across to other people
my dd at 13 is just about old enough to understand how she comes across to other people and want to stop herself sounding silly- she is more or less thinking like a grownup and can hear what she sounds like to other people
my 10yo is not quite there, so he has to be made to behave or at least reminded what the rules are
I suppose you could say that dd has got to an age where she doesn't really need the rules because she has internalised them- ds hasn't
Thanks a million for that, Cory..
DH is away this weekend (hence Sunday MNing) and I suppose I have too much thinking time on my hands
If it's any consolation, I found the age of 3 and 4 absolutely exhausting and yes, it was the whining that wore me down. Every age after that has been easier.
I posted something similar when dd was 5 (now aged 9). I found her very hard work, very emotional, very smart yet totally self absorbed and what I considered to be lacking in empathy, both towards her family members and her friends.
Many replied back by saying that empathy is more natural in some than others. Other people have to work hard at it.
Empathy is a great social advantage to have but it doesn't mean that those for whom it doesn't come naturally can't learn to have it too. We (and school) have worked hard with dd to get her to stop and think about how other people feel/react to her actions and to get her to realise there is a consequence to all her actions. She certainly wasn't being vindictive or malicious, she was doing what comes naturally, which is for many people like her, being a leader.
Thanks for that Themaster.. I have often thought that we have a leader on our hands!
It's interesting too.. because my DH, whilst wonderful may well be one of those people who just has to work at showing empathy! As for his parents..
Well, if it's genetic I'm rightly fucked
I think it is dependant on the child ds age 4.6 will give anything to stop dd 14months stop crying if she is crying and I am busy( you know hands covered in toxin)and cannot come immediately he will cry that she is scared or hungry and needs me. I often worried that he was to empathic. He seems to understand more than he should about others feelings I have always been very scared for him and worried that I have done something wrong .
He never stands up for himself he lets children walk all over him but if he sees someone take a toy off another child he will tell them off. There is a boy in DS who hits all the children and some of the boys wont go to school unless ds is going because he wont let him hit them.
My sister however age 9 does not care about anyone's feelings but her own. She wants to play downstairs and DS wants to play upstairs so they spend 30minutes down and 30 minutes up. Even though ds will be crying to go up and she has had her turn she will say no I am not going up. I think it is just different qualities. She is not vindictive or nasty just seems to lack understanding about others feelings we do the feelings talk though.

It is vital for Saudi Arabia to attract substantial amounts of private (i.e. largely foreign) investment and new technology to meet rapid demand and growth in the Education sector.
Sector briefing Education & Training Opportunities in Saudi Arabia Why Saudi Arabia? Saudi Arabia is approximately the size of Western Europe and is one of the world?s 25 largest economies located at a strategic geological position between Europe and Asia. Though historically recognised as a key player in the global economy for its oil exports, Saudi Arabia is moving towards becoming less dependent on oil revenues. The Kingdom?s 2010 budget, set at US$ 144 billion, is the second record budget in successive years. Most of the budget is to be spent in support of infrastructure and social development, with 25% going to education, training and manpower.

London: England captain Paul Collingwood on Tuesday apologised for visiting a strip club a night before an important tie in the Twenty20 world championships.
The tabloid The Sun reported on Tuesday that Collingwood accompanied friends to a lap dancing club in Cape Town on Saturday night ahead of England's Super Eights tie against hosts South Africa the next day.
England lost the match by 19 runs with Collingwood failing to score.
"I was taken to an inappropriate bar, realised that and got out of there," Collingwood said after England suffered a five-run defeat by New Zealand at the Kingsmead here on Tuesday.
"Obviously I'm disappointed from my side of things and hopefully it won't happen again.
"I made a mistake, that's what it comes down to."
Collingwood said he had one beer in the club.
"The friends that I was with were not massively close friends, to be honest, and they took me to the bar," he said.
Collingwood added he had apologised to the team management. "I'll make apologies to them, I have already," he said.
"I realise it was inappropriate and I'm disappointed with myself."
The defeat against the Kiwis means England have only an outside chance to reaching the semi-finals.

She has served as an Interim Leader in Surgery for the last three months.
The Perioperative Services Manager is responsible for the areas of outpatient surgery, post-anesthesia care unit, central sterile, operating rooms and endoscopy suites. Throughout Davis' time in Surgery at Pella Regional, surgical volume has continued to grow, including a record year of 7% growth for surgical procedures in 2014.
"It's an honor to work with this amazing staff and such a great group of surgeons," said Davis. "I'm very excited for our future and continued growth in surgery. We've achieved record-breaking growth for the past five months. The key to that success is our team and the surgeons we work with. I really believe our patients can feel the compassion and dedication of our team when they are here."

Edit Article
wikiHow to Handle Teenager Rebellion
Rebelling is a part of becoming a teenager. Every teen does it but it's important to know how to handle it so it only lasts as long as any other stage.
1Recognize rebelliousness. Teenage rebellion includes many actions and "warning signs" that let you know your child is being rebellious. You'll start to notice dropped grades, maybe trouble at school, shorter temper, and more lip. Your teen will likely begin by rebelling in a small way in order to push the limits of what they can and can't do.
2Don't be too strict. It may seem appealing to be hard on rebellion all the time in order to discourage it but rebellion almost wants that. It's really difficult to rebel against someone who isn't strict. Minor power struggles are always best won but sometimes you have to just not play. Give your teen some space. Let them change their look and their personal space.
3Don't give in. Once you tell them to do something, don't let them avoid it without a compelling reason. While you shouldn't be strict, once you make a decision you have to follow through on it. If they were supposed to take out the trash an hour ago, and it still isn't done for whatever reason, it is paramount that you make them do it. Don't give in to these minor power struggles, because they set the stage for all of the other ones.
4Examine their side of the story. They might have reasoning for wanting to do/not do something that you haven't thought about. Be flexible if they have sound logic. Don't be afraid to change your mind, or ask for time to think about it.
5Give your teen space. Lying and hiding things are small acts of rebellion that are gateways into larger ones. By not giving your teen reason to lie or hide things from you, you prevent them from even considering those things.
6Set clear rules. Your teen should never be able to claim that they "didn't know" something was forbidden.
- However, avoid setting rules for things that they probably won't consider. As in the parable about the boy who stuck beans up his nose, you don't want to give your child ideas.
7Decide what to do with your teen. Keeping them busy is a good way to prevent any rebellious desires from taking root. A job (volunteer or paid), sports, and other time-occupying activities are good methods. If your teen is unresponsive to your trying to intervene and nip things in the bud you'll just have to let them find themselves in hot water. Let your teen get themselves into some moderate trouble outside of home. Once the school has them for vandalism or the they call you from the sheriff's office being a rebel won't be much fun anymore.

Kate Hudson's Parisian Retail Romp with Ryder
Treating herself to a shopping spree, Kate Hudson hit up the shops in Paris, France with her son Ryder today (July 5).
The "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" actress looked cool and casual in a blue button-up top with jeans and tan boots as she held her son's hand and led him through the Haute Couture Fashion Week madness.
In a recent interview, Kate talked about her longtime obsession with makeup, beginning with dressing up her brother.
She explained, "My poor brother. He was kind enough to be my mannequin, and let me experiment on his face. I'd put blue eye shadow on him and we'd laugh."
Kate added, "I remember my mom's makeup artist, this wonderful, old-time sort of legend in the movie industry, Tom Case, who had one little box he'd carry with him. He'd pull out just four items, and make the most incredible face with those four things. He said, 'You can go in there as much as you want, but you have to put everything back exactly where you found it.'"
