Information goulash

I've gotten backed up - lots of things I've been wanting to share. So I'm double-posting today and listing a bunch of stuff together:

  1. Thanks for the one on fasting. It just backs up what we've been thinking lately.

  2. I'm surprised at the last article on panic attacks. Two out of the three risk factors are parents being over protective.

    Hmmm, was I overprotective when my d was young? I tried so hard not to be and to let her explore without inducing fear.

  3. Yeah, don't you love that "such as?" Sounds fishy to me.

    I'm guessing that a childhood of commercials about hand sanitizers and a news programs on terrorism and the constant stream of fear-mongering health ads are as likely to be triggers...

  4. I think it relates to a genetic predisposition that is then triggered by a commercial or a parent's comments, not the parent's themselves.

    Although the parent may have anxiety issues themselves that may be perceived as overprotectedness, the actual anxiety is more then likely transmitted genetically rather then physically -- does that make sense? I have one kid who is highly anxious (just like me) and another who doesn't have a care in the world (like dad)...it's genetics. When we stop blaming different parenting styles and look at the chemistry, I think more people will be helped!
