WHY IS MY CHILD OUT-OF-CONTROL? - TEMPERAMENT
Nine-year-old Derek’s dad: “When he was a toddler, if a drop of water landed on his clothes, he howled until we changed them. Since he wouldn’t nap, we’d put him in his bedroom and lock the door so we could take a breather.” Derek’s parents claimed managing him added to the strain on their already fragile marriage — and pushed it over the edge. They’ve been divorced for three years.

BULLYING: WHAT IF YOUR CHILD IS A VICTIM?
Twelve-year-old Stephanie dreaded school. Life changed when the sensitive girl who excelled in music, entered middle school. Stephanie felt that nothing about her “fit in”-- from her clothes, to her interests. Never athletic, gym was the worst. It started at the lockers where the “cool” group taunted her, then continued as they spread rumors about her. Walking to the cafeteria was a nightmare. Her grades suffered, as she started getting “stomach aches” and often stayed home. Afraid to make things worse, she suffered in silence.

UNLV Evaluation Shows Measurable Results
Las Vegas, Nevada - January 26, 2010 - An analysis of the Camp MakeBelieve Kids program of social and emotional learning was completed in December, 2009,by a team of researchers from the Department of Educational Psychology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, led by Dr. Paul Jones, Ed.D. Information was solicited from parents about progress of their children in eight broad skill areas: social skills, identifying feelings, boundaries, empathy, manipulation, mood management, self regulation, and motivation. Statistically significant positive change was evident on all scales with exception only of the scale in which misinterpretation by parents could have limited the quality of the data. The extent of change from pre to post ratings in the range between medium and large is remarkable over an eight-week cycle. There was a statistically significant positive change between pre and post in this overall or average rating and the extent of change would be categorized as substantial.
