</div> </div> <div class="content"> <h3>Kids hear the word "no" a million times a day.</h3> Children are still learning how to interact with the world, and as such, there are some things that they can't or shouldn't do. Naturally, we tell them "no," but now, some child psychologists and behaviorists warn that kids who hear the word too often can develop a negative outlook.
However, this doesn’t mean that children should be allowed to run wild. Here are some tips from experts that you can use to foster positive parenting interactions with your child.
1. Use positive terms to respond to questions.
Phrase responses so that you’re telling children what they can do instead of what they can’t do. Say that they can play later or have one cookie instead of giving them an outright “no.”
2. Talk about what you’re feeling.
Instead of just saying “stop” or “no,” explain why you don’t like something in age-appropriate terms. Tell them that it hurts when they hit you or that the noise they’re making affects your concentration. This kind of dialogue helps develop kids’ empathy for others.
3. Give kids a choice between two things that they can do.
Instead of saying, “No bouncing the ball in the house,” provide a choice between two other locations. “You can bounce the ball in the backyard or in the driveway. Which would you like?” This often stops kids from responding in a rebellious way.

Bradley Manning pleads guilty to 10 charges, Michael Moore hails as hero

It’s official. He’s a hero. Bradley Manning pleads guilty to exposing US government misdeeds. Thank you B. Manning mmflint.me/12ezTcF
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) March 1, 2013
Bradley Manning has pleaded guilty to just under half of the charges stemming from his massive leak of military documents to WikiLeaks. Conspicuously, he pleaded not guilty to “aiding the enemy.” If leaking piles of classified documents isn’t “aiding the enemy,” we’d like to know what is.

Surprisingly, Manning also apparently said that he tried and failed to leak to the mainstream U.S. media before turning to Julian Assange and his deranged crew.

Of course, to our radical friends, this means he just admitted to an act of heroism against the big, bad United States.
“If Bradley Manning did what he’s accused of, he’s a consummate hero, & deserves a medal & our collective gratitude, not decades in prison.”

Um, that would be the pope, a man who taught peace rather than maliciously leaking information that would facilitate the slaughter of innocents.

Are people really so accepting of human rights abuses that they don’t mind giving the jihadists our most valuable information? Are they just plain ignorant? Whatever they think, for all of our sakes, we can only hope that these people wake up someday.

http://twitter.com/#!/KenWahl1/status/309150960788324353
Hugo Chavez-worshipping Hollyweirdo Sean Penn is all torn up about the death of Venezuela’s oppressive tyrant. After hearing the news, Penn joined morally corrupt politicians and media in writing the hagiography of the “friend” he was “blessed to have.”
“Today the people of the United States lost a friend it never knew it had. And poor people around the world lost a champion,” says Penn in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “I lost a friend I was blessed to have. My thoughts are with the family of President Chavez and the people of Venezuela.”
Once again, actor Ken Wahl (unverified account) puts his Tinseltown colleagues to shame with a dose of tough love. “Tell Sean Penn that his friend Hugo Chavez may have lived longer & had better care if he didn’t have socialized Cuban health care.”
That’s caring.

Buffett Rule falls, progs keep recycling failed class warfare rhetoric
http://twitter.com/#!/seungminkim/status/192026165186265090
The Buffett Rule went down in flames in the Senate tonight as it failed to meet the 60-vote threshold needed to pass.
Twitter users, as usual, had plenty to say about Obama’s tax hike attempt. Most tweeps were pretty happy to hear about the failure and still think the Buffett Rule is a joke in more ways than one.
Obama's Buffett rule got blocked by the Senate today, thank goodness
