I’ve been wondering today about how our left brain can make up stories and believe that they are true even though it only has some portion of the facts and truth – but never wants to admit it’s wrong!!  How about ‘the chicken and the shovel‘ research?  The left brain doesn’t care if it doesn’t have the full context.

It can be very inventive and imaginative!

And I think our left brain is completely capable of terrorizing us with the conclusions it ERRONEOUSLY makes with only a portion of relevant information — without a full context — and without an accurate knowledge of facts or the TRUTH — particularly if we have a history of trauma and a situation awakens

our sleeping trauma memory giant!

New Resource for Parents: CDC Parent Portal

Posted: 21 Sep 2009 02:53 AM PDT

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has created a Parent Portal to help parents find information to give children healthier, safer lives. The CDC Parent Portal organizes and presents information for parents and provides resources from across CDC, all in one location, making it easier for parents to find what they are looking for.

The Portal is a great source for credible, accurate information in helping parents raising healthy kids and providing a safe home and community. It also is a resource for diseases and conditions that can occur, and for developmental milestones and schedules. The Parent Portal also provides information on physical activity, diet, physical and mental health, injuries and violence, peer relationships, and a special section on risk behaviors geared for the parents of teens.
