Christmas: Not Always So Cheery (2)by Beth McHughIn our last article on this topic we looked at the high expectations that so many of us have about Christmas and the festive season and why it is not only so stressful for so many of us, but why it is often a time of unhappiness rather than joy.

Effects of House Break-ins on Young Childrenby Beth McHughHave you had your house broken into?

Although a robbery is a traumatic event for anyone to go through, the effect on young children is often longer term than that for adults. Sexting: Harmful or Harmless?by Beth McHughTeens and pre-teens are increasing sending explicit images of themselves via texting using cell phones, a phenomenon known as "sexting". |
