Good for her!

While there were long queues for getting photographed with all the Disney Characters in the Disney World, Mary Poppins was the only one walking around and wishing to be recognized by someone ....anyone!

The young children did not recognize her at all!

The older people who recognized her ( like me)
were too old to wish to be photographed with her!


 
And hope to be able to separate ~ 15000 kids from their parents???

    U.S. to sharply limit refugee flows to 30,000 in 2019

    U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday the United States would cap the number of refugees allowed into the country at 30,000 for fiscal-year 2019, a sharp drop from a limit of 45,000 it set for 2018. "This year's proposed refugee ceiling must be considered in the context of the many other forms of protection and assistance offered by the United States," he said. "Today's announcement ... is a shameful abdication of our humanity in the face of the worst refugee crisis in history," Jennifer Quigley, of Human Rights First, said in a statement.

Psychotherapy recommended for women caring for children with severe health issues

Psychotherapy recommended for women caring for children with severe health issues

  • Study reveals brief cognitive behavioral therapy significantly improves mental health of women overwhelmed by caring for children with severe chronic health conditions. Researchers at the University of Louisville conducted a study in which participants reported significantly decreased depressive symptoms, negative thinking and chronic stressors, and experienced improved sleep quality after five therapy sessions. Lynne Hall, presented the findings said, "Women caring for children with chronic conditions such as cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis are at high risk for depressive symptoms. They have many things to juggle, including caring for the child, administering medications and coordinating physician and therapy visits. They're stressed and overwhelmed by the amount of care their children require and the number of hours a day it takes." The study findings show that women caring for children with serious health conditions should be screened for depression and that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an essential treatment for this population. Brief CBT, a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving and focuses on changing patterns of thinking or behavior to decrease negative thoughts and improve recognition of one's ability to cope. For the study, 94 female caregivers with high levels of depressive symptoms were randomly assigned to either a control group or an intervention group, which received five 45 to 60-minute sessions of CBT. The women were given homework that centered around examples of cognitive distortions with positive substitutions, a thoughts log, and instructions for practicing relaxation.
