How not to discipline

Model: Bryanna Wright

A friend, angry with her child for doing something that children do, asked the all-too-familiar rhetorical questions, "Are you an idiot? What is wrong with you? Are you stupid or something?"

ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH The moment I knew things had to change

CALL it determination, call it foolish — whatever it is that keeps persons hanging on to a bad situation, position or person despite the toll it is taking on them physically and emotionally. But despite this determination to make things work, there may come a time when you take a step back and decide that enough is enough, this is it, it's time to move on. What is that one moment that broke the camel's back and made you arrive at that decision to make a right about turn and change your l ... Read More

Vows - Music of the 'HEART'

Monday, March 10, 2014    

Mr and Mrs Ricardo Wray share a passionate kiss as family members look on.

"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." -- Ecclesiastes 4:12 When Jody-Ann Jackson met Ricardo Wray, they were both students at the Stony Hill HEART Academy, and despite his achievements, she was not at all impressed by him. In fact, one might even say she found him pompous. "I did not like him at all, I always thought he was acting too perfect. He was the president of the students' council body, and to me, he behaved as though ... Read More

LATCH on to your relationship

Monday, March 10, 2014    

BROKEN relationships are situations counselling psychologist Dr Lola Allen sees every day, but her main advice to couples who feel like all hope is lost is to LATCH on to their union and the commitment they have made to each other. LATCH is the acronym for love, acceptance, trust, communication and honesty. All of these criteria she believes are crucial to having and maintaining a relationship. "This LATCH principle came about from the latch that you use for windows and doors. One fastens the ... Read More

Get bigger breasts and a butt

By NADINE WILSON All Woman writer | Monday, March 10, 2014    

IT'S the desire of many women to have voluptuous butts and perky boobs without having to deal with an expanded mid-section in the process. And perhaps capitalising on these desires, manufacturers have never been short on products that promise to make these a reality. However, consultant general, laparoscopic and obesity surgeon Dr Alfred Dawes said that there is not much women can do to naturally increase their cup size and fairly little options exists to get large buttocks. "Your breast size ... Read More

Barefaced 'Bun'

BY DONNA HUSSEY-WHYTE | Monday, March 10, 2014    

MANY stories have been told of cheaters who have been blatant in dipping into other people's cups, right under the noses of the unsuspecting partners. In fact, some of the more popular stories surround the 'cousin', who more likely than not will be accepted by the partner, until it is realised that the 'cousin' isn't a family member at all. "One story that always comes up at our family gatherings is about my aunt whose 'cousin' would always visit her in his bread van while my uncle was at work ... Read More

"People of a lower socioeconomic status claim to be less satisfied sexually, which especially appli ... Read More

He came to my door and I let him in

With Wayne Powell MA Counselling Psychology Relationship Counsellor | Monday, March 10, 2014    

Dear Counsellor, Last June I met a man and we started a relationship. He told me that he was living with someone but that he liked me and we could try to work together. At the time I had just ended a two and a half year relationship and needed the distraction to help me through it. A couple months into the relationship I decided that the lifestyle was not going to work for me and asked him to leave me alone. He complied for about a week while still texting and calling. I didn't answer or retu ... Read More

Constipated...

By Donovan Grant | Monday, March 10, 2014    

Constipation is a condition of the digestive system, where bowel motion becomes irregular. The person will have difficulty passing stool.
