How to ride the market
rollercoaster
'Market volatility'
is really just a fancy way of
describing the (sometimes dramatic) ups and downs markets go
through at times. We're in the middle of such a period
right now and it can be nerve-wracking,
especially when we see the impact the downs have on our
savings and investments. 22seven has some advice
on what to do. Cashing out and
hiding your money under your mattress is not an option! |

Marriage is hard work -
but should it be?
The phrase 'Marriage is hard work' has been so often
repeated that nowadays it has almost achieved the status of
gospel, or incontrovertible truth. It's also often (rather
glibly) used to excuse some of the more complex issues in
our relationships with our spouses. Arguing all the time?
Fighting over money? Having intimacy issues? Infidelity?
'That's the hard work calling right there - don't say you
weren't warned' is the popular mantra. But should marriage
be such hard work? asks Rachel Moss, in this article for
Huff Post. |

When your child is the
bully
Bullying is very difficult for children, or anyone, to
deal with. It makes the person being bullied feel afraid,
degraded and worthless. It can also lead to social
isolation as they become reluctant to go to school or work
or to social events because they are afraid they will see
their bully. This situation can be extremely traumatising
and can affect the entire family, more so when the
person being bullied is a child. Perhaps even more difficult
to deal with as a parent, is when it is your child doing
the bullying. ICAS offers some tips on how to deal with
bullying from this perspective. |

Eating disorders 101: when
food is no longer a friend
There are a number of reasons why a child or teenager
might develop a complicated relationship with food.
These could include a divorce, losing a loved one, changing
schools, being bullied, as a result of sexual assault,
difficult family relationships, illness, depression, anxiety
and low self-esteem. Sometimes it can also result from a
parent's negative approach to food.
ICAS shares tips on
what to look out for when it comes to eating disorders. |
