The learning process can be a fun and joyous experience. However, more often than never, children find it hard to cope, handle and manage with the process of studying. As parents, you might think that there is only so much you can do to help your child cope. This is very wrong. There is actually so much you can do to help your child cope up with studying. Let me tell you how.Too often, children feel pressurized by the current educational system. They are forced to memorize and endure hours of restless homework just to obtain straight A's or good grades in major examinations. Studying has become a process not to gain knowledge but a process involved to score well in exams. As parents, instead of adding on to your children's pressure, your job is to help them cope with it.

There was a time in our past when doctors would tell parents of children who suffered from physical deformities to wait, "It will go away" or "Leave it alone, making an issue of it will only make it worse." What was this "it" they spoke of? In some cases it was hemangiomas and malformations of the face. It doesn't take a genius to realize ignoring a facial malformation, especially in a young child is not a healthy option. Fortunately today, medical science and psychological science recognizes when a young person presents him or herself in public and they do not look like everyone else, ostracism is likely to occur. Ostracism can be like shunning, an old time punishment which was like a death sentence, because the human psyche cannot tolerate to be ignored. In the case of a facial malformation, the young person does not understand the reason for his or her discrimination. Therefore, The Lifestyle Lift Foundation was created to help deal with this challenge, through the use of cosmetic enhancement procedures. Dr. David Kent, the founder of Lifestyle Lift, decided to help children who had disfiguring diseases and other malformations of the face. In 2006 he founded the Lifestyle Lift...more
