us, who was the Roman god ofinning and endings. Janus isesented as having two faces

ne facing toward the past and

facing toward the future. Overe, people created the traditionusing the rst day of the newr as a time to look back onnished business and resolve toe positive changes.

esolution is a promise thatmake to yourself. Common

olutions include losing weight,ching less TV, eating less candyunk food, and reading moreks. Resolutions are also likes, in that you select a desired

w Years resolutions are a greatect for family members of alls. Everyone can benet froming goals for themselves andking to achieve those goals

throughout the year. A good planfor reaching goals is to make surethat the goal is reasonable, andthen stay focused on accomplishingit during the course of the year.Enlist the help of others to remindyou of your goals over time.

These simple guidelines can behelpful for setting individual orgroup goals and working to achieve

them:1. Make a specic goal for yourself.

2. Set goals that can be reachedduring the year.

3. Create a plan of action on howyou will reach the goal.

4. Write down your plans.

5. Keep a journal to help measureyour achievements.

6. Review your results at the endof the year.

Research shows that most adultsusually chose from among thefollowing resolutions: spend moretime with family and friends, gett, lose weight, quit smoking, quitdrinking, get out of debt, learnsomething new, help others, or getorganized.

This year, why not try making someresolutions that will help you tobecome a better parent. At the

m pleased to have received amber of positive responses tot I of this article in the form ofne calls from parents. Thankall for the kind words.

gan this topic by recognizingt I was a behavioral terror inool, and I could never gurewhat prompted my behavior.

n, one day during the 3rdde my mother taught me tod, and I began to successfullyticipate in class.

tributed the poor behavior toinability to be successful likepeers in school. The inability tod like my peers during readingloud time in class, was what

alled a setting event. Everyavior has a setting event orironment that causes students

worry or become anxious. The

ing event reading out-loude preceded my disruptiveaviors.

t came the antecedent, whenteacher said, Brad, it is timeyou to read the next three

agraphs. I call the teachersaded request the antecedentthe trigger that started myuptive behavior. My behaviorowing the request to read

to throw something acrossclass, accidently drop

books loudly on the oor,pick on the student next to

What my behavior actuallyected was my SHOUTING OUTETLY: I cannot read, and Iso embarrassed. Kids beganlaugh, disrupting everyone

uding the teacher, and thatvitable phone call from thecher (reporting my disruptiveavior) came home yet again.

mples of disruptive behaviorme in dierent forms: verbal

or physical aggression towardsothers or property; passiveaggressiveness whereby a childpartially controls behavior, onlyletting out bits and pieces in a slybut assertive manner; displayinganger, or being a rock and holdingit in until getting home and causingall hell to break loose with siblingsor parents.

Why would a childs behaviorcontinue like this? Often, whena child behaves in a disruptivemanner, the behavior functions(serves a purpose) and supportsa childs desire to avoid revealingthat he/she cannot read or readout-loud in front of her/his peers.Peer inuence means much moretoday than it did several years ago,which is truly unfortunate. I havemany clients who go for yearsblung their way through school.

While their teachers know better,the important people - their peers- think they are just being clowns.

Now I would like to consider whatenvironmental changes, structureand support can remove a childsneed to use these behaviors. Is itmore discipline? Is it more time-out and sitting on the bench duringrecess? Is it removing a child tothe back of the class or out inthe hallway; activity suspension;sending the child to the principal,

or calling home again?

The answer is to ask for whatis termed a Positive BehaviorIntervention Plan. That is a term/service used in the four-countiesI work in. A Positive BehaviorIntervention Plan includes a step-by-step formal analysis of a childsbehavior: why it truly occurs; whatthe predictors and antecedentsof the behavior are; and whatfunction (purpose) it serves thechild to behave in a disruptive

manner; what structural, teach-ing, and environmental changesneed to be made to change thedesire of the child to continue thebehavior; and what the desiredreplacement behaviors look like.The joint (school-child-parent)prepared behavior support planshould then be monitored using

data to determine success.

No behavior support plan will besuccessful if it fails to address theunderlying cause of the behavior,and the plan must be monitoredand adjusted using data until suchtime as replacement behaviorsprovide a child with academic,social, and emotional success.The old saying Success breedsSuccess holds true today morethan ever.

Please be aware that a childsinability to learn may becaused by something that isdicult to pinpoint withoutformal assessment. Prolongedtime-delays spent trying tohypothesize why a child is failingto learn or make progress, canfurther entrench the undesiredbehaviors. Parents can alwaysask the school in writing for aformal assessment of their child inthe areas of academic, cognitive,social adaptive, sensory-motor,

communication, intellectual,health and development withoutincurring any cost.

These types of assessmentsreveal critical information andndings about why a child is notbeing successful in school. Theyalso oer recommendations byexperts on how to provide a childwith interventions and services

Local History

ecently wrote a columnut several of the buildings in

wntown San Luis Obispo thate a name or, in some cases,names. I was regretting

writing about several otherous buildings along Higueraet (such as the Dove Buildinghe Maino Building) or otherbuildings on Monterey Street

ch as the Sinsheimer). Thengan to think about all of the

at buildings that are no longerund because of demolition. Ik of these as ghost buildings.

ny grand buildings once graced

wntown with that impressivek of ne craftsmanship. Ofrse over time, all buildings starteteriorate and decay, especiallyey are made of wood. Even a

d brick wall is not necessarily arantee for long life.

of my favorite ghostdings was the old City Hall

located on Higuera Street nearthe corner of Chorro. To be more

specic, if you were to walk downHiguera Street and stop in frontof Charles Shoes, you would bestanding where it once stood.The old City Hall was a multi-level building that even houseda really cool bell that was rungwhen there was a re in town.The City Hall was built in 1879 ata cost of approximately $7,500. Ihave always wished this buildinghad been restored, but during the1950s it was easier to tear downa building rather than spend the

money to restore it.

The old City Hall was a large brickand stone building with threelarge arched entrances where thecity re wagons were housed. Thehorses were kept in the rear ofthe building. In case of a re, thehorses were hitched up to the rewagons to gallop o to the scene.

Above the re department, thebuilding included the oces of CityHall. The second oor had threevery large windows that oeredoce workers a panoramic viewof daily life on Higuera Street. By1945, the bell tower started tobecome a danger, especially forkids in town who would climb upthe tower as a fun activity. Thecity decided that the bell towerneeded to come down, and justeight years later the entire buildingwas demolished.

My next favorite ghost buildingwas a theater. If you walk up ordown Monterey Street and stopin front of the Italian restaurantnamed Giuseppes, you would bestanding at the site of one of thebest walk-in theaters in town, theObispo Theater. This building hadan incredible-looking marqueethat was similar to the Fremontmarquee in its later years. Inaddition, the building had a hugeneon sign that said Obispo,similar to the Wineman Hotel signon Higuera. It also had a huge archon the front of the building andelaborate architectural detail atthe top. The Obispo burned downon December 28, 1975. The lastshow to play at the theater wasSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs,which was rereleased that year. Ibet many of you who grew up inSan Luis Obispo remember goingto the Obispo and watching thelatest movie on the big screen.Now lets stroll on over to HigueraStreet, walk down and stop onthe corner of Higuera and GardenStreets, where Marshalls Jewelrystore now stands. At this locationstood a two-story stone ghostbuilding. Built in the 1880s, it was avery modern building for the time.The huge windows that lined thesecond oor and ornate stonework

at the top were classic inThis building was origingoods store. In its latMr. Riley bought the buiopened the original loRileys Department Stothe premier departmentdowntown). This once building began to fall intoand was nally demolish1950s.

nking about resolutions tohealthier, exercise more, or

tch to a more thrilling job? Ifre expecting a baby, you mayet most from a set of Newrs resolutions to help reachr breastfeeding goals. Withpercent of moms trying toastfeed, but only 14 percentking it to the minimum sixnths of exclusive breastfeedingommended by the Americandemy of Pediatrics, its timeake the step-by-step approacht works with diet and exercise

apply it to achieving your

sonal nursing goals.

astfeeding and working oute a lot of similaritiestheyh have whopping short-termlifetime benets for you and

r baby, and they can alternateween being challenging,

wnright frustrating, andathtakingly rewarding. Herea few suggestions for gettingsing o on the right footgardless of past experience or

thereof):

now what to expect.

exercising, theres a learningve for breastfeeding, lastingwhere from a few days to a feweks. It may be uncomfortable,may get sore, or you may want

hrow in the towel from time toe. Thats normal! Every ouncents, so give yourself lots ofse for making the eort andging in there. Reward yourselfmilestones like the rst timecan latch the baby on without

help, or the rst time you feelcomfortable nursing in public. A

massage or shopping trip (cutenursing top or lingerie?) can dowonders for your mama mojo.

2. Forgive yourself.

If you didnt breastfeed your rst,or quit before you wanted to, letyourself o the hook. First of all,its likely you were unwittinglybooby-trapped by barriers beyondyour control, and chances are youdid the best you could under thecircumstances. Second, beating

yourself up never helpsit justmakes things worse. Chalk uppast ops as part of the fantasticlearning experience that will makeyou more motivated and moresuccessful this time around.

3. Be realistic and prepared.

Setting achievable goals is justas important for breastfeedingas it is for running a race. Youmay have a vision of a marathon-worthy three years of exclusive

breastfeeding in your mind, butraces are run one stride at a time.Take stock of your situationareyou going back to work? Are youa single parent? Do you have atoddler underfoot?

Figure out where you will needmore help and make a planto get it; whether that meansworking something out with youremployer, lining up help from yourfriends and family, or swappingbabysitting with another mom.

Remind yourself that parenthoodis about progress, personality, andperseverance; not perfection!

4. Keep it simple.

Dont set out to read every massivetome on lactation managementissuesyour head will soon beswimming, and your condencesinking, in obscure conditionsand syndromes that are usuallypreventable or only aect a smallpercentage of moms. Instead:

a) arm yourself with informationvia a good, recommendedbreastfeeding class and trya great DVDsuch as ShariCrisos Simply Breastfeeding;

b) watch another mother nurse(YouTube has a wealth ofvideos if you dont havea breastfeeding friend orrelative); and

c) nd a good coach and acheering squad (i.e., a certiedlactation consultant or La LecheLeague support group).

5. Stay positive.

See yourself as successful andable to adapt to any challenges

or hurdles that come yjust as with any othermotheringwe all fall dpick ourselves up. Stfrom naysayers. Tell buslaws that, just as with

and sunscreen, we knonow about the imporbreastfeeding.

Ask Christinar Christina:

ry year at this time, I makeolutions about changes Int to make in my life. Shortly January, I start to feela failure, as I usually get

rwhelmed and lose my willwer to make desired changesmy life. By the time Februarymes around, I am back to my

ways. How can I put an endhis cycle?

helleLuis Obispo, CA

r Michelle:

el that New Years resolutions

erally create a self-fulllingphecy of failure for many ofIt is almost like we should use

me type of reverse psychologyourselves in order to achieve

these resolutions. I have found ahealthier approach that will sendyou down the path of success.

I say, weed your life garden.In the New Year. Eliminate thosethings in your life that cause youstress. Incorporate those peopleand things that give you delight.If your New Years resolutionalways centers around losingweight, try this year to eliminatethe behaviors that cause youto gain excess weight. Createhealthier lifestyle habits.

When we weed our life garden,we make room for fresh newpeople and things to enter ourlives. The key word is new. Itis a new year. Give yourself the

gift of living the life you havedreamed of. Rememberyouare the captain of your ship.

Happy New Year!

Dear Christina:

How can I get my 13-year-olddaughter to open up to me andtalk? Every time I try to get into adeep conversation with her, shecloses up and gets defensive.The teenage years can be a very

pivotal time in a girls life. I justwant my daughter to alwayscome to me and feel comfortabletalking to me. I want her totrust me and conde in me.

DougSan Luis Obispo, CA

Dear Doug:

The rst thing you need to do

is let your daughter know thatyou can relate to the challengesshe is facing at this age. Startby oering a personal story andshare something about yourself.Maybe there is a co-worker youare having problems gettingalong with. You could share thisstory with her, along with yoursolution for how to deal with thesituation.

At the end of your conversation,

be sure to thank your daughterfor listening. She will probablysense the opportunity that youhave created for her to talkwith you. She will feel like youconded in her, and this can openthe door for her to conde inyou. While building meaningfulcommunication with your teen-ager, you must remember tomaintain the delicate balancebetween being the parent andthe friend.
