OPINION &
COMMENT
Facing the Realities
The Arab riots of the past five weeks, on the part of
Israeli Arabs as well as the Palestinians, and including
consistent attacks on Israelis and their positions with
guns, Molotov cocktails and boulders, has been a shock and
created new facts on the ground, no less than settlements.
HOME & FAMILY
The Power of Attention
by Masha Wolf, M.A., Child Therapist
Children of all ages live and thrive on parental love and
attention. When children feel they are not getting the
attention they crave, they will often go to any extent to
get it. Children craving attention will seek negative
attention if they find it easier to get than positive
attention. Negative attention can be even more intense and
exciting for a child in need than positive attention.
