At SUWS of the Carolinas, we understand that childrens limiting emotional beliefs and destructive behavior is the outcome of poor family cohesion. For this we provide parenting resources at our center to help them tackle the situation. Family therapy programs are run to let them connect with the experience their children are getting in the SUWS summer wilderness camps. These family therapy programs provide safe environment for parents to get individual care treatment and learn parenting skills. Different parenting resources like genograms, experiential activities, and communication techniques are used in these workshops. The summer wilderness camps give individual care treatment apart from various common activities and counseling sessions.
In the summer wilderness camps, each child is given individual care treatment and they are treated according to their family dynamics. These summer wilderness camps involve various situations in which children are left to response spontaneously and develop challenge facing skills. Furthermore, individual care treatment is given to them by certified therapists. Improvement of behavioral disorders also depends on family connection with the children. To make it realize, we also run family therapy programs and use different parenting resources. These parenting resources help the parents to understand and relate to their child. Family therapy programs have proved to be very successful.
Children and adolescents who feel socially isolated and experience behavioral disorders can join our summer wilderness camps with lots of activities and individual care treatment. Their particular disorder will be addressed in the individual care treatment by the therapist as well their behavioral improvements will definitely be appreciated in the summer wilderness camps. We try to shape the future of your kids with your involvement through the family therapy programs that uses a lot of parenting resources to help to plan your particular action plan specific to your family situation. Parents use parenting resources to learn different skills in these family therapy programs.
The family therapy programs culminate with graduation. After this a one-day seminar is organized using parenting resources to prepare the parents unite with their children and appreciate the transition in them during summer wilderness camps. The use of parenting resources during family therapy programs rediscovers the parenting skills in parents who find it difficult to address their specific family situations. In summer wilderness camps the children get to mingle socially and learn to communicate and behave in a group. Individual care treatment is given to them by therapist and regular follow ups and done to enhance the positive outcome of individual care treatment.

When it comes to glamour and beauty, few families have influenced Hollywood more than the Factors. Behind the makeup, however, is a tradition of philanthropy.
Max Factor founded Max Factor & Co. at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904 before moving to Los Angeles, where he launched his theatrical makeup and wig shop, eventually working with stars like Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, Claudette Colbert, and Bette Davis.
As Factor laid the groundwork for what eventually would become a global brand, his family took root in Hollywood society. Dorothy Levinson still recalls one particular wedding reception where the Factors and Levinsons were guests. She was only 7, but she remembers dancing with the youngest of Factor’s four sons. Sidney pushed little Dorothy around the dance floor on a chair. “They talked about getting married,” says her son Max Factor III.
Ten years later, as young adults, Dorothy and Sidney reconnected. They fell in love and launched a romantic 65-year marriage. “They had a very loving and happy marriage,” says their son, an attorney in Southern California. “They were lovers, best friends, best supporters. Some people have the resilience and wisdom to figure out solutions to the challenges we all face, and they found those solutions.”
By 1938, Sidney’s brother — Max Factor Jr. — was running the cosmetics company. Sidney, with an easy fluency in new languages, was in charge of international markets and led expansion into Canada, Australia, South America and Japan. He retired in 1962. The Factor family sold the business in 1973, and Proctor & Gamble subsequently acquired it.
A tradition of sharing and “giving back” has always been important to the Factors. Dorothy and Sidney quietly supported friends and colleagues through college and hospital stays. On a broader level, the Max Factor Family Foundation supports medical research, patient health care, scholarships, human rights, care of the eldery, and assistance to the disabled. Family members serve on the boards of several hospital and cancer research organizations, including the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. “They helped us build a playground,” Jeanne Gerson, of the Julia Ann Singer Center for disabled and abused children in West Los Angeles, told The Jewish Journal when Sidney Factor died in 2005. “He was a very generous man and very interested in the children.”
That tradition continues four years after Sidney’s death at age 89.
Items from Dorothy & Sidney Factor and Max Factor III – including jewelry and works by artists such as Edouard-Leon Cortes (1882-1969), Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004), and Arman (1928-2005) — are featured in jewelry, decorative art and contemporary art auctions being held by Dallas-based Heritage Auctions (www.HA.com). The events are scheduled for May 3, May 26 and June 9, 2010. One item, a diamond mounted on a platinum ring, could fetch up to $175,000.
All proceeds will benefit charities such as the USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Julia Ann Singer Center/Baron School for Exceptional Children, the Beverly Hills Education Foundation, and the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles.
“I’m doing this for my husband, for the charities and scholarships he loved, so that his name will continue on outside the family for generations,” says Dorothy Factor. “I want him to be remembered as a person — he was a very special man — and we’re going to give every bit of the proceeds to charity.”

When we consider the possibilities of our teens getting involved with illicit substances, we tend to think of illegal drugs like marijuana or alcohol. But kids are not immune to the enticements of various prescriptions, like those for intense pain medications. And if you are not handling your pills properly, you could be endangering your family.
So what is the alternative? Some tips conveyed from experts can be useful.
When you or your spouse are prescribed medication, make sure to learn about it. Discuss potential side effects with your pharmacist, as well as what to do in the event of an overdose. This is good information to have regardless.
Follow all dosage instructions carefully. Use a pill box organized by days of the week to keep track of your regular dosing schedule. You may even want to count your pills to be sure that you are on track–and that none are missing for other reasons.
Child-protective caps on bottles are meant to keep little ones from mistakenly consuming dangerous drugs, but you may want to take another measure by placing a lock on the medicine cabinet, keeping them out of reach in your own personal space, or even carrying them on your person when possible (in your purse, for example).
If you have leftover pills, don’t throw them away or flush them. Instead, ask your doctor or pharmacist about accommodations for disposal in your neighborhood.
Do you fear that your teen already has a problem with pills? Do your research on an addiction treatment program that specializes in this challenge. Your child’s life doesn’t have to be ruined. He or she–and your family–can move on.
Life-Line Utah is a addiction treatment program has been providing a lifeline for teens and their families. (http://www.utahteencounseling.com)

Reading stories and short poems for kids aloud to your children is a critical step in teaching your child to read, but it has a wonderful hidden benefit as well. When you take the time to read to your children you are taking time with them, with no distractions, no cell phone, no computer, no TV. You are showing them that they are an important priority for you. They will love that special time with you, no matter their age.
Many of our read aloud story times have led to some great heart to heart discussions. Reading stories together gives us time to slow down and a reason to talk about things that maybe we wouldn’t on a day to day basis. Stories are a wonderful way to teach life lessons, reinforce good choices, model positive morals and open the door to talk about life’s difficulties such as sickness or death, dating or peer pressure.
As your children get older and you move into more challenging reading material they will benefit greatly from the discussions that will arise during your story time. Keep communication lines open with your children by simply reading to them. The relationship and communication that your family read aloud times will establish can carry you through what could be some very tough teenage years.
There is simply something magical about stories. We are all drawn into them, no matter our age. Sometimes my older child doesn’t feel like joining in our reading times because he’s too busy listening to music or on his iPod, but inevitably, as we get into the story he is drawn into the room from wherever he was. He can’t help but listen – and usually sits down with us to hear the rest of the story.
Institute a story night in your home this week, and if your older children roll their eyes at you just smile, they will learn to love that special time with you.
