Its partly a reaction to the happiness of the season, and partly a responae to the heavy dose of marketing we fact at this time of year. For adults, feeling like kid again can certainly be enjoyable, as long as we realise that there are limits. As adults, we usually allow this transformation to go only so for before we remind ourselves that, this too, shall pass. Its almost impossible not to become a hit jaded as we mature. Our life experiences have taught us that allowing our dreams and wishes to run wild for too long only increase! our disappointment when we finally have to face the reality ofour everyday lives. Kids, however, usually dont have that problem. They engage in fantasies with reckless abandon. At this time oftM year they easily fantasise about owningthe season's hot" toy, something they just cant live without. They beg parents for it, imagining it will make them the envy of all their friends. And. often, in their innocent hut highly manipulative ways, our children are pretty good at making us feel guilty if we doot get it for them. It's easy to end up feeling a we have let out hide down and beyond that, that we are a bad parent. However. thats not erealistk evaluation. Kids, thraughTV, movies and. -- books, bate a way oT floating from walitytofentasy and backapun much more readily than adults. This is normal human development and not a Pig? matter ofconcern. In fact, this ability to play, to imagine, is the root of creativity. It provides children with the skill of aeeingthings from different points of view... a skill many adults could use from time to time. However, one awkward (all out of this floating back and forth is that kids will often ask, and sometimes demand that we buy them a particular toy to help them live out their fantasy. Family conflicts occur when they have trouble leering the world at the fantasy and precise moment when we, as adults, want them to. Asa parent, you may have a legitimate reasons why a particular request can't be met, but for the child looking to (UlfUI the fantasy, that harsh dose of adult reality has little or no meaning. Hence we neve a disappointed child and a parent who feels he or she is responsible for the disappointment- - a feeling that no parent enjoys. As adults, we often try to snap the child back into reality with a statement such as, That toy is tooexpen-siv- e. But such a response can make for escalated tension. Rather than bringing the child back to reality, it mqy just make the child linger harder to the fantasy of how wonderful it i would he to have that toy . Voices may rise and tears may flow as the child sees the parents making what teems to he an unfair decision. One way to work around Ihetai problems is to allow the child to bold this fantasy and to show you do un -- --- H Score one for exasperated women: New research suggests men really do listan with justhalf their brains. In a study of 20 men and 20 women, brain acana showed that men when listening mostly used the left idee oftheir brains, the region long associated with understanding language. Women in the study, however, used both sides. Other studies here suggested that women "can handle listening to two conversations at once, said Dr. Joseph T. Lurilo, an assistant radiology profeasor at Indiana University School of Medicine. One of tho reasons may bo that they have more brain devoted to it. Lurito's finding, presented Tuesday at the Radiological Society of North Americas annual meeting, dont necessarily mean women are better listeners. It could be that ita harder for them, Lurilo suggested, since they apparently need louse more of their brains than men todo the same task. 1 derstand Saying something like, To have that toy would be really fUn wouldn't it! or, What is it that you like about that toy ? or, What would you do if you had it? can help the child eryoy the fantasy without giving into the demandBy not resisting the fantasy, you allow the child to return to reality at his or her own ticipanta wore headphones and listened to taped excerpts from John Grisham's novel The Partner while researchers watched blood-floimages of their brains, displayed on a nearby video screen. Listening resulted in increased blond flow to tho left temporal lobes of the men's brains. In women, both temporal lobes showed activity. The findings tend to support previous suggestions that women's brains are "either more bilaterally dominant" or more right-sid- e dominant in doing certain tasks than men's, said Dr. Edgar Kenton o fths American Stroke Association,! neurologist of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Though preliminary, the etudy could help doctors treating stroke victims better understand how men's and womens brains differ, Kenton said. It suggest that in s stroke side, women might w recover language ability more quickly then men, though that remains to be proven, Kenton said. Utah bucks national don't want a battle of the exes, he said. "I just want people to realize that men and women may process language differently.
