Mingling Create Happy Old Age

Playing with the grandchildren is nice, but that's not what makes the Opa and Oma happy. Stay socially active and have many friends and of course have a life partner is considered more happy. At least for the elderly people in the UK.

In a survey of 279 retirees in the United Kingdom mentioned that having grandchildren is proud, but there are positives and negatives through old age surrounded by his grandchildren.

"The upside of having a child grandchildren funds will add purpose and meaning in life, but when most of the time have to keep the grandchildren would destroy the freedom and autonomy which is at the core of retirement," said Oliver Robinson, a researcher from the University of Greenwich, England.

The respondents involved in the survey were taken from the site retirees. They were asked to fill out questioners about family, friends and their activities in retirement. They were also asked to rate their own happiness scale.

When compared between Opa and Oma who have children and grandchildren with a no, there was no difference in the life satisfaction scale. The difference is with friendship and social life that they have assessed more bring happiness in old age.

And experts say the retired elderly who are often trapped in the sense of loneliness. That's why sociable and socially active is considered to meet psychological needs. "People who have a community of friendship in old age have a purpose and feel more able to hone their skills, if the community involve skill," said Robinson.

Meaning having peers (peer) is not only felt by the teenagers. In every stage of age, we will feel better understand the stages of life friends are we live. "Social support also gives us," added Robinson.

Apart from peers, spouses also considered very important to increase life satisfaction in old age. Research has shown that senior citizens are widowed or divorced, never married, divorced, or even feel his life less happy.

Stingy Do not Say Thank You

Sometimes little things just make your relationship and your partner even closer. For example, thanked each other. By saying thank you, our sense of satisfaction to the couple will also increase.

Expression of gratitude and thanks, if delivered with sincerity, will increase the strength of a relationship. According to Nathaniel Lambert, an expert in psychology in the journal Psychological Science.

"When we express gratitude to someone, we will increasingly focus on the good things people have done it to us. This will make us more focused on positive things in your relationship and he was," said Lambert.

In a study conducted Lambert is known, the majority of respondents who expressed gratitude to the people they feel closest relationships become stronger. "People who get gratitude also be moved to do the same thing," he said.

Lambert explained, in today's modern life, we tend to dwell on personal gain. "We are often looking for what people do for us yet. This is where the importance of a thank you because he can turn a negative into a positive focus," he said.

Well, how about you, what thank have become scarce in life with a partner?

Mother and Daughter

Apparently quite a lot of mother-whether consciously or not-is the main critics for his daughter. That caused her maiden difficult to cultivate a sense of pride and love of self, leaving a hole big emptiness that can not understand how to fill them.

The main critics

R, 26 yrs, routinely write any upset and argued with her mother.

1. Relations I and Mom is still a negative nuance. I'm hooked every time mama way or the story, I will give input on mama. Then mama angry, go ballistic, and immediately said I was wicked, insolent, wicked religion but even so, unlike baseball as a kid I used to never resist or revolt.

2. The more often be with Mom, I'm always the source of anger and quarreling mama. Would it be better if I stay away from mama. What is often thought of was to get out of the house, nge-boarding. Hu-hu-hu ... I was so scared mama with a behavior, can be angry all-out until I was screaming cursing, throwing things, then not long later, apologized and blamed himself. What happened, I became involved follow-up crushed, such as low- then stroked again, where the meaning of love which should I take? "

Women "object"?

Some young women talked about the mother who commented negatively about your body, clothes, make-up is chosen ("very fat, watch out it will be an item, like that dress, grooming, dong"). Or assess her maiden from romance with men ("men like that taken away, if so how can the appearance of behavior, when going out, mama ashamed you have not yet married!").

The other with tears in his eyes said he wanted to jump off the bus just because her mother does not care about the difficulties of his life. In fact, no less (which was carried out of their mother and father) who was forced to check her Hymen since been caught having sex with a girlfriend (somehow nuanced violence or not). Then father and mother is urging doctors to perform surgery hymen ("I do not want my child was known already 'damaged'"; "shame on the candidate besan later"). In fact, it is clear hymen surgery form of lying.

It must be the mother who made her maiden outcry was very fond of children, but most likely caught in a very stereotipik views about women. It seems the main themes of the show is to make sure kids can run the stereotypical role of women as "objects look" and "object needs" of men.

Must be beautiful, slim, likes men, have (prospective) spouses are okay, should be sexually attractive as well as obligations to maintain the "purity". When the "virginity" lost it almost like the end, who cared not how to provide support and reinforcement in children, but instead more and drop it in a ravine.

These mothers do not realize how their behavior is destroying confidence daughters. Man, women and men need to be respected with the dignity of humanity-utuhnya entirely, not just on the body is reduced, let alone mere "merchandise" is sold or not sold, damaged or still "new." Maybe it's not too painful when the stigma is given by the outside society, but when the parents themselves-are ideally become the largest source of emotional support for child-injury may be brought up to old age.

Mother of "injury"

The young woman may be able to start managing pain when understanding the mother may care for, but do not know how. Perhaps he had also become a highly charged figure of "objects". Just fill the horizon so that the mother's understanding. Maybe they believe to be beautiful and fulfilling the needs of the man's main source of happiness of women, become tense and very worried if their children fail to meet the demands of this role.

It is possible that the mother had a lot of his own inner wounds, either with his mother in the past, or with her husband, which resulted in chaos feelings about themselves. Then, the chaos that feeling was projected onto his daughter. Like the R stories:

"She suffered in her marriage life. Always sacrifice and relented from Dad, that's why, he said, I must oppose if mama baseball talk. Must listen. Mama always swore would never again curse the same story if I need to break up aja deh. But again, mom would the story again whatever it was, from the poor rude behavior, or behavior that often undermine the money made destitute. "Moreover, his mother also must have patience to bear the negative comments sisters of his father, who assess the mother is "less classy".

Perhaps pain will also be reduced if understood that the mother did not reflect the lack or bad things about children, but reflects the limitations and the wounds of the mother herself. Meanwhile, who missed his mother, who did not care, maybe can look for other female figures who can replace the role of mother to give guidance and coolness.

To be sure, the girl is not merchandise, but the man is very valuable in their own uniqueness. In the end, I hope the mothers and prospective mothers, and fathers and prospective fathers understand, if you want a positive reception from the children, affection and guidance should be shown in positive language. Sentences like: "mama glad see you wear it"; "there is still one tiknya anyway, but you are very good writing" feels soothing and definitely will develop self-acceptance.

HIV Transmission from Mother to Infants always increase

HIV transmission from mother to infant tends to increase steadily over the increasing number of women with HIV in Indonesia. Although the prevalence data of HIV transmission from mother to baby is still limited, but the trend of transmission will continue to rise because the number of HIV positive pregnant women tend to increase.

Thus disclosed Deputy Assistant Regional Development of the National AIDS Commission Good Rahmat Prabowo in discussion "The Importance of Providing Access to HIV / AIDS Prevention of Mother to Child (Prevention-Mother-To-Child-Transmission/PMTCT-)" which was held in Bandung Frisian Flag Indonesia , on Wednesday (01/12/2010).

Good explains, from about 4.5 million pregnancies in Indonesia every year, an estimated 25 percent raises risk of HIV transmission from mother to baby. Estmasi This can be seen from the HIV screening data obtained from PMTCT services.

"Data in 2008 showed that the number of pregnant women who test for HIV as many as 5167 people, of which 1306 (25%) of them HIV positive," he said.

Good adds, until 2008, has been available PMTCT services to 30 services are integrated in the MCH services (antenatal care). PMTCT programs have also been adopted by several institutions of society, especially for outreach and expand access to PMTCT services.

Increased number of HIV positive pregnant women, continued Good, makes the need for PMTCT services will increase. Based on the results of projections and modeling of the HIV epidemic, the number of positive pregnant women who need PMTCT services will increase from 5730 persons in 2010 to 8170 people in 2014.

On the same occasion, Dr. Reni Ghrahani of Allergy Immunology Division Staff Section of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Padjadjaran states, prevention becomes very important because every pregnant women with HIV / AIDS to their babies at risk of transmitting 25 to 45 percent. The risk of transmission when the mother has appeared in a state of pregnancy, during childbirth until later when breastfeeding their babies.

"Poor people's knowledge related to transmission and prevention of HIV / AIDS to make Indonesia as the fastest country in the spread of HIV / AIDS in Asia. The worse the condition of the mother, risk of transmission to infants will increase. The process of delivery by Caesarean section and do not give milk to babies from mothers with HIV / AIDS can reduce the risk of transmission to 35 percent, "he said.

Meanwhile, Corporate Communications Manager Frisian Flag Indonesia (FFI) Anton Susanto, confirms it is committed to improving nutrition and public health, especially children.

For this reason, the FFI has commenced involvement in the partnership program to provide access to HIV prevention from mother to child (PMTCT) in Bandung since March 2009. FFI has teamed up with the KPA, Bandung, West Java Commission for Health (KUJBS) and several nongovernmental organizations to help the PMTCT program through the provision of counseling and monitoring support to mothers with HIV / AIDS.

"We are aware that in several countries has shown that preventive action through PMTCT programs can reduce the risk of transmission rates significantly," he said.

For his support of the PMTCT program in Bandung since two years ago, FFI receives award from Bandung City Government. Award presented by Mayor Dada Rosada coincide with World AIDS Day.
