Child Having Trouble Reading? Test this First!

Dr. Carol Zuccone, the Irlen representative explains this fairly common light sensitivity. Often there is a fairly easy remedy too. She tells us what mothers and teachers might look for. She says that it is educators that test for this, and so it gets overlooked by other professionals, but if this light sensitivity is not ruled out, then other tests are skewed.

Next week we will wrap up our series on what to do when the road to reading becomes rocky with an interview from Jennifer Sangave of Lindamood-Bell. It is absolutely amazing what they do. They help so many children who know one else could help.

After that I plan to post again the Dani Johnson episode on protecting our children from porn, since it was so enormously popular. Please plan to share your ideas, since social media protection has become so much more needed now than when she spoke with us.

We are Christians and therefore friends of Jews

Today I am re-airing an interview with a man, David Rubin, who has started a therapy center for children who are victims of terrorism in Israel. He lives in Shiloh, the place where Eli and Samuel ministered at the historical Tabernacle, but what was bare ground before a few RVs came in to settle — in what is now called “The West Bank.” Mr. Rubin did this in response to he and his two year old being shot up while attempting to go to a dentist appointment.

My Jewish friends are uncomforatable and ask: all children? Yes, all children. He takes in any child who has been a victim, without regard to religion or ethnicity. Although… well, it just wouldn’t be politically correct to point out that snipers shooting kids comes from only one angle.

His two year old was shot through the throat. Every child in town at that time knew of a sibling or a friend who had been shot. It is hard to go to places like the dentist or doctor, out of town, for them, therefore. Mr. Rubin was the 1,000th person in the hospital and so was interviewed. He chose to use the random tragedy and platform for good.

Today I want to mention also, that someone took a look at my business card and informed me that because I used the word “Shalom” therefore I am not a Christian. Folks, this is ignorance gone to seed! First off, I use the word “shalom” because my foundational scripture is Isa 54:13 All your offspring shall be taught of the Lord and great shall be their shalom.” I could say “well-being” or “peace” in English, but that would not give the whole meaning. Shalom encompasses everything. 2) Christians use Hebrew scripture, btw, and we call it “The Old Testament.” Not everybody likes this, but everybody knows it. So it is reasonable for an educated Christian to know Hebrew and use a few Hebrew words. 3) All Christians should be friendly to Jews because Christianity came out of Hebrew roots. 4) There are some people who call themselves “Messianic” who are actually Judiazers. We have some of those in Austin. I know some. We had some in Galatia and other places where Paul writes. We are clear that Paul wrote Galatians and Corinthians and that the text is not corrupt. We know this. Just because I use the word Shalom does not mean I am a Judiazer. BTW, I am friendly with them, even if I disagree doctrinally.

So, if you don’t follow all of this, fine, don’t worry about it. If you do, then you understand. The Great Shalom Broadcast tries to be friendly to everybody, and respect a wide variety of Christian traditions, even Jewish traditions, although we do strongly preach faith and miraculous healing, along with intelligent health practices. It is my position that faith and intelligence can go together. Please come along with me on that.

In the meantime, I hope you appreciate Mr. Rubin’s work for children.

Here is Help for Trauma – New Method Especially Helps Children

Dr. Lendell Braud, Ph.D. has a scientifically tested but fun way to help people with trauma, especially children. Whyen she discovered that many of the children she was working with had learning disabilities, she innovated a new form of therapy, using visual imagery –rather than talk therapy. It turned out that the visual images worked very well. Since then, Dr. Braud has offered many scientific papers on this new method. This advance is very hopeful not only for so many children who are traumatized but also for many people who have not found help in the usual talk therapy. She had many years of experience with children especially, has had a career teaching at the university level, and has contributed to scientific knowledge. Today she talks with us on a level that anyone can understand and make use of.

For more information, please go to her new website: createanimagetherapy.com.

If you are interested in contacting her for counseling, she is available in Conroe, Texas. If you are a counselor/therapist and would like to be trained in her method, please contact her at 936-447-4404 to join her list so she can let you know when/where she will next be offering a training in her method.
