One possible reason for this phenomenon is that stepfathers tend to be less engaged with stepdaughters than with stepsons. The effect of remarriage on children is much the same as divorce because it involves a fundamental restructuring of the family concept. Nevertheless, stepparents who work to engage with their stepchildren can develop positive relationships overtime.

the proper decision making process begins by
defining the problem to be solved *Too often students start working on potential solutions before the problem has been fully articulated. This leads to half-measures and ineffective decisions. Only after the problem has been solved and outlined in its entirety should possible solutions e considered. It is a good idea to write down these options. When possible, the emphasis should be on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. In some cases, it may be determined that there is not information to make an informed decision. If this is the case, either information should be collected or, if this is possible the decision maker should figure out a strategy for mitigating the problem.

Goals for the person with diabetes are based on all of the following except:

A group will often make more extreme decisions that any one member would make independently. This phenomenon is known as
group polarization -Management experts believe that this is due to the desire for conformity and the subsequent reinforcement of whatever solutions are first suggested. Rather than critique another group member and create disharmony, participants will often go along and event amplify the first opinion given. -Organizational conflict can actually be a healthy things, since it indicates that views are being openly aired. -Social facilitation is a phenomenon in which the presence of others encourages a person to work harder. -Group think is similar to group polarization, except it does not necessarily result in extreme decisions. Groupthink is the suppression of reason in the interest of maintaining group cohesion. - Social loafing is a phenomenon in which people do not work as hard in a group, often bc they feel their contribution will not be respected.

Typically, the total amount of time spent at work stays the same. For instance, a compressed work week consists of 4 ten hour days. There is not any demonstrated correlation b/w a compressed work week and employee performance. However, employees who have a long commute are generally very enthusiastic about irrelevant to employees who work from home.
when making a schedule, children should be encouraged to
include free time, place the hardest tasks first *However, children should not be encouraged to block out long stretches for completing all homework bc this would be too vague. One of the hallmarks of an effective schedule is specificity, so large categories like homework should be broken down into smaller tasks. At the least, the child should divide homework into subjects, and may even be necessary to subdivide subjects into a particular tasks. It is important, however, for a schedule to include some free time bc interruptions are inevitable. If a schedule too rigid, the student is likely to become discouraged when he or she is unable to meet it. Also, is it a good idea to place the hardest tasks first, since the student will have the highest energy and mental resources then.
