How Healthy Are You?

If you're anything like me, you make sure your child is taken care of, setting up doctor's appointments in a timely manner and take him to the doctor when his fever is high, his cough lingers too long or something just doesn't seem right.

If you're anything like me, you haven't been to the doctor yourself for quite some time. So, how do you know if you're healthy then? What preventative measures can you take to make sure you remain strong and healthy so you can continue to take care of your child?

With a better general awareness of health, fitness, and nutrition, many people may feel that they are staying on track in doing what they need to in order to stay healthy. If you would like to see how you measure up, then take a few online quizzes and tests to see what you know and learn how you can keep yourself healthy and fit.

With categories including women’s health, men’s health, children’s and teen health, specific health issues, fitness, nutrition, and more, you will find plenty of quizzes to ensure you are on the right track with you and your family’s health. Remember, though, that these quizzes never substitute for a visit to your doctor.

How Sexually Experienced Are You?

Mingle2 - How Sexually Experienced Are You?15

I took the above quiz to determine how my sexual experience compares to those my age. It was interesting to see the results. While I am not a member of Mingle2, I do think it's a fabulous site to find information and humorous dating cartoons, such as 9 Reasons Not to Date a Tyrannosaurus Rex. A new on line friend, @SeanMarler, introduced me to the site, which is definitely a dating site for those who don't take themselves - or life - too seriously.

Here are the stats that might be of interest to you as far as who is more sexually experienced (on average):

Temperament

Since I'm teaching a parenting workshop this summer on Temperament, I've been looking into resources and information to help me prepare. I'm teaching this same course in two different locations, one in Vista, the other in La Mesa.

While the course will help parents identify nine different temperaments and teach them skills to manage them, there is always need to point out real life discussions and articles that focus on this same topic.

According to a study conducted at the University of Chicago, the temperament of an infant can predict future behavior (and behavior problems). The findings of this study, published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, claim "that interventions focusing on parenting during the first year of life would be beneficial in preventing future child conduct problems."

Take this online quiz to learn a bit more about your child's temperament and your reaction to his or her personality.

What Utensil Are You?

I haven't posted a personality quiz for quite a while and I absolutely loved this one. Both the subject matter - utensils - and my result (chopsticks) put a smile on my face so I hope it does the same for you.

My result:

You Are Chopsticks

People see you as exotic, unusual, and even a bit intimidating. You are a difficult person to figure out. In truth, you try to live a very simple life. But most people are too frenzied to recognize the beauty of your simplicity.

This time of year, when happy couples are getting ready to celebrate Valentine's Day, it can also be a sad reminder of love gone wrong for those who will be spending February 14th alone.

Hopeless Romantic

I discovered this quiz on the Psychology Today website. Here is my result:

According to your score, you are a bit of a hopeless romantic. Rose petals, poignant poetry, tall glasses of wine, touching moments, and sweet words are all loving gestures that you enjoy receiving as well as offering. Romance is fairly important to you, and likely an aspect that you consider fundamental in relationships. Keep in mind however, that problems may arise if you are with someone who really isn’t the romantic type. If you look forward to Valentine's Day to express your love and your partner doesn't even acknowledge it as a special day, you might end up feeling neglected or your efforts unappreciated. Nevertheless, even if your partner isn't as romantically inclined as you are, try to be appreciative of his/her efforts when she/he does try to woo you. Some people aren’t comfortable displaying their affection in screamingly obvious ways, but this doesn’t mean that they don’t care – they simply prefer to be more subtle.

" You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. " - Henry Drummond

" Romance is about the little things. " - Gregory J. Godeck

" Romance, like the rabbit at the dog track, is the elusive, fake, and never attained reward which, for the benefit and amusement of our masters, keeps us running and thinking in safe circles. " - Beverly Jones

" When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving oneself, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance. " - Oscar Wilde
