Success with the new bedtime program will depend on your teen’s temperament as well as your conviction that learning how to get up is an important responsibility for your child. Some parents don’t mind waking their kids up five times; others see it as a real manipulation on the part of their child to avoid getting up on time and taking responsibility. Either way, older kids are also welcome to have their lights on for an hour before bedtime, during which time they can read. Again, that’s going to help them wind down, calm down and get them ready to sleep. I think that each parent can go through the process of elimination with different variables and see what works best for their family.

With this, it is important to prevent early interventions from causing (young) athletes to think they are the issue of being at risk of experiencing sexual violence. The goal of these interventions is to change the standards of the sports environment in which athletes participate in sports. In other words, the climate in sports should be developed on a pedagogical base to positively contribute to the athlete’s health, well-being and social cohesion in which resilience can be (further) developed. Once a positive athlete-centred climate is present, athletes can participate in sports with a caring and safe foundation. Ultimately, the climate serves as a protective factor for at-risk athletes experiencing sexual violence in sports. A positive, caring and safe sports climate is essential for the healthy development of young people. One of the responsibilities of parties involved in organised sports is to create a safe sports climate, but in practice, difficulties in creating such a climate are still experienced nowadays.

A sensory diet is a program of activities that’s usually designed by an occupational therapist to help kids get the input their bodies need. Autistic people sometimes exhibit sensory dysfunction, or the inability for their proprioceptive and vestibular systems to correctly process information. This can have negative effects on attention and emotional regulation.

Providing Tools for a Lifetime of Learning

Athletes acting upon the needs of others without benefitting themselves are displaying altruistic behaviours. Athletes in the study by van Voorthuizen et al. [16] described their altruistic behaviour as being ready for others at the expense of themselves; they ignored themselves and felt the need to help others. Despite altruistic actions being taken with their best intent, it results in greater proneness to experiencing sexual violence. This is — based on a consequentialist perspective — due to an imbalance of costs and benefits for the two individuals involved [36]. The costs are for the altruistic actor (i.e., the athlete) and the benefits for the receiver (i.e., the perpetrator of sexual violence).

The third step is to replace your limiting or negative belief with an empowering and positive one. Staying with the distrust example above again, you could tell yourself that most people are honest and have integrity. You let go of your old limiting belief, admit that it was false and limiting you, and you start believing in your heart and in your mind that people are generally honest by nature.
