American Journal of Psychiatry Backpeddles
Transgender surgery provides no mental health benefit
 From Public Discourse, "The American Journal of Psychiatry has issued a major correction to a recent study. The Bränström study reanalysis demonstrated that neither 'gender-affirming hormone treatment' nor 'gender-affirming surgery' reduced the need of transgender-identifying people for mental health services. Fad medicine is bad medicine, and gender-anxious people deserve better."
>>>>> READ MORE HERE.
Julaine Appling, WFA president, says, "I’m glad for the correction, but they should have gotten it right the first time. One of the take-aways from this is that parents especially need to know these hormone treatments and surgeries do not improve the mental and emotional issues that comes with gender confusion. And by the way it’s way past time to stop calling these so-called treatments 'gender-affirming.' That’s a lie that helps no one."

Good Morning, Sunshine!
After the more relaxed schedules of the summer, fall brings with it, at least for many, weekday mornings where everyone needs to be up at a certain time in order to get to school or work. The temptation to hit the snooze button on the alarm becomes very real. However, scientists say resisting that temptation is better for our  health and can get our day off to a much better start, an effect that will actually continue throughout the day. Parents can help build good habits into their children by insisting they get up on the first mom-or-dad wake-up call or the first alarm.
Mornings should also be a time of spiritual discipline for Christians as we train ourselves to make God the focus of our first thoughts, thanking Him for a new day and giving ourselves to Him for whatever He has for us that day. These physical and spiritual disciplines will pay big dividends in our lives and should be consciously taught to the next generations.
Click HERE and HERE for some refreshing and helpful ideas on how parents can build good habits into their children, and themselves!
