Transparencies, negatives or printed photographs may also be digitized using a scanner, or images may be obtained from stock photography databases. With the advent of computers, graphics tablets, and digital cameras, the term image editing encompasses everything that can be done to a photo, whether in a darkroom or on a computer. Photo manipulation is often much more explicit than subtle alterations to color balance or contrast and may involve overlaying a head onto a different body or changing a sign’s text, for examples. Image editing software can be used to apply effects and warp an image until the desired result is achieved. The resulting image may have little or no resemblance to the photo (or photos in the case of compositing) from which it originated. Today, photo manipulation is widely accepted as an art form.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row vsc_row_type=”in_container” vsc_text_scheme=”lighter-overlay” vsc_bg_repeat=”no-repeat” vsc_bg_position=”center center” vsc_bg_size=”auto” full_width=”stretch_row_content” vsc_parallax=”” vsc_youtube_options=”” vsc_youtube_controls=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1424443479690{padding-bottom: 75px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” image=”1681″ img_size=”full” img_link_large=””][vc_column_text]
Phases
Parents find many habits and behaviors of their children annoying. When you want to change an unwanted behavior, it helps to first understand why your child is doing it. Often bad habits are just a coping strategy. Your child may fall back on these behaviors when they are stressed, bored, tired, frustrated, unhappy, insecure, or falling asleep. Many of these “bad” habits are calming and soothing to the child.
Most of the time, these behaviors are just “phases” or habits—not serious medical problems—and the child typically outgrows them. Managing them can be difficult, however. In general, you should ignore bad habits. Yelling, calling attention to the habit and punishment do not usually work to stop the behavior (and may even increase it!), but praise, positive rewards, and patience are likely to help.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” image=”1681″ img_size=”full” img_link_large=””][vc_column_text]
What are tics?
Tics are stereotyped behaviors (twitches or movements) that are frequently repeated. The movement can involve any body part. A facial tic, especially blinking the eyes, is the most common. Temporary tics are a habit that starts during childhood or the teen years, and might last anywhere from one month to a year. The child is able to suppress the tic voluntarily for minutes to hours. The tic may occur more frequently at certain times and not at others. They are fairly common.
Rarely, there are vocal tics or more complex tics, which suggest a more serious disorder called Tourette syndrome. If the tic occurs for longer than one year or the child cannot suppress it, it may be a sign of a more serious problem and needs evaluation by your child’s doctor.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
