Effects of Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) 2019 On Zodiac Signs
The effects of a solar eclipse can be good or bad in accordance with the placement of stars in your natal chart. In connection to the solar eclipse 2019, let us explore the impact that it may have on all the 12 zodiac signs.
How Does Solar Eclipse Impact Us Astrologically?
Astrologically, a solar eclipse can have a major effect on some, and on others, it can have a minor impact. Listed below are some of the astrological effects of the solar eclipse in 2019 on us.
A solar eclipse can prove to be good or bad for people. Few eclipses can bring in life-changing moments like marriage, birth of a baby, a promotion, a new job, etc. whereas some may not have a good effect and bring in bad times like death in the family, a divorce, developing health issues, surgery, etc.
Each eclipse is the end of a chapter in your life and the beginning of another. However, solar eclipses usually bring positive changes in your life, but one’s natal charts have to be consulted for one to confirm.
An eclipse may speed up major events in your life - marriage, relocating to a different country etc., which you may have planned for a few years later. The turn of events may be such that you are compelled to let go of your earlier plan and go with the present scenario.
Eclipses bring forth truths which you may not have known, and these truths may help you make some major decisions in life.
An eclipse is also instrumental in revealing some near one’s deepest, darkest secrets which may at that point be painful for you but on the other hand, can act as a boon.
If your partner leaves you during or after an eclipse, know for good that he will never come back to you. This is because whatever the turn of events the eclipse brings, it will never reverse.
Never ignore any news that you hear near the time of an eclipse. They are signals foretelling you of what is to come or what your future may hold.
Take care of your health whenever an eclipse falls within 5 days after your birthday. You also have to be cautious about your health if your birthday falls exactly six months from the time of the eclipse.
At times, a solar eclipse makes an important male member in your life leave you. It can be your husband, boyfriend leaving you or your boss quitting the job; it can be any male member who will bring a change in your life.
Usually, a particular eclipse is good for the sun signs that fall on the same element. For example, if an eclipse falls on Virgo (which has the earth element), it will be good for the sun signs having the same element, like Taurus and Capricorn.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) In Children
Oppositional Defiant Disorder or ODD stretches beyond simply bad behaviour. This is evident when a child loses control over his feelings, behaviour, and thoughts. He becomes non-cooperative and displays a rebellious attitude. Parenting a child with ODD then becomes a huge challenge and demands a professional diagnosis.
What Is Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)?
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a common behavioural disorder in children that leads to defiant and rebellious behaviour. It is defined by irritable moods, disobedience, and defiance against parents, teachers and other authority figures. The child refuses to do things he is asked to and reacts angrily or aggressively when forced to do it. He thinks the tasks instructed to him are not reasonable and hence refuses to carry them out.
How Common Is ODD In Kids?
Oppositional Defiant Disorder is known to affect young kids and children at an adolescent age too. Every one child out of 10 children below 12 years of age is said to be afflicted by ODD. The number of boys affected by ODD is twice that of the girls with ODD.
However, it is estimated that more than 2/3rd of kids affected by ODD overcome these behavioural changes as they grow in age. Also, children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder do not display a majority of these symptoms by the time they reach 18 years.
Causes
Various factors need to come together for a child to develop symptoms related to ODD. Research has been unable to narrow down one specific reason for the onset of Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Here are a few causes that could cause the development of ODD in children:
Physical causes: The presence of large amounts of certain brain chemicals are known to enhance ODD traits. The brain chemicals are known as neurotransmitters. An unusually large volume of these neurotransmitters can upset their balance. ODD can occur when the brain is unable to read the communication between various channels properly due to the abnormal volume of neurotransmitters.
Genetic causes: Children who are diagnosed with ODD often have a family history of different mental illnesses. Mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and personality illnesses are common amongst those found in such cases. This points to the fact that genetic components could lead to ODD in children as against those children who are not exposed to such genetic disorders.
Environmental causes: The environment in which the child grows up can prove to be a significant contributor to symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Homes, where domestic violence, arguments and fights are the order of the day, can prove to be fertile grounds for ODD growth. Children who grow up with friends and peers who are prone to violence or destructive behaviour can display tendencies that are related to ODD.
Sign & Symptoms
Contrary to popular belief, it is not only teenagers who can show a rebellious attitude. Your child could display signs of ODD before he could attain the age of eight. But the line between a strong-willed child and one who has ODD is quite subtle and is difficult to distinguish. Also, signs and symptoms of girls and boys could be different.
If you are keen to determine if your child has ODD or is being plain stubborn, check the following emotional and behavioural symptoms:
Vindictiveness: These children are quick to develop resentment towards others and can be spiteful towards others. Taking revenge on someone who has wronged them is on the top of their minds.
Ill-tempered moods: Children who are afflicted with ODD are extremely sensitive. They are easily annoyed and are quickly impacted by other’s actions. They could cry or get angry at the slightest provocation from others.
Do not own up: Kids with ODD are always finding someone else to blame for any of their negative actions. Not owning up to their mistakes and refusing to take responsibility for their actions are definitive symptoms of ODD in children.
Regular temper tantrums: The child remains angry throughout and loses his temper more than often. Keep a watch for unrelated outbursts and tantrums that come out of thin air.
Highly confrontational: ODD children find it easy to challenge and confront people in authority. Parents, teachers or protectors and creators of law are targets for arguments and fights.
Disrespectful of rules: Such children hate to follow the rules and are disrespectful towards them. They keep questioning the rules and are forever against those who try to implement them.
These signs and symptoms can be categorised as follows:
Cognitive Symptoms
Difficulty in concentrating
Does not think before speaking
Frustration
Psychosocial Symptoms
Losing self-esteem and confidence
Unable to make friends
Feeling annoyed
Negativity
Behavioural Symptoms
Deliberately acts in an annoying way
Hostile behaviour towards others
Does not compromise or negotiate with others
Destroys friendships readily
Seeks revenge over trivial matters
Does not obey rules
Always in a confrontational mood
Aversion to rules and hates authority figures
Blames others
Diagnosis
While diagnosing ODD, the doctor will have to understand the child’s complete medical history. He will also quiz you to get an insight into your child’s behaviour. The doctor will need information related to the duration of this behaviour, its pattern and a few incidents when you found the child’s behaviour disruptive. To understand if there is a physical cause of these behavioural symptoms, you can provide inputs about your kid’s physical health.
ODD specialists like therapists and psychologists are capable of handling ODD diagnosis. They often use questionnaires to supplement their diagnosis and collect details. By doing so, you will know if the child has been afflicted with ODD, or if he is reacting to a situation at home or school.
It is necessary to be open to the therapist, or the diagnosis may not be accurate. Give them a clear picture of the child’s social and emotional behaviour. Describe how he reacts to various situations at home, with friends or at school. This honesty will go a long way in making the right diagnosis and then begin the necessary treatment.
Risk Factors
The following risk factors could contribute to the occurrence of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and enhance its growth:
Family conflicts
Exposure to violence
Erratic nurturing as a child
Dysfunctional family life
Facing abuse or neglect as a child
Mental disorder within the family
Exposure to drug/substance abuse
Inconsistent interaction with parents
Unpredictable disciplinary levels
Complications Of Childhood Oppositional Defiant Disorder
If ODD is left untreated, it can cause a fair amount of stress and worry for parents. Apart from the effect on the family, the child will face some difficulties too. Therefore, an early diagnosis of his condition can help in preventing future complications in his/her life. These complications could be long term and short term and include the following:
Definite lack of confidence and self-esteem
Difficulties in studying and concentration
Expulsion from school
Drug/alcohol abuse and addiction
Anti-social behaviour
Disorderly Behaviour
Less or no friends
Poor communication skills
Legal problems
Severe criminal conduct
At times, children suffering from ODD could develop mental health issues like anxiety or mood disorders, language disorders, learning disorders and ADHD- Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder. The last mentioned is known to be a frequent companion with ODD. The therapist will learn about such added complications during the child’s diagnosis.
Treatment
Treatment for Oppositional Defiant Disorder includes long-term psychotherapy coupled with behavioural training for the child and family members. The method of treatment is dependent on the following factors:
The child’s behavioural symptoms
Intensity of ODD
The surrounding environment
Medications are not prescribed for ODD unless it is accompanied by any other mental issue or behavioural disorder.
The following types of treatments are recommended for children diagnosed with ODD:
Cognitive behavioural therapy: This is used to help the child develop problem-solving skills and apply them in daily life. Unwanted behaviour can be changed through this method, and the child learns to handle stressful situations competently.
Parent management training: Parents can deal with an ODD child and the situations that arise from it. They are taught the latest ways and methods of interacting with the child and deal with their problems. Family members like parents and siblings along with teachers are included in this training to give them better control over the situation.
Social skills training: ODD children, especially adolescents need social skills training so that they can do better while interacting with peers. It teaches them how to perform better at school. Such training is a part of group activities and is conducted in an open environment.
Medication: When ODD is accompanied by conditions like ADHD or mood/anxiety disorders, medication forms an important part of the treatment. It helps control severe cases of ODD and prevents any further growth.
Activities For Children With ODD
Activities and games are at the top of the list when it comes to modifying your child’s behaviour. Although it may be difficult for you to get him to join, you could try the following activities:
Problem-solving sessions for learning collaboration. The child will learn to trust and respect you through this.
Role plays give the child a different perspective on the existing situation. Let the child take over your role while you enact his.
Give your child a chance to cool down when he gets defiant. Ask him to speak only when he has cooled down. This will teach him to control his anger and refrain from reacting.
Use exercise sheets to help your child deal with various emotions. It will help channelise emotions like anger and revenge.
Play fun games where the child has to do the exact opposite of the instructions you give. They score points when they do so, and this helps one to look at ODD in a fun way.
How Can You Help Your Child?
As a parent, you are entirely empowered to help your child to deal with ODD. The following things can make life better for your child and help them get rid of the disorder:
Work on your relationship with your child and reiterate the fact that he/she is of paramount importance to you. Spend quality time with him and give undivided attention to underline the fact that he matters most.
Praise encourages positive behaviour. Use it effectively to enhance such behaviour on a regular basis. For every negative comment that you use, give six positive comments. Refrain from threats and negative consequences.
Giving short, to-the-point instructions are useful in conveying your thoughts to the child. Ask him if he wants to study after dinner or right away. These specific choices can help you elicit the desired response from the child.
Create a reward chart for every positive behaviour displayed by your child. Kids between the age group of 3 to 8 years respond well to this.
Address unwanted or uncooperative behaviour immediately. Consider withdrawing a specific privilege if the child does not respond to instructions after a couple of requests.
Since ODD is a behavioural disorder developed due to various conditions around the child, do not take it personally. If you focus on changing the child’s behaviour, you will be able to make a sea change to the child’s personality.

Skype Away the Distance with 5 Useful Tips
Do you find it hard to video chat with your kids? Maybe you need to make the experience more interesting so your little ones pay attention. Video chatting sessions can easily turn into fun times your children will love!
Do you often have to stay away from home and your little one for work and other commitments? You certainly miss your baby and would like nothing better than to stay in touch. Thanks to progress in technology, this isn't difficult anymore. Bonding through video chat with toddlers on Skype is one option that can make the distance dissolve in no time!
Tips for Video Chatting with Children
1. Timing it Right
Toddlers have a short attention span so it's important that you time video chats in such a way that your children are in a good mood and attentive. The best time to chat is in the morning after breakfast as this is when they're most alert. Avoid chatting when they're hungry and tired as they'll only be fussy and irritable.
2. Make Eye Contact
One of the most important tips for a video chat with kids is to make eye contact with them. In order to have toddlers listen to you and respond, it is important that they can see your face and look into your eyes. Try to make them feel like you're talking directly to them instead of through a screen otherwise they'll get bored and inattentive. If your hubby is home, ask him to pitch in and keep your darling entertained!
3. Going for Favourites
Getting your pre-schoolers to show interest throughout a video chat takes some work. You can sing them their favourite song or tell them their favourite story. You could even enact it with some puppets. They'd love that and will be all ears for what you have to say. Try being funny as kids enjoy comic scenes and expressions.
4. Try a Change of Scene
Try chatting with your kids on a phone or a tablet. This makes it easy for you to move around and also gives them the freedom to show you different scenes and views. This is especially so if you have older children who are eager to tell you about school, friends and what's been going on in their lives. However, a change of location should also work well with your toddler.
5. Expect Less
Unlike adults who can chat endlessly for hours, children lose interest quickly. Toddlers and pre-schoolers in particular get bored easily. Don't expect your little ones to chat with you for more than five minutes at a time. Anything longer and they'll be craving something else. It's a good idea to end the call before they start zoning out.
Try these video chatting tips for parents when you Skype with your angels next. Schedule a chat every other day depending on how busy you are. Make sure the internet connection is stable and that your laptop, cell phone or tablet is fully charged. Get closer to your kids even when away! Read more
