if i am a sexaholic what are the chanced of my children having this diease?

Question

Answer 1

Unpredictable chance: There are a number of addictions that have tendencies to be inherited in varying degrees. There is no evidence that sexual addiction is one of them. That said, the presence of addicted individuals in a family does suggest others there are at risk of becoming addicted. Reasons for that are multiple including genetics as noted, broken families, severe financial stress and trauma of all types.

Answer 2

They are increased: Compulsive sexual activity is often a form of addiction which has combined biological and psychological roots. Your children may inherit biologically an decreased capacity to sooth themselves in other ways. Because you don't have this capacity you may find it hard to teach it to your children, and so pass it on psychologically.

Answer 3

Keep tyring!: All you can do is make the foods available and model good eating habits. Different textures, colors, etc. Make food more appealing. Also, allow your child to experience the food in different ways - ex: raw, cooked, frozen even. Pairing unfamilar foods with foods they already like can help. Also, dips are a great way for kids to try new foods.

Answer 4

Evil: Try giving them less internet access. You can also be an example of good values and "good culture".

Answer 5

Love them: Young people are going to explore. Set an example in your own life. For me, "evil" is hating others without any real reason, treating others unfairly, demanding things for which you haven't worked, defining yourself in terms of owning worthless things. If you peers admire you for the life you live, your children will usually follow your example, though every young person makes some mistakes.

Answer 6

Danger?: Being online constantly is dangerous if you are not monitoring her activity, who her friends are. Etc. Children should not have more than 2 hrs a day total for all media time. This may be adjusted for homework that is on the computer. I would be concerned as she is not interacting with real people and learning age appropriate social interactions.

Answer 7

Eventually: You don't say who has the illness or how old the child is, but irrespective, the conversation should take place. Children tend to be egocentric and will therefore blame themselves for the illness. Telling them and reassuring them is important.

Answer 8

Cough, wheeze: The 2 most common symptoms are cough and wheezes. These mean he/she may have reactive airways disease (asthma).

Answer 9

Cough/wheeze: We all have airways that have a protective apparatus that reacts to keep noxious gas or debris from filling the sensitive air blebs in our lung. When this works correctly, as soon as the triggering event is gone, the "gate keeper" opens it and normal breathing ensues. RAD is a condition where the gate tends to remain closed, producing wheezing or cough. Meds work to reduce the keep airways open.
