- Help Your Child Do Better in School By Denni Gill
1. Create a personal schedule
Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or "to do" list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
A "to do" list would also help him to prioritize his tasks. When it comes to homework, whatever is most important should be tackled first.
2. Watch the clock

- Hand-eye Coordination and Visual Discrimination Key to Literacy By Deanna Mascle
Sometimes the best thing you can do for your child's early literacy development is simply to let them play. Turn off the TV and anything battery operated then let your child pick up their toys, build blocks or duplos, or manipulate puzzles or game pieces. Not only are you giving your child the gift of childhood, something we so often fail to do in today's hectice, achievement-oriented world, but you are actually helping them build skills that are key to learning to read and write.Hand-eye coor…
- MORAL ARMOR'S Irrational Parenting, Part III By Ronald Springer
Not Letting Them Think.We all implicitly know that anything questioning the process of cognition itself will be met with massive irritation, making us want to respond with “Don’t question my capacity to think.” Their moronic reasoning to show how logic is derived, provokes the thought, “Don’t try to tell me how to think.” Forcing their opinions down your throat earns the response, “Don’t tell me what to think.” Some parents show no respect for personal boundaries long after childhood, straight…
- Are Today’s Parents Ready For Extreme Parenting? By Donny Lowy
Parenting has always required and exceptionally strong set of skills. Parents generally have been called on to be a leader, manager, facilitator, communicator, and care giver, all without any formal training.These functions are considered careers in the outside world.

- Parenting Your Teenager: The Law of Hope By Jeff Herring
Recent statistics show that one of the age groups in which the suicide rate is rising is adolescents.In my experience, this statistic is the direct result of a lack of hope.One of the things I have teenagers do when they come in for their second session with me is to bring in some of the music they are listening to.While this is a nice way to connect with a kid and to keep up with current music, those things are not the main intent.My main purpose I want to hear what is influencing them, what …
- Diet Sodas And How They Can Affect Kids By Kim Beardsmore
Many of us have grown up drinking caffeinated diet sodas as an alternative to sugary regular sodas. We figure this is a better choice rather than loading our and our children's bodies with large quantities of sugar. Whilst diet sodas do help us avoid a sugar overload (which can lead to weight gain) we should also be aware of the effects of caffeine contained in many cola flavored diet sodas.Caffeine is a diuretic causing the body to excrete water. The net result of drinking several caffeinat…

- Are You Present With Your Children? By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
How often are you fully and completely present when you are with your
children? One of the greatest gifts we can give to our children is to be
fully present with them. This can often be a big challenge.When my three children were growing up, I worked full time as a
counselor, wrote books, traveled on book tours, and pursued my
passion as an artist – in addition to spending time with my husband. The
only way I could be fully present when I was with my children was to set
aside “time alone…
- Building Confidence and Esteem With Your Child By Jo Ball
We all dream of our children being confident with high self-esteem.
It’s vital we remember that everything we say to a child can have a positive or negative consequence on their minds.Sometimes all it takes is one knock back, one put down or one embarrassment to affect their behaviour well into their adult life if not for the rest of their days.Mindful parenting is the answer. That’s being consciously aware of how you are communicating to your child in verbal and non-verbal ways. Consider you…
- Parenting Your Teenager: When Kids Lie By Jeff Herring
Here's a newsflash - teenagers lie to their parents.Fortunately no huge amounts of taxpayer dollars were spent to discover that tees lie to their parents. It's just something I have noticed while doing what I do for the last 25 years.Because the average 15 year old is 15 going on 25 and 15 going on 5 all at the same time, teens can come up with some fairly convincing stories. What I believe happens is that they combine the "wisdom" and verbal ability of the 15 going on 25 year old with the "I …

- How to Take Charge of the TV By Anil Vij

mind, though, that young children often imitate what they
see, good or bad. It's up to you to decide how much TV and
what kinds of shows your child should watch.Think about your child's age and choose the types of things
that you want him to see, learn, and imitate.Look for TV shows that--teach your child something,--hold his interest,--encourage him to listen and question,--help him learn more words,--make him feel good about himself…
- Four Tips For Alleviating Back To School Anxiety By Dr. Charles Sophy
Back to school preparations are in full-swing. Soon, the first bell of the year will ring and the sounds of summer will be replaced by the voices of school-aged children bemoaning the end of their summer and trying to sort out their new school routines: What building am I in?

- How Being a Mom Makes You a Better Professional By Norma Schmidt
"Becoming a parent can make you a better worker," New York Times writer Lisa Belkins said in a recent column.I'd always heard that becoming a parent made MEN better workers. The common "wisdom" said fatherhood made men more stable and better motivated.Women, the old prejudice held, would become unreliable once children arrived. Motherhood would bring distractions and increased sick days on account of small, runny noses at home.My own experience has been mixed. In my early days of motherhood…
