Parenting Information

As the new school year begins, parents play a pivotal role in their child's success. Here are 10 tips for motivating your student from GoalSettingforStudents.

Help Your Child Do Better in School


  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.

Break Free From Power Struggles


You want your daughter to wear a dress to the party. She wants to wear jeans.

To Clean or Not To Clean


Before my daughter was born my house was so tidy and immaculate that you could eat off the floor! Dishes were done immediately (no dishwasher here!), the toilet was cleaned every morning and the house was dusted and vacuumed quite frequently. Today? The dishes sit o­n the counter till the next day when I tip-toe to the kitchen before the baby wakes so I can get it cleaned and put away, the house is vacuumed just when it looks like it needs it and the dust sits even now several inches thick upon all my furniture.

Advocating for Your Child with LD


Advocate: you've probably heard the term before.  But what does it mean to you? Advocating happens when you speak on behalf of someone else.

10 Ways You Can Advocate For Your Child With A Learning Disability


Did you know that you are the most important person in your child's life? Of course you did. But did you know that parents of children with learning disabilities can also be their child's most effective advocate.

Aptitude, Achievement, Processing Deficit - What Does It All Mean?


You are sitting with the professionals who know about learning disabilities. They have  been explaining what they will be looking for  when they test your child.

Beginning the Special Education Process


Like anything else in life, there's a method to the special education process. It was put in place to  help people who deal with learning disabilities get the  best services possible.

Understanding Why Your Child Has Been Recommended for Testing


You have just received a call from your child's teacher explaining that she has noticed your child having difficulty in school.  Your child is not understanding math or reading the way the other children do.

To Test or Not To Test - That Is the Question


Little Suzy has really been having a hard time getting some of her assignments done.  When she reads in class, she struggles with many words, and her mother reported at conference time that Suzy spends hours each night on homework.

Strengths and Weaknesses


All too often, children with learning disabilities are seen through their weaknesses. Like anyone else, however, they have many strengths.

So, My Child Has Been Recommended for Testing - What Do I Do Now?


You've just received a call from your child's teacher.  As your blood pounds in your ears, you hear her explain how she has noticed your child having difficulty with some academic subject in school.

Understanding The Report


"No thank you.  Don't bother to send me the report about the testing results.

Alias: Aptitude


Be aware. You may become totally overwhelmed when you get the results of the special education  testing on your child.

The Forgotten Secret of the Ancient Greeks that Shows Us How to Keep Our Teenagers Out of Trouble


To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up (Ecclesiastes 3:1-3) Four of the boys at training tonight are preparing themselves for their first fight at our forthcoming Christians vs. Lions promotion, scheduled for only three weeks hence.
