Problem To Look For When Kids Hate School #1: Self-Esteem

By

SELF-ESTEEM – Kids that feel bad about themselves and abilities most likely hate school too. A lot of kids that are deemed “special ed” are discouraged that they are not achieving at the level they want to.

Does Your Child Really HATE School?

By

It is estimated that only 5 – 10% of kids legitimately hate school. They may not always like the work they must do, but they usually find something about school they enjoy. Usually students enjoy the social camaraderie with their peers. Think back to your school days and usually your best memories are the social interactions you had. It is usually a sign of a much larger problem when a child absolutely hates everything about school. If your child really hates school over a long period of time, it could be because of one of the following reasons to be addressed here over the next 5 Y3K Tutor In Your Home Blog posts.

How To Prevent The Spread Of Strep Throat

By

Parents can prevent the spread of strep throat at home if someone in the house has already been diagnosed with a strep infection. Be certain that all your family members thoroughly wash their hands after wiping noses and before eating or preparing food. Make sure you wash all dishes, cups and utensils thoroughly in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher. Also do not allow the sharing of food or eating utensils.

Step Throat Treatment

By

It is important that your child receive treatment if diagnosed with strep throat. Treatment with antibiotics usually can prevent rheumatic fever. Although it is rare, some children with strep develop rheumatic fever, which causes abnormality of the heart valves and inflammation of the joints. Treatment also will prevent other rare, but possibly serious complications from a strep infection. Also if your child is not treated, or not treated long enough, they may continue to spread the infection to other members of your family and to other children.

Strep Throat & Children

By

Strep throat is a sore throat caused by Streptococcus bacteria. These bacteria are spread through nose and mouth droplets. It is a common illness in children. Most sore throats are caused by viruses and are not treated with antibiotics.

The most important thing to remember though (other then wanting to make your child better), is that your child might affect other children, so the best thing to do is to try and take precautions if you can.

These are the precautions to take in an effort to control the spread of this illness in the school environment:

1. Watch your child for signs of a sore throat and other signs of strep, which are headache, fever, stomach ache, swollen and tender neck glands.

2. Ask your doctor to have your child tested for strep throat. If strep is found, your child should receive treatment immediately.

Asperger’s & Autism-Friendly Theater Productions (Part 2)

By

There are many ways certain theater productions are becoming Asperger’s and autism – friendly. They welcome these patrons and address the sensory overload that usually would deter people with sensory problems from attending. Theaters keep the house lights on but just dimmed. The play’s noise is reduced. Actors are introduced to the audience out-of-character before the show begins. Audience members have stress balls to squeeze during the performance. People with Asperger’s or autism are free to get up and move around during the show. If the music feels too overwhelming, they can escape to a designated quiet room. Some shows offer a downloadable book telling them about the show before the day of the performance so they will know what to expect ahead of time.

Asperger’s & Autism-Friendly Theater Productions (Part 1)

By

Some theater productions are now welcoming Asperger’s and autistic patrons to the audience. Many children with Asperger’s and autism have certain issues that must be addressed when attending traditional Broadway Theater. Loud sounds and bright lights can be overwhelming for children with sensory issues. These kids tend to have their senses magnify the intensity and to them the sound seems louder and the light brighter. Some theaters both local and Broadway are making their show an experience all members of the community can enjoy.

Check back here to find out about some of the changes theaters are making to help people with Asperger’s and autism.
