Parents Agree: Y3K Tutor In Your Home Changes Lives #2

October 9, 2014 By Y3K

PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES

“Our son is an incredibly hard worker with a neurologically based learning disability. When he was “drowning” in math nearly two years ago, we reached out to the owner of Y3K Tutor In Your Home. We watched his grades and self-confidence take off. The tutor’s unimpeachable professionalism and patience have made an enormous difference in our son’s life, allowing him to work toward and maintain consistently high grades. These excellent grades have begun to move him into the mainstream curriculum in just his first year of high school! I have recommended Y3K Tutor In Your Home without hesitation to any and all who ask how all of this happened for a once-tearful child who had despaired of ever “learning like other kids”. I tell them that it’s because the tutor meets children where they are so that they can in their own time and way, get where they want to go. All of our son’s present and former teachers remain delighted and astonished by his growth as an enthusiastic, independent learner, who now faces new challenges “head on”. This is a level of confidence that now informs his every endeavor. We couldn’t be happier and wish the same for all struggling students and worried parents.”

How to Avoid Divorce

May 17, 2014 By Y3K

Divorce can devastate children and sometimes may be avoided.  Scientists asked both men and women why they argue with their spouses. Of the list of reasons each group gave, both sides cited “money” the most. Parents can cut down on financial conflicts by dividing money into three accounts: “yours”, “mine”, and “ours”. Another way parents can avoid fights and possibly prevent divorce is to hold quarterly meetings to discuss finances. Additionally, some parents also find that signing a prenuptial agreement prior to getting married can make the financial side of things a little bit easier. Although prenups might not sound particularly glamorous or romantic, they can make it much easier to divide assets fairly during a divorce.

ADHD, Behavior, Anxiety, Depression, & Autism Common?

February 22, 2014 By Y3K

Many more children have mental problems then you would think. According to a finding published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 5 children or 20% between the ages of 3 and 17 have some form of mental disorder. Here are some interesting statistics showing just how common the top 5 mental disorders are:

ADHD: 6.8% or 1 in 14

Behavioral or Conduct Problems: 3.5% or 1 in 28

Anxiety: 3% or 1 in 33

Depression: 2.1% or 1 in 50

Autism Spectrum Disorders: 1.1% or 1 in 100

If your child suffers from any mental disorder, seek out help right away. Most childhood mental health problems can be improved by giving them the support they need and acting quickly if there is a sign of a problem. Without any treatment or help, most of these mental illnesses will worsen over time. It’s always better to try and seek support when the child, or adult for that matter, starts showing signs of mental illnesses. There are a number of different treatments, such as medicines and therapy options.

Children and Animal Abuse

May 6, 2013 By Y3K

Acts of cruelty to animals are symptoms of deep mental problems. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals don’t stop there. Many of these abusers move on to hurt people as well. According to a Federal Bureau of Investigation profiler, murderers very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids. Studies have shown that violent and aggressive criminals are more likely to have abused animals as children than criminals who are considered non-aggressive.
