By

SOCIAL CHALLENGES and LONELINESS – Some kids have a hard time in large groups and/or making friends. If this is the case for your child, the school day can be a place of isolation, awkwardness and sadness. It makes sense for one to hate being trapped 6 hours a day in a place that feels so awful.

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.

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.
