Popcorn Tutoring

Popcorn is prepared in the same pot, with the same heat, in the same oil, yet the kernels do not pop at the same time. Don’t compare your child to others. Your student’s time to pop is coming!

Best Learning Disabilities Specialists Tutoring Award – Y3K Tutor In Your Home

Learning disabilities affect how the brain processes information. This could include how a student takes in information, organizes information, retains information, understands information, and uses information. Learning disabilities can involve verbal (words or speech) and/or nonverbal information. They typically affect how you read, write and/or do math. They can range from mild to severe.

Students with learning disabilities require accommodations and specially tailored lessons geared towards each individual.

The owner of Y3K Tutor In Your Home has been a blessing to our family!  A few years back I was having some behavioral issues with my son.  Thanks to his help, the Y3K Tutor In Your Home website was a wealth of information and helped us to get through many rough patches.  He is just a click away for whenever we need help.

I also have a nephew with ADHD, OCD, and other added issues.  The owner is wonderful to work with especially during very intense moments.  I would recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home in a heartbeat!  His wisdom, knowledge, patience, and follow up has brought much comfort to our family when we were truly feeling hopeless!

Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s ADHD Quiz #7: Eating Fish

Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME’S ADHD QUIZ #7: EATING FISH

Q: True or False: Pregnant women who eat lots of fish are more likely to have children with ADHD?

A: True. Initial research suggests that pregnant women who eat lots of fish – especially tuna, swordfish and other fish with high mercury levels are more likely to have children with ADHD. Researchers from the Boston University School of Public Health tracked 788 Massachusetts children between 1993 and 1998. Then they had the children’s mothers keep food diaries while they were pregnant so they could see how much fish the women ate. They took hair samples from them after they gave birth so they could test their mercury levels.

Eight years later, they asked the children’s teachers if the kids exhibited ADHD-like symptoms, such as hyperactivity, impulsiveness and inattentiveness. The researchers concluded that the women who had the most mercury in their hair were 60% more likely to have a child who exhibited ADHD-like behavior.

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

By

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.
