| Article Title :: Curbing Maladaptive Behavior in School |
| |
| Behavior Intervention PlansIf your child exhibits behavioral issues, it’s likely they’ve gotten into a lot of trouble at school. You’ve gotten those dreaded calls from their teachers on a regular basis. All you hear is bad news. Isn’t it time your child’s teacher called with good news? Perhaps it’s time to look into a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP).A BIP is developed when a child’s behavior impedes his or her learning or that of others. If your child is classified as needing special education and related services (likely under the Other Health Impaired classification if they have AD/HD) then a BIP is easy to incorporate into their IEP. Sure, BIPs requires mor (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A Happy Family Begins with Trust |

| Article Title :: The Art Of Parenting |
| |
| Parenting is an art. There are no manuals to give us all the answers. Sometimes we learn through trial and error. The key for parents is to not continue doing the same things repeatedly that don't work. Try a different approach. Remember that mistakes are a necessary function of change. The goal of parenting is to help your children develop a sense of autonomy. Teaching them to be self-directed and responsible means that one must learn not to underfunction or overfunction as a parent. Underfunctioning or being an "absent parent" leaves a child feeling alone without support. The lack of encouragement, nurturing, and affirmation can have a detrimental impact on a child's current be (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Does your Child Struggle in School? You Can Get Extra Help for Free |
| |
| If your child is struggling with learning or behavior, and these issues are impeding their ability to function optimally in school, you may have to consider the possibility of a learning disability. The good news is that there are a ton of services available to your child, and they’re free to access. These are called special education and related services.First of all, you needn’t be upset. As a school psychologist, I see approximately 20% of the student population for one reason or another. Services range from In-Class Support to Out-of-District Placement, and the range in between is significant. There are Resource Center placements that place your child in a smaller class env (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Making Time Count |
| |
| Time is a precious commodity for a working mom, and is even more precious when she is single as well. Most moms deeply love their children, but are their children feeling that love?As a working mother of five, I had noticed that even though we did things together – attending their sports games, watching TV, outings like putt-putt, shopping, bicycling, eating, etc., I was not always receiving the positive responses I wished to have. There seemed to be unnecessary quarreling, interruptive behavior, unkind comments, and a little thread of sibling jealousy that appeared at times. I did some researching and decided to implement a change by committing to spending alone time with each c (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Chores For Your Children |
| |
| In this present day it may seem difficult to raise responsible children. Without responsibility children may grow up wanting everything handed to them. Even at a young age children should be given a few responsibilities around the house. This not only gets them in the habit of helping around the house but can also boost their esteem and self-worth knowing that, even though young, they also have the ability to feel useful.Children as young as one can help pick up their toys. If a child is able to walk around and pick things up then they can just as easily put things away. You can teach them this easy chore by simply explaining to them in a happy voice that it's time to pick up (read full article) |

| Article Title :: This is an E-Ticket Ride! The Rollercoaster that is Parenting Gifted Children |
| |
| I was born and raised in Orange County, California, home to world-famous Disneyland. Until 1981, admittance to this beloved theme park included purchasing coupons, labeled A through E, for specific rides. E-coupons were always in highest demand (and were more expensive) because that was your ticket to the most exciting, the most adventurous, and the most gut-wrenching experiences in the park. As opposed to the A-tickets which were rides for “babies,” as I recall. If you’ve just learned (likely confirming your deepest intuition) that your child is, in fact, gifted, you’ve just found yourself on one of the most thrilling rollercoasters of parenting. A ride fraught with anticipation (read full article) |

| Imagine this: You’ve just tucked your child in for the night and - well, it seems as though you’ve just tucked him in, but, now that you think about it, the news is coming on and you’ve managed to fold the laundry, do the dishes, and tidy the family room in the meantime, so maybe it’s actually been a couple of hours and, and - he’s calling for you! Why isn’t he asleep yet?!You’ve been summoned for one last whisper, snuggle and butterfly kiss. In your attempt to navigate the four feet between the bedroom door and the bedside you manage to plant your unprotected left foot smack on top of a Mars colony created from LEGOs.
