4 Parenting Tips to Help Teens Overcome Adolescence

12/10/2019 05:51:00 AM Education and Parenting , 0 Comments

We've all been there: school crushes, peer pressure, acne breakouts, hormonal changes, and a host of other things that made us confused, scared, and excited all at once. We're all survivors of that phase in life called adolescence.

But we're the lucky ones, we should admit. It's because not everyone who goes through adolescence breezed through it.

Many people fall victim to depression and had to find means to cope with all the stress this phase brings, such as finding help from a clinic that provides dialectal behavior therapy in Westport, CT and other areas. This helps find a resolution to all the negative feelings a teen has. 

If you're a parent and you don't want your adolescent teens to suffer the same fate, you have a lot of work to do. Thankfully, there are some simple ways to help them survive such a challenging phase. Read on to learn about these tips.

How Childcares are Helping Today’s Parents Cope With Demands

11/19/2019 04:05:00 AM Education and Parenting , 1 Comments

Parenting today is not the same as it used to be. In fact, today’s parents are faced with many challenges that previous generations did not have to contend with. What are some of these challenges and how to overcome them? Let us go over these and consider them on a case-by-case basis.

The first and foremost of these childcare challenges is the fact that more households today have two working parents. That leaves no one to take care of the children. The trend for both the father and the mother to work is one that is bound to continue due to social and economic reasons. Additionally, people are retiring at later ages. That makes it more difficult for the grandparents to take care of the kids.

Is My Child in the Right Maths Set?

10/09/2019 06:00:00 PM Education and Parenting , 0 Comments

In primary school, children are split into small maths groups or ‘sets’ according to their ability. This is usually done within the same classroom and taught by one teacher, but each set has to complete different maths tasks based on their academic ability.

Being put in the wrong maths set can be demotivating for children, especially if they’re put in a set lower than they were expecting. However, the majority of primary schools try to disguise set levels by using group names such as red, yellow and green, instead of top, middle or bottom groups. This avoids unhelpful comparisons between children and parents.

While the intake of food is vital for proper performance, many of the widely available and popular snacks and foods are actually hindering children’s abilities to learn. Foods that are loaded with sugars, caffeine, chemicals, and sodium are leaving children tired and unfocused.  As well as affecting your child’s learning it also has a significant impact on their behaviour and mood.

9/12/2019 04:08:00 AM Education and Parenting , 0 Comments

There are many benefits to outdoor learning; so many in fact, that it might surprise you. It’s a broad term, but in most prep schools it essentially involves exploration of the natural world, experimenting, going on adventures and discovering new things that cannot be found indoors.

Not all young people are lucky enough to have their own garden, so the availability of outdoor learning at school gives them the opportunity to play outside and get some fresh air and exercise in a safe and controlled environment.  Children often have too much exposure to smartphones, tablets and other digital devices, which might actually lead to both physical and psychological issues.
