Parenting Special Needs Children

When children have special needs, those closest to them may suffer.  Parents of children with special needs often experience emotional problems such as fear, sadness, rage, loneliness, and guilt.  They also experience physical problems such as exhaustion and self-neglect.  Many report their health as “fair to poor“ and over half say their diets and exercise habits have deteriorated since their parenting responsibilities began.  They also report that they do not regularly keep their own medical appointments.  It is important for those caring for those with special needs to address and treat their own issues as well.

Do you think you know what children want the most from their parents?  Toys? Vacations?  Money?  Time together?  Surveys show that children want for their parents to be less tired and stressed.  This response beat out spending more time with their parents and wanting a bigger allowance.  If you can reduce your stress and exhaustion, you may improve your relationship with your children.

Kids and Animal Abuse

Every generation seems to have a serial killer hyped up by the media.  Many of these serial killings could have been prevented if people saw the early warning signs as children.  These infamous killers’ violent acts towards people were first directed at animals when they were kids.  Notorious murderers including Dennis Rader (BTK Killer), Jeffrey Dahmer (cannibal), Albert DeSalvo (Boston Strangler), and Lee Boyd Malvo (Beltway Sniper) all tortured and killed many animals in their youth.  As they got older, they transferred their enjoyment for inflicting pain and murder on people.  If parents, teachers, coaches, neighbors, etc. saw the warning signs when these murderers were still children, then they may have been able to prevent the atrocities that were to follow in the years to come.

If you witness animal abuse, report it immediately.  YOU may be the one to not only stop the pain of an innocent animal but also save our society from evil bloodshed in the future.

Children and Animal Abuse

Posted by admin in young children , kids , illness , dogs , depression , controversy , children , cats , brain , behaviorally challenged , Animal Rescue League , abuse

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.

Controlling ADD, ADHD & Dyslexia Without Drugs

Posted by admin in young children , tutoring , tutor , special ed , medication , kids , IEP , health , dyslexia , drugs , children , brain , ADHD , ADD

There are other options for keeping ADD, ADHD and DYSLEXIA under control without side effects that often accompany a Big Pharma prescription. Like physicians, Big Pharma should take the same oath before dealing out major side effects to children: Primum non nocere.  It means, "First do no harm."

Although medication can be helpful in some children, drug-free treatments exist and should be explored first.  Y3K Tutor In Your Home offers remedies that can give relief without dangerous side effects.
