Fighting for Special Education Accommodations and Services
When fighting for special education accommodations and services, examine the situation before you act impulsively. Have all your facts ready to go to counter their refusal to help. Also plan ahead by preparing evidence and rebuttals to reasons you believe they will claim their services are not needed for your child.
The Right Way to Do Schoolwork and Homework

Treating ADD, ADHD & Dyslexia Without Medication Side Effects

Other options can be explored first that treat the underlying problem without the use of drugs. We have a 5 page report on how to help people with ADD, ADHD & dyslexia without medication.

Y3K Tutor In Your Home Golden Rule for Living: Fight Prevention
Y3K Tutor In Your Home Golden Rule for Living: If you hurt someone accidentally, let them know it was an accident and apologize.
Most fights occur because this rule is not followed. Kids often fight others because they think that the other kid is attacking them. The reality often times is the “attacker” accidentally hurt the “victim” and never acknowledged that it was accidental. The “victim” then retaliates and attacks the “attacker”. The “attacker” then feels that they are being attacked. At this point major fights can occur. The simple solution is to recognize a mistake happened and apologize for it.
