Math: Processing & Intelligence
A common stereotype in math is that “a child that solves a math problem faster is smarter than a child takes longer to solve the same problem”. This is not necessarily true. Some people may take longer to process and think through a problem to get the right answer. If intelligence were to be measured by mathematical understanding, then speed would not be a consideration.
ADHD Drug Shortage: Ritalin & Adderall
If you are planning on bringing your child to the doctor’s office for a Ritalin (methylphenidate) or Adderall (amphetamine) prescription refill, call your pharmacy before the doctor’s appointment (even if in the doctor’s waiting room) to find out whether the store has your child’s drug and strength in stock. If they have the medication in stock, ask the pharmacy to set aside some pills for a prescription that is about to be filled. A phone call to the pharmacy ahead of time can help students receive the ADHD medication they need even when stock is running low. This is especially important considering there is a nationwide shortage for these drugs.
Cycle of Violence: Children & Animal Abuse
Children who abuse animals are often displaying signs that they are victims of physical, mental, or sexual abuse. As a child’s anger escalates as a result of the continued abuse, he or she may ultimately lash out against humans. When a child matures and becomes a parent, the person’s anger is often vented upon his or her own children, continuing the cycle of violence. If you hear of a child that abuses an animal, seek help for them right away.
ADHD Drug Shortage
In some pharmacies there tends to be a shortage of certain popular drugs to treat ADHD including brand name and generic Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Adderall (amphetamine). Some of these drugs appear on the US Food and Drug Administration List of drug shortages. If at the doctor’s office and receiving a new prescription of these particular drugs for a recently diagnosed child, be aware of a possible shortage and ask the doctor to call your local pharmacy to see what’s in stock before you walk out the door with the prescription.

Tourette’s Syndrome
Tourette’s syndrome is a disorder characterized by tics (involuntary, rapid, sudden movements) and/or vocal outbursts that occur repeatedly. It’s an inherited, neurological disorder that is first noticed in childhood, usually between the ages of 7 and 10. Kids with Tourette’s syndrome often face the embarrassment and struggle for suppression of having their tics/outbursts in public. This is especially difficult in school when other children may tease them over it.
Concussions: Cognitive Rest
If a student has recently received a concussion, it is important to practice “cognitive rest”. This is avoiding mentally taxing activities. It is also critical to take a break from sports and other activities that could lead to another concussion.
Concussions: Treatment
For many kids with a concussion, the only treatment needed is rest. A concussion disrupts the normally slow traffic of salts in and out of brain cells. During the injury, salts pour into cells, and it takes the body time to restore the balance back to normal.
Concussions
Kids can get a concussion in all kinds of sports including soccer, lacrosse, football and cheerleading. They can also happen in recreational activities such as bicycle riding and sailing. A concussion can be a serious medical condition so all safety precautions should be taken when performing these activities.
