Be Strong (Part 2): Bullying

Be Strong (Part 2): Bullying

A coward dies a thousand deaths. A child that is a victim of bullying can feel like they die thousands of deaths at the hands of a bully. Despite some of the new “expect the bystanders to help” programs taught in schools today, the only real way to end bullying is for the victim to face their fear and stand up to the bully directly. This may risk pain and humiliation, but is the only true way to put an end to the problem before it ruins one’s life.

ADHD Insomnia & Melatonin

April 15, 2014 By Y3K

If your child has sleep issues due to ADHD and the other sleep suggestions from yesterday do not work, there is another option. Students may benefit from the hormone supplement melatonin to induce drowsiness. Melatonin is produced naturally in the brain as the sun goes down, signaling that bedtime is coming within a few hours.

The theory is that taking this supplement may help people with true insomnia fall asleep. Ask your doctor before trying this option and only use it as a last resort.

ALICE (Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate)

April 10, 2014 By Y3K

ALICE (Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate) calls for alerting the police and implementing a lockdown in response to an armed attacker. This in itself is standard procedure in all schools. ALICE takes it a step further by training students and teachers to consider other options such as evacuating or fighting off the attacker. Teachers and students are trained in ways to stop the gunman as a last resort, if there are no other options.

What do you think about your kids being trained to fight off a gunman in school?

ADHD, Behavior, Anxiety, Depression, & Autism Common?

February 22, 2014 By Y3K

Many more children have mental problems then you would think. According to a finding published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 5 children or 20% between the ages of 3 and 17 have some form of mental disorder. Here are some interesting statistics showing just how common the top 5 mental disorders are:

ADHD: 6.8% or 1 in 14

Behavioral or Conduct Problems: 3.5% or 1 in 28

Anxiety: 3% or 1 in 33

Depression: 2.1% or 1 in 50

Autism Spectrum Disorders: 1.1% or 1 in 100

If your child suffers from any mental disorder, seek out help right away. Most childhood mental health problems can be improved by giving them the support they need and acting quickly if there is a sign of a problem. Without any treatment or help, most of these mental illnesses will worsen over time. It’s always better to try and seek support when the child, or adult for that matter, starts showing signs of mental illnesses. There are a number of different treatments, such as medicines and therapy options.

Lincoln-Sudbury Superintendent Fiasco

December 22, 2013 By Y3K

The Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District decided that their Superintendent earning $157,000 per year was underpaid. They decided to extend her contract through the 2014-2015 academic year for a whopping $170,000 per year. This is an 8.3% raise! Did you get as big of a raise this year? Or were you just happy to keep your job? What do you think about towns raising your property taxes so school districts can give away taxpayer funds like this?
