PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES #29

April 4, 2019 By Y3K

The owner of Y3K Tutor In Your Home has been a blessing to our family!  A few years back I was having some behavioral issues with my son.  Thanks to his help, the Y3K Tutor In Your Home website was a wealth of information and helped us to get through many rough patches.  He is just a click away for whenever we need help.

I also have a nephew with ADHD, OCD, and other added issues.  The owner is wonderful to work with especially during very intense moments.  I would recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home in a heartbeat!  His wisdom, knowledge, patience, and follow up has brought much comfort to our family when we were truly feeling hopeless!

ADHD in Girls Overlooked

November 7, 2017 By Y3K

Many girls are overlooked for ADHD diagnosis and treatment.  The reason is that even though they may struggle in school, they have good relationships with their peers and teachers like them.  Many adult women are diagnosed only when they take their children to be evaluated and realize they may be suffering from ADHD too.

ADHD in Girls

November 6, 2017 By Y3K

Many young girls and women have a subtype called predominantly inattentive ADHD.  They may seem flighty or spacy but are not hyperactive.  This might not raise a red flag with teachers or parents.  As a result, girls often go without treatment until they reach adulthood.  The use of ADHD medication among women ages 26 to 34 has risen 85% in just 5 years! 

Tomorrow we will look at why girls are frequently overlooked for treatment.

Homework Help #3

October 15, 2017 By Y3K

A timer or clock can help students that lose track of time to pace their work and to take breaks at reasonable intervals. Some students will work for 10 minutes and lose track of time thinking they have worked much longer, and expect a break. Also some students will plan on a short break and lose track of time. A 5-minute break becomes a 30-minute break! This is the same psychology used by casinos to get people to gamble. Casinos hope the gamblers will lose track of time by not having any clocks on the walls. Use the timer to plan out how long they should work before taking a break, how long their break will be, and how long until the next break. Keep this process going until all homework is completed.
