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

By

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.

They recently released the Dreamschool Finder online tool to help parents decide what public school system is in fact best. What Y3K Tutor In Your Home towns made the list? Check back tomorrow!

Homework Strategy

By

Having a ton of homework can be overwhelming for a student. Students (and adults) may be paralyzed with fear as to how to get all of the homework completed. Have your child identify and start the hardest assignments first. This way their brain will be the least tired and most focused.

Family Dinner Benefits Children

By

Eating dinner with the family has been shown to be helpful for children, but at least 1/3 of Americans rarely do so. Even if it is not possible to have a daily family dinner, there are alternatives that offer benefits to children. Other ways of attaining the dinner benefits include eating breakfast together, having a bedtime snack as a family, or scheduling a once a week Sunday dinner.

Crossing the Street in Winter Ice & Snow

By

Teach your kids to make sure that in winter snowy/icy weather, all cars have come to a complete stop before they start to cross a street. This is true even if they have a traffic light “walk” signal at a crosswalk. Cars can slide unexpectedly as they are trying to stop on the snow or ice and cause major injuries or death to the children as they are crossing.
