People with autism spectrum disorder tend to think inward to their own little world. Social interactions help them to see the world outside of theirs.
Autism Interactions
Autism spectrum disorder kids need to interact with people as often as possible. They need to have their minds stimulated.
Pets Improve Children’s Emotional Development
A recent study showed that for children who do not have any siblings, having a pet helps them develop greater self-esteem and improved empathy. These children also participate more in physical and social activities. Adopting a pet from your local shelter you will not only save a life, but they will save your family as well.
Pets Help People With Autism
Research has shown that matching pets with people that have autism can significantly improve a number of factors. They include social skills and eye contact. Pets also can cause a decrease in negative habits such as whining, crying and frowning.

PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES #8
The Y3K Tutor In Your Home owner provides weekly tutoring for my middle-schooler who is bright but struggles with social pragmatics and rigidity, making public school a difficult learning environment. His creative and non-threatening approach is very effective in helping my son think critically about his assignments and his teachers’ expectations. In addition to developing his writing and language skills, he is also able to feed his insatiable appetite for complex math by expanding on the basic concepts covered in the school curriculum. He is an excellent academic tutor and is also very organized and dependable. I highly recommend him for a variety of learners and learning needs.

When Happiness Is Greatest
Our happiness is greatest when we contribute to the happiness of others.
Hard Work & Risks
We must be willing to do hard work. We must be willing to take risks. This can be a daunting task. We may ask ourselves, “What if I put in all of my time and energy into this hard work and fail? What if it’s all for nothing? What if people laugh at me?”
Quiet those negative voices. We have to give 100%. We can’t give up.
Solution To Family Fighting
The most common time of day for family fights is dinnertime. Studies found parents and kids were at the most highly charged from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This may be due to parents just returning from work and everybody is hungry. To reduce fighting, hold off on difficult topics until everyone’s looked through the mail, eaten, and changed clothes.
Family Dinner Benefits Children
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.
