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. A lot of adults seem to find that therapy is one of the best ways to get to the bottom of the illness. By talking about the problems, people often find that they can overcome these issues and manage them much more effectively. Perhaps some people should consider visiting a website like https://www.privatetherapy.com/ to see if their services would be useful. Of course, there will also be therapy options for children, so make sure to do some research into that if you think they could benefit from this.

Parenting Special Needs Children

May 18, 2013 By Y3K

When children have special needs, those closest to them may suffer. Parents of children with special needs often experience emotional problems such as fear, sadness, rage, loneliness, and guilt. They also experience physical problems such as exhaustion and self-neglect. Many report their health as “fair to poor“ and over half say their diets and exercise habits have deteriorated since their parenting responsibilities began. They also report that they do not regularly keep their own medical appointments. It is important for those caring for those with special needs to address and treat their own issues as well.

Title I

December 5, 2011 By Y3K

Title I is part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It is a collection of federal laws that are designed to improve the achievement of public school students. Title 1 allows schools to receive additional funding for specific Title I programs and in turn are held accountable for showing marked improvement in those areas. The schools must then prove to the government that the extra money spent resulted in student advancement. The school’s general education department is in charge of Title I programs.
