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.

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.

One major Common Core change is in the pace of math taught in the early grades. Teachers now cover fewer topics but in greater depth. The goal is to achieve mastery of the basics early on. The theory is that previously schools throughout America taught too much, too soon. The controversy lies in the fact that for some advanced students they are in essence being held back from their full potential. Some can learn more quickly than others and this system appears to teach to the middle. What do you think?

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.

Brookline Public Schools in Brookline, MA have a major problem with increased enrollment. They are considering the traditional approach of asking voters in the spring to approve property tax increases that would be used to fund expansions of multiple schools to accommodate the increasing number of students. The Brookline School Committee is also taking a non-traditional approach to dealing with this major drag on town finances. Recently there was a proposed policy that would exclude homes straddling the town borders with Boston and Newton from sending their children to Brookline schools unless they pay taxes on at least 50% of the property to Brookline. Under the new proposal, residents of a home on the town line must also qualify to register to vote in Brookline based on its location. If they don’t, the household’s children would not be allowed to attend Brookline schools.
