Coping Skills Activities for Children
A student's ability to cope with difficult situations will greatly affect their social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes. Children who learn healthy coping skills are better equipped to deal with complex emotions and have less disruptive behaviors in the classroom which is good for both that child and the classroom as a whole. These activities are a great way to introduce students to strategies that can help them regulate and calm down during stressful or anxious moments in their day.

Part Time Job VS School Work
Okay, so this is my first article and the title isn't perfect, but it is pretty explanatory of my story. So how do you balance your clearly important schoolwork with a part time job and do you even need that saturday job to begin with? My parents take each side of the argument, one says I spend too much time (around 12 hours a week) at work and I don't need a job at all and that I should be spending my time revising. The other says having a job is good for me as a maturing person and I need my job to help prepare me for the world. I like pretty much all teens, I have a job purely for the money, yes I need to study to go to university etc... but I have no hope of affording uni without a job.

Your Child Is Difficult in High School
When your child begins middle school, there is always more pressure on him or her—and much more homework. So make your children feel good about doing their homework and prepare their favorite treat for them like dump cake. Make sure they have a space where they can do their homework without any distractions or noise, and make sure they have all the school supplies they need. See that they do not have their phone close by, the TV is turned off, and that they are not playing video games. Let them do their homework on their own, but check in from time to time and ask how they are doing in case they need some help. Take the time to talk to your children about their classes, about their teachers, their school, and their friends, and find out what they like, they don’t like, and what might be bothering them. Encourage them to ask their teachers for extra help if needed and suggest other resources.

Unfortunately, it’s common knowledge that the public education system has a number of flaws. To address those, however, we have to acknowledge, and analyze them.

I Wish I Learned That in High School!
The idea of going to school can sometimes feel tiring and quite mind-boggling. If education is one of "the best investments in the world," why do so many of us hate going to school? When we are tired, we prefer to stay away from school (if we could of course. But many of our parents would not allow us to do so). Even when we are not tired, we still prefer to not wake up early for school.

Being Dyslexic
I knew very little about dyslexia when our daughter was diagnosed. I was guilty of believing dyslexics simply transposed letters, and often saw them backwards, but dyslexia is more complex than that. It's true that many dyslexics see b's and p's in mirror form; however, they may also find themselves struggling to recall words, remember tasks, and people's names. Often dyslexia is accompanied by other conditions, like ADD/ADHD, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and/or dyspraxia.
