Where did the year go? It’s that time of year again. Our kids must remember material from the beginning of the semester. That is a lot of information! If your child doesn’t get even a bit stressed, that’s great! As parents, we want our kids to do well.

Is your child well organized and needs minimal help with their studying? That’s awesome.

Unfortunately, with ADHD, most kids procrastinate. We nag and/or give consequences. It’s usually having to do with some type of screen being taken away. The drama! And…. they usually end up cramming the night before anyway. The joy of parenting!

Each child is unique and will adapt to the best study strategies that help them. Others may need a bit more help from us.

Good Luck Kids!! and Parents! Check out these sites for more!

Watkins’s Ideas About When To Start Kindergarten

It's probably the wrong time of year to be addressing this issue, but in recent weeks I've seen a lot of five and six year-olds getting ready to start Kindergarten. Most were very excited and I was excited for them too. Also anxious. I hope they have a great experience, a wonderful, memorable year, but, like their parents, there's always the worry that a bad first experience at 'real school' will color forever their attitude about school.

Watkins’s Ideas About Some of the Modeling We Do for Our Children

Ever wanted to be a model? You are one! Children learn, of course, from what we tell them, but so much more often, and more effectively, from how we act. I am sometimes asked how best to react when a child complains of vague and essentially non-worrisome complaints. Almost every parent hears these from time to time: stomach aches, leg pains, headaches, annoying itches or feelings of dizziness or light-headedness. All these complaints might be signs of serious illness, but more often they aren't and most of the time parents know this.

Watkins’ Ideas About Tummy Time

Work on those Abs! Disclaimer: I'm not sure if my partners will agree with me on this one, but they let me write what I like. Just don't assume they agree. In the late nineteen eighties, reports began to appear in the medical literature that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome was less common in infants that slept on their backs. This information was, at the time, mostly disregarded in the United States, as the long custom in this country was to have babies sleep on their tummies and logic seemed to suggest that that would be the safest position. Although we have known for a long time that regurgitation was not the cause of SIDS, the lack of a real answer left most of us thinking that better safe than sorry, don't risk choking, have babies sleep prone, on their tummies.
