Talking to Your Childs New Teacher About ADHD

Talking to Your Child’s New Teacher About ADHD Open ongoing communication between parents and teachers is essential for kids with ADHD. In fact, the most effective non-medication interventions for kids with ADHD involve regular communication between parents and teachers as a key treatment component. At the start of a new school year parents have the opportunity to set the stage for productive ongoing collaboration with their childs teacher. Follow these guidelines to get things started off on the right foot: Initiate the first meeting. Teachers have 25-30 new students in their classroom at the start of the school year, and will probably not have an opportunity to reach out to each parent individually. So, take the first step by emailing or calling the teacher to schedule an initial 15-20-minute meeting at the beginning of the school year. It may seem like you will need more than 15 minutes to discuss your childs ADHD, but longer meetings will be more difficult to schedule, and may provide more information than your childs teacher can digest during this jam-packed time of year. Remember that this is just an initial meeting. There will be opportunities for ongoing communication throughout the school year. Approach the meeting with an open mind. Every parent walks into teacher meetings with mixed emotions at the start of the school year. If you have struggled to get your childs needs met in the past, or had a challenging relationship with last years teacher, then it will be tempting to carry these negative experiences forward with you into the current school year. Even if you and your child have had positive experiences previously, you may worry that this years teacher will not live up to the high bar set by the wonderful teachers your child has had in the past. Regardless of your past experiences, try to view the new teacher and school year as an opportunity for a fresh start. Approach your childs new teacher as a collaborator and partner. You are both invested in ensuring that your child has a great school year, and you both have important roles to play in making this happen. Make most of your brief meeting time. Make the most of the time that you have scheduled by thinking through the key points that you want to discuss in advance. Make notes about these points, and bring the notes with you to the meeting. Throughout the meeting, communicate in a manner that is brief and specific. Too much detail and too many tangential stories will make it difficult for the teacher to focus on the important information that you are sharing. When considering which topics to cover, aim to focus on these 4 important meeting goals: Share essential information about your childs ADHD. How does ADHD affect your child academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally? What was your childs greatest struggle last year? What is your childs biggest strength? What are some interventions or accommodations, including those in IEPs and 504 plans, that have previously helped your child manage his or her ADHD? Learn about your childs teachers prior experience with ADHD. How many students with ADHD have they had over the course of their career? What are some strategies that they have used to help students with ADHD? What are their preferences when it comes to partnering with parents to help students with ADHD succeed? Learn about the teachers impressions of your child so far. What have they noticed about your child during the first few days of school? Having observed your child, and having heard the information that youve shared earlier in this meeting, what do they anticipate some of the greatest challenges may be for your child during this school year? Discuss next steps. What is at least one action that you can take at home and the teacher can take in the classroom this week to help your child? How will you and the teacher have regular communication going forward? When should a follow-up meeting be held? Initiating collaborative communication with your childs teacher at the start of the school year will lay the foundation for a positive partnership that will help your child get the support that he or she needs throughout the year at school and at home.

Fisher-Price at It Again

Fisher-Price at It Again Photo Via: http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com Looking for the perfect toy this holiday season for your niece, nephew, brother or sister? Or maybe you have kids of your own that you’re looking to purchase new and exciting toys for? Or maybe you’ve got a Secret Santa that you just have no idea what to get and you’re 15 minutes away from buying a Visa gift card and calling it a day. Well look no further, because there’s a new toy in town and you aren’t going to want to miss this one. Seriously, remain seated. Fisher-Price, that extremely popular toy company that you remember from your childhood, faced a bit of backlash when a known meme maker, Adam Padilla, created a meme featuring a not-real, though extremely funny, toy that he linked to the company. They have since gotten many complains via Twitter (because people have no idea how to take a joke and must complain somewhere), to which they’ve had to respond that they have not, in fact, created said toy. So what’s the toy that’s creating controversy? Well, when Emma Stone hosted “Saturday Night Live,” the company was the butt of the joke when they created a fake ad for a toy for “sensitive boys.” The toy was a wishing well, a place where “sensitive boys” could go and cry or talk to themselves. Following this fake ad, Padilla created his own meme of a Fisher-Price toy that he called the “Happy Hour Playset.” The toy features three toddlers standing at a pretend bar (think toy kitchen, but rather a bar) and holding plastic beer bottles. One of the toddlers appears to be posing as the bartender. As college students, we can all appreciate how hilarious this sounds, and I’m sure many of us truly wish that it was a real toy. However, while obviously funny and meant to be satirical, the more serious parents aren’t too thrilled that the popular company name is being displayed in such negative lights. The company made a statement and claimed that they had nothing to do with this “product,” going on to state that it wasn’t ever “endorsed, produced or approved by Fisher-Price.” The picture was posted to one of our favorite social media sites, Instagram, and while we can appreciate it (and probably wish that it was a real thing for multiple reasons), not everyone can. Fisher-Price appears to be on the same side however, in saying that it appreciates “the suggestions as obvious love of the brand.” So why is this relevant to you? Well, in my family, every year we must come up with Christmas lists of things that we want, but my family never really gets us anything on those lists. So this year, we’re filling our lists with ridiculous items that we would love to have. This is going to be one of those items. Can you imagine sitting in your dorm room at your toy-kitchen-esque bar enjoying a mixed drink with your roommates while watching Spongebob re-runs and avoiding homework? I can, and I think it’s going to be the perfect gift for any college student. All jokes aside, brand issues like this come up all too often, though the way that Fisher-Price is handling the issue is commendable. There’s no obvious harm being done to the company (as there shouldn’t be, since they’ve done nothing wrong), so they’ve been good sports in claiming that these fake ads and products are simply meant as flattery to a company that’s so well-known and loved. There are plenty of toy companies out there, but their brand name is one that people recognize, and perhaps that is why they are at the forefront of these fake ads, especially in light of the holidays, which typically leads to an increase in ads for all companies anyway. For all you advertising majors, bad publicity is a very real thing, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case here. At least, not yet. If customers of the company continue complaining about such pictures and fake ads, there may be another story here soon. Especially since the company has actually had to come out and say they do not endorse and have not made this toy, even though it should be fairly obvious to anyone with any sort of brain that this would be the case. But for the time being, no publicity is bad publicity and Fisher-Price is still the toy company we all turn to for our ridiculous, fake kitchen and cleaning items, needs. So until you can find the children’s toy bar at a Toys R Us nearest you, maybe it’s best to stick to Nordstrom’s $85 rock for your pointless Christmas gifts this year. Next year, check back in with Fisher-Price and see how they’re coming along.

3 Tips for Learning Any Language

3 Tips for Learning Any Language Learning a language can be challenging, so here are 3 tips from one of our italki tutors on what to focus on in order to reach your goal! 1) LEARN THE STRUCTURE Learn the structure first, with limited lexicon, by making up a lot of sentences, with the help of a native friend or teacher. Languages are all about composing sentences, recounting facts and expressing any kind of idea or thoughts. You do not need to know a lot of words in order to make up many useful, real-life phrases. Learning a language should be mostly a constructive process: the more sentences you build, the more you understand and remember the syntax of the language. You cant learn by reading only. You have to make the effort to write and speak, that is to communicate. There are two aspects to every language: syntax and semantics. Semantics is usually quite easy: a good dictionary can tell you the meaning of an unknown word. If a word has many possible meanings, you will be easily able to tell the right one from the context. Idiomatic expressions can be difficult to look up in a traditional dictionary, but there are many online resources out there to help you with that as well. Syntax is the real tricky thing, because word order can be very different from your own language, as well as the usage of verbs, which is very important to master correctly as soon as possible. Here you absolutely need a native to tell you whether the sentences you invent are grammatically correct or not. It is helpful to be aware of all correct word orders in which you can express a certain sentence. In order to become fluent, you need to build into your brain a sort of grammar machine for the target language: an automation that is able to generate all grammatical sentences and recognize the ungrammatical ones. This is where a native teacher can and should help you most. 2) RELATE WORDS Do not try to memorize words, but instead relate words between each other both in the target language and in the languages you already know. Compare the structure of the languages, too. There is a lot of contamination between languages. Depending on the relative geographical nearness of people speaking different languages, you will find more or less cognates or loan words. Sometimes a word is borrowed by a language indirectly from another language, e.g. English borrowed many words from French, and French from Latin. These words happen to be similar to Spanish or Italian, because of the common Latin origin. Anyway, you do not need to know the exact etymology of each word, which sometimes remains controversial, in order to speak a language. Just exploit both similarities and differences between the languages. They both can help you to remember, so it is important you are aware of them. Never try to learn a word by heart, without understanding a bit of its internal structure.  (*) We cannot learn a language using word lists and we cannot remember a lot of words without relating them. Paradoxically, it is easier for us to learn many related words together than unrelated words separately. Also, you have to use words to make sentences many times until they go into your permanent memory and you will never forget them. A good teacher can help you to practice the same words in different contexts and will not introduce too many new words at a time. He will also never pretend you to learn by heart sentences where you do not understand the meaning of each word and the grammatical structure. Both are needed if you want to reuse what you have learned to make new, different sentences. (*) For instance, the word for both why and because in Italian is perché. By learning this word and recognizing its structure, you can easily learn three words in one, since per is for and che is what. So why/because is for what in Italian. By the way, because in English is not the contraction of be cause but comes from by cause. The latter would be per causa in Italian. Causa comes directly from Latin. Because of me in Italian is just by cause my/mine or per causa mia. It is not by my cause, because (no pun intended) in Italian we put an adjective after the noun in order to restrict its sense: per mia causa would be correct but there is no stress on mia if put before the noun it refers to. In other words by putting mia after causa we mean mine and not anothers cause and that equates to stress my. This is typical of Italian: you can revert the order with other adjectives as well, not only possessives. 3) USE A METHOD WITH YOUR LANGUAGE PARTNER Use a method to structure your language exchanges and make them more fruitful. With a proper method you can make the most of the usually limited time available to practice languages with native speakers on an exchange basis. First, make sure your language partner has the same level of knowledge of your mother tongue as you have of his/her native language. Also, make sure he/she is a native speaker of the language you want to learn. Second, arrange the exchange so that both languages can be practiced at the same time, so neither will get bored. Third, do not be afraid to ask questions to clear up any doubt, e.g. ask about word choices and correct structure and possible variations on the same sentence. Avoid using complex grammar terminology, which most native speakers do not know. Answer the same questions for your own language too, so your partner can learn something as well. Fourth, build up complex sentences step-by-step, by starting from simple ones, adding to them and joining shorter sentences to obtain longer ones. A funny and informative way to practice with a language partner is to simulate a conversation between two people in a real-life situation e.g. between a customer and a salesperson in a shop, two friends in a pub, two students taking an exam together, two friends who meet up after a long time etc. The possibilities are endless and no personal questions are involved. Invent the dialog on the spot, without any prior preparation, starting from a sentence and adding more sentences as you go. In turn, you and your partner make up the next sentence of the dialog in the languages you want to learn, the other checks whether the sentence is correct and translates it in the other language. So you both make the effort to make the sentence in your target language and have their phrase checked by a native. Any mistakes should be pointed out by trying to explain both what is wrong, why it is wrong and how to make the sentence grammatical. You can first pronounce a sentence and then write it down in a text chat. The exchange transcript can be copied and pasted and used for brushing up by both. About the author:  Antonio Bonifati is an Italian language teacher for speakers of English. He has a fondness for both natural and formal languages, like those used in mathematics and computer science to unambiguosly describe information processing and trying to simulate human intelligence. In 2010 he developed a mnemonic language teaching method primarily based on the structure of languages. Antonio has a 5-star feedback rating, and has taught over 52 sessions on italki. 3 Tips for Learning Any Language Learning a language can be challenging, so here are 3 tips from one of our italki tutors on what to focus on in order to reach your goal! 1) LEARN THE STRUCTURE Learn the structure first, with limited lexicon, by making up a lot of sentences, with the help of a native friend or teacher.

How to Help Your Child With Algebra

How to Help Your Child With AlgebraBeing able to help your child with algebra is not difficult to do. The issue is knowing how to help your child with algebra. It is possible for your child to learn the basics of math while also doing something fun and exciting that will help him or her to learn, get better grades, and enjoy learning in general.One way of how to help your child with algebra is to build on something that they are already familiar with. There are many math skills that can be taught with games and toys. There are plenty of math games and math toys that can help your child learn more about multiplication, addition, and fraction. Your child will learn a great deal about math by playing these games and toys and, hopefully, these games and toys will become an addiction that will last for years.Remember that your child will have a difficult time learning algebra and getting high grades if there is no math in their life. Children who are bored with learning how to do basic ma th skills, in particular, tend to gravitate toward other activities that help them to focus on math. They may start doing crossword puzzles, or work out at the gym, or read books on math problems and math strategies.If you are looking for ways to help your child with algebra, the best thing to do is to get your child involved in something that will help them to learn and to have fun at the same time. Math can become a fun game for your child when they learn how to set it up and when they learn how to play it. If your child has the right kind of games and toys that can help them to get the hang of math, they will be able to see that they can have fun learning and they will also see that math is not so scary.You may be able to start your child in math by introducing them to a simple game like put and take. Put and take involves counting the cards in a deck while the person on the bottom tries to count the cards from the top to the bottom. This is a good math game for your child to get them started with math and there are many places where your child can find this game or one similar to it. Some games like these allow your child to join in the game so that you can provide them with extra skills in math as well.Another way to help your child with algebra is to get them involved in a project that has to do with math. It could be something like building a model of an airplane or working on an advanced math puzzle. Some games and puzzles may be a good idea for your child's parents or guardians to help with the task because they know the child better than anyone else.Just make sure that you use your child's strengths, and they don't become bored with the process of learning math. It is a good idea to allow your child to choose the project they want to do and make sure that they choose something that will be interesting for them. If you let them choose the math based on the number of lines and blocks, they will figure out the project themselves and if they choose a mat h based on the square feet of the house, then you can spend a lot of time helping them get the hang of the process.

My Mastering Chemistry - How Does It Work?

My Mastering Chemistry - How Does It Work?So what does My Mastering Chemistry really do? You're probably wondering about some of the basics here. What exactly does it do? Is it a long term program for advanced students or is it a one time thing for those who want to get a good grasp on this subject?The idea behind Masters is quite simple and will appeal to any type of chemist. It is a group of learners who have undergone a program that is similar to an advanced chemistry course. This is done with many small group discussions on a particular topic. Usually a question is asked by one of the participants, the response is a quick and basic answer and then the question is followed by another answer from the rest of the group. The process repeats over until all the answers are prepared.This process has been shown to greatly increase the speed at which new knowledge is acquired. This is not always the case in an actual chemistry course, especially if the actual class size is much larger. Th e group format works well for this and makes learning much easier and more efficient.If you've never taken a course like this before you should at least go for the sample course as it is best to see if it suits your needs. The sample has questions that the learner can answer and be sure to follow the normal course instructions. The main thing to remember is that you will need to spend some time to learn the techniques used in this course. Once you know how to do this, you will understand that the entire course is one big step forward.My Mastering Chemistry is a five day course with a lot of time for you to really dig into the material. By the end of the course you should have a better understanding of any subject that you've been studying.Overall you will get the same results from this course as you would from any other such course, just in a shorter period of time. The one thing that makes this program so popular is that you get to learn all you need to know in this short amount of time.At the end of this course you should feel confident in your ability to understand chemistry more thoroughly.

Introvert Whisperer / How can you plan to achieve your current Goal - Introvert Whisperer How can you plan to achieve your current Goal? My favourite quote is Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail. A quote that always keeps me on my toes and helps me plan better in life. When it comes to meeting a Goal I like to think of my end goal as a Destination and the path to attain the Goal as a journey. However, goal setting and goal achievement are different things. A majority of people drop their goals in the middle because they have no clear plan or it is too much of an inconvenience to reach a goal. Are Your Goals Worth Your Dedication?       As per an article published on inc, 92% of people fail to achieve their goals. (source) Worse Businesses fail when they do not plan. As per a recent survey, inadequate planning is the first reason for  business failures in Australia. Well! Thats a ridiculously high failure rate. Do you know the reason behind the failure? To start with, most of the goals are set emotionally and not rationally. To give you an example you see your colleague from office buy a luxurious car and you driven by emotions, set a goal to obtain a better car. Now, thats one unrealistic Goal with no clear road map. Secondly, the goals we set are without a clear plan. We the mortals set goals without realising the hard work it requires to reach a goal. Whatever your Goal is (small or big), you must be clear about the possible outcomes and consequences. A long journey cant be covered without a proper plan. Are you struggling with meeting your Goal? I have spent years failing to meet my goals until I decided to take things in my hand and follow the simple steps to reaching my Goal. Here are some simple-to-follow steps to planning and achieving your Goals:     Write Down Your Goals:   Does it sound like a no-brainer? Its not! The logic behind writing is to tame our fickle mind that changes its goalposts based on situations. Once you have it written in front of your eyes you can be focussed and not change the Goal at your convenience. Just note down the reasons (that inspired you to make these goals), and the outcomes (that you are expecting to get) -It will inspire you to keep going with your work. You might as well stick this note in front of your work desk. It wont let you forget about your goals. 8% of people  amalgamate their long-term and short-term goals to reach the Destination. And 14% of the population has plans, but they dont write it. Only 3% of people note down their goals. Just by writing your Goal, you are putting yourself in a small percentage of the population that has taken the first step to meet their goals. I will take a real-life example to help you carefully follow the steps. Lets say I want to buy a home of 1.1 Million USD in 5 years. Thats my Goal. I will write it here again I want to buy a home of 1.1 Million USD in 5 years. Analyse the Challenges:   Time to move a step forward. Write all the challenges you might face while achieving the Goal and how you plan to tackle them. Its evident that you will face a lot of problems along your way. Believe me- the more problems youd face, the more mature youd become. Indeed, you cant figure out all the challenges in advance. Let me demonstrate the above with an example. Lets assume it is a realistic goal, and my salary can cover the EMIs after I gather 200K USD as a down payment. The challenges I might face are: Not being able to save enough every month to meet the down payment goal. I have been indiscipline in the past with the small savings goal. I will have to stick to clear, small saving goals to meet the ultimate Goal. Some of my money is invested in the stock market, and though I am expecting a decent return on it to contribute to my down payment goal, the market might fluctuate, and I might not get the returns as expected. I need to plan for any medical expense that is not covered by my insurance as any medical emergency can put a big dent in my pocket and will not help me reach my Goal. Now, set up a road map or plan based on the challenges you might face back-up plans accordingly. Time to set the Strategy:   You have completed all the groundwork. Now, its time to make a step-by-step strategy to execute your plans. For example: In my case, the Strategy revolves around saving enough, keeping a tight leash on my monthly expenses, and moving forward with discipline. By executing these small steps, you get nearer to accomplishing the right steps to reach the Goal: Find out the stepping stones for your purposes. Divide more significant tasks into small manageable actions. Make a routine and allocate different tasks to different times of a day. Write down your strategies with their desired outcomes. Start executing the task and work consistently. Mark the tasks that have been completed. Follow the steps, and you will enjoy your journey. For instance, if you want to be a successful blogger, you can divide the tasks into something like below: Choosing a niche Analysing your competitors sites Designing your site Finding out topics, keywords, and all Content writing and content marketing and so on Track Your Progress:   Measure your performance time-to-time to check your progress. Make a daily routine for assessment. In my case, I would check for the money I have saved and how I have saved every month to track my progress. If you are improving, you are on the right track. Otherwise, its time to re-assess your strategies and modify it. If you feel one strategy is no longer serving your purpose, change it immediately. Sticking to it and waiting for success will waste your time and delay your progress. Starting a journey is always exciting. However, the challenge is to keep going with the same enthusiasm. You need to bear the ups and downs throughout the journey, which might come at a cost (emotional and financial). There is a good chance that you will run out of motivation, especially when things are not going as per your expectations. What do you do in the face of adversity? Find the exact problem and seek a long term solution. Short term fixes never help. Watch inspiring videos or read biographies of successful -people to keep you motivated. Whenever you get stuck somewhere, recall the results that will be waiting for you after these struggles.  Learn to Accept Failures as failures help you learn and succeed better. Always remember Rome wasnt built in a day. Have patience and follow a routine. You are closer to your Destination than you anticipated. The majority of people are not persistent and give us before they reach their Goal. Dont make this mistake. Keep on working until you fulfill your dreams. Wrapping Up   If youre determined about your goals, you have crossed the first step. However, determination only works when it is complemented with persistence and perseverance. Author Bio
