Pain in the Back: Your Child's Backpack May Not Be the Cause - Back pain is one of the most common reasons to visit a doctor. Young children are suffering from back pain much earlier than previously reported, and the use of overweight backpacks is a major contributing factor.

Preparing Your Child For Kindergarten - As a parent, you are your child�s most important teacher. It is vital that you spend quality time with your child each day. Following is a list of suggested activities to help prepare your child for starting Kindergarten in the fall.

Teacher Student Relationships - Preventing acts of childhood aggression has become a major focus for schools throughout the nation, but their efforts may be lacking a critical ingredient to their success, say Texas A&M University psychologists.

The Difference Between Tattling and Reporting - Teachers and caregivers hear from children everyday how little Johnny did this or how Sally did that. But are they just tattling, or are they really offering important information? Teaching kids the difference between tattling and reporting is essential to group harmony. Here are some things to consider.

The Importance of Home Visits: A Teacher's Point of View - Home visit-those two words used to strike fear in my heart until I got to see, first hand, the power that they hold. I'd always heard of home visits, but in my mind's eye they were conducted by counselors or truancy officers for students in crisis. It wasn't until recently, after conducting several home visits, that I experienced their advantages for myself.

Tips for Successful Group School Projects - When your child is assigned to a group project in school, it would be great if everyone did their part and things went smoothly. Unfortunately, as we all know, that's not usually what happens! While this does occur during elementary school, as parents, we see this more and more during the junior high and high school years.

When Your Child is the Bully: Five Important Issues to Address - I would recommend to any parent if they're told their child is a bully to look for the following: Uncontrolled anger, history of discipline problems, intolerance for differences, violent or aggressive behavior, expression of violence in writings or drawings, cruelty to animals, and destruction of property. These are just a few of numerous telling behaviors.

Why Do I Have to Learn Every Subject in School? - This article is for students, especially middle school and high school students. They have a question and deserve an answer: "What do I have to study this stuff for? I'm never going to use it." It is also for their parents, so they might be prepared with an answer to those age old questions when they ask.

Working Parents Can Overcome Homework Hassles - With springtime just around the bend, your son or daughter may find it more difficult than ever to concentrate on homework. If so, there's a real danger of a May-June nosedive in grades and a good chance of losing out on skills and knowledge that will be needed in the coming year.
