The new year has begun with its promise of a fresh start. Begin the school semester with a homework routine that enriches and enhances study time. Following these parameters by the Orlando preparatory school leaders will keep homework on track and easier to manage. My children walk through the front door from school with one thought on their minds: food.…
A recent report by the Florida Department of Education concerning private schools showed surprising – and almost conflicting – results. For instance, while the number of students enrolled in public schools increased this year, enrollment is down from 10 years ago. Looking at graphs does not answer the question as easily as recognizing the impact of the national and state…
Christmas is considered the favorite time of year for almost all children, and with good reason. The joy of seeing family and friends over the holidays, the giving of gifts, the parties and events and a visit from Santa Claus are reasons to celebrate; the combination is nothing short of incredible. Surprisingly, many of the stories surrounding Santa Claus are…

To instill this confidence, have your child journal at home for a set number of minutes every day. If your child can hold a pencil, he or she is capable of journaling. Drawing, writing quotes or…
Most parents have a good understanding of basic math skills, but when your children enter higher levels at their Orlando schools, math becomes quite challenging for both you and your tween. As new facts are introduced, the amount of material may overwhelm your child to the point where he or she feels frustrated and lost. Math needs to remain a…
Fall! The leaves fall, temperatures fall, and we fall prey to colds and influenza. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reports that flu activity begins escalating in October and peaks in the winter months, diminishing in March. To decrease the influence of influenza, the CDC asks that all children over the age of six months be vaccinated. While…
When my daughter was a toddler, I noticed she was happiest while in motion. Sitting down and learning were impossible for her, so we focused on activities that required activity while we were learning. I was taking a psychology course at the time and realized she had most of the characteristics of ADHD. Medication was not an option I wanted…
