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.…
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…

It seems contradictory to tell an Orlando private school student to journal to improve writing skills, but practice in writing improves performance and confidence.

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…
We have all heard the adage, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” and it has been proven that children need exercise every day to keep them healthy and fit. Most parents, however, mandate the completion of homework before any playtime occurs–much as dessert is served only after all vegetables are eaten. However, some are beginning to…
If you are like most drivers, you probably can count the exact number of school bus stops between your home and your office because it seems no matter what time you leave in the morning, you end up behind an Orlando preparatory school bus that stops every two blocks to pick up passengers. Rather than grousing and “pushing” the bus…
If you have a picky eater at home, you know how difficult it can be to get them to try anything that isn’t a chicken nugget. Some kids are afraid of trying new things, but if you make their lunch a fun experience, they may be open to trying something they’ve never had before. You’ve probably seen pictures of cute…
