What are the options?

There are four ways to teach children with social difficulties:

• Home Education or Private Tutoring

• Special Schools for children with learning difficulties

• Private Education

• Regular State School that has special needs facilities

Each of these schools will have their own set of benefits and disadvantages. If you are looking for a specific type of school that teaches children with social difficulties then you may be lucky to have one close by or unfortunate to find that the closest one is 100 miles away. So your options are limited to what’s available or what you are prepared to extend to.

Which option will be best?

This depends on the child as well as the schools that are available to you in your local area. To determine which school is best, parents have to see what their child needs the most and what is going to the best learning experience. Once the parent has a good idea about which school will be best then it is worth giving it time to allow the ups and downs to settle from the initial change. Even if parents make the best choice there may still be problems. Certainly moving children from one school to another to try out the best option is going to cause problems with the constant change.

So the best thing to do to find out which school is best is to do your homework into what the schools are offering. Talk to the headmaster. Get them to be straight with you about what facilities they have, what experience they have with children with social difficulties, how they would handle behavioral problems if they occur. See what the schools are like, if they have places for children to go to when they are feeling bad or want to get away from the noise of the playground.

What are you child’s needs?

Each of the school choices can be a valid option and will depend on the needs of the child. For example children that are suffering with social difficulties may chose home schooling where their interaction with others can be more closely controlled. Children that suffer with more severe learning difficulties or concentration levels may need more patient and understanding and so a special needs school may be best. The following is a good checklist for things to consider when considering what type of school may be necessary.

• Physical abilities

• Concentration level when learning

• Concentration level with others

• Ability to interact with others

• Ability to conform to rules

• Ability to deal with ridicule/bullying

• Ability to control own behavior and safety

• Ability to be unsupervised

• Self confidence and need for motivation

Some seem a little harsh to think about but these are serious issues that should be considered. For example, some children with social difficulties have a tendency to run out of class when their environment feels threatening, so you would not want to send them to a school where they can be easily lost or could spend time unsupervised. Some children are overwhelmed by the size of the school or number of children so you may want to send them to a small school with a small number of children.

Whatever your options are the choice is not an easy one. So if you are deciding between a specialist school that deals only with children with social difficulties, a private school that has a special needs program and achieves great results, a state school that has small class sizes (not likely), or even home education the choice may not be so easy to make. This is why the choice has to come down to the type of child because they could do great things in a low performing school or perform badly in a high performing school.

The best choice is a school that will make them feel the best, the most motivated, the safest and that they get the most from. So whether you chose home schooling, a special school, a private or even regular state school, if you choose a school that allows them to enjoy learning the most then you are not likely to go wrong.

First, get up an extra half hour to an hour before your children do. Make your coffee, read the newspaper, whatever you like to do just to start the day off relaxing. Eat a little breakfast to get you going. I personally enjoy sitting out on my back porch, drinking my decaf coffee, and enjoying some fresh air. Nice and relaxing not to mention quiet. Dont think about anything other than just relaxing. I know its hard because there are so many things you could be doing, but dont. Take the time for yourself. Everybody demands a lot out of you and you play so many rolls during the day, wife, mother, cook, house cleaner and educator. Its a lot of stress and you deserve the time for yourself.

Next, take about 15-20 minutes to do some exercise. If your children are awake, they can join in too. It will be great for the both of you. I know if your anything like me you dread the “E” word. Im not telling you to go lift weights or do some extremely high impact workout. A low impact workout will do just fine. I prefer yoga for relaxation and exercise and your children will have fun with it too.

Get ready for the day. This is a step that most of us stay home moms just dont do. Its easy to not get ready for the day, or throw on a pair of sweats. However, I have found that when you get ready for the day you actually feel better about yourself and it reflects in your attitude for the day. Positive mental attitude will help give your children the best you.

Get dinner started. I know its morning but night time is a very stressful time for all families. If you have an idea of what you are making for dinner it will relieve a little stress off of you in the evening. Thaw your meat, throw in a crock pot meal, whatever you have planned for your evening meal. Now your ready to start your morning homeschool routine and your refreshed and ready to go with no worries.

In the evening, take another 30 minutes for yourself. Take a nice relaxing bath, go for a walk, write in a journal, whatever you can do to take time for yourself. Remember this time is for you. Dont do too much thinking or worrying at this time. This is time to think about NOTHING but relaxing. You can worry later!

Before you go to bed, make sure the house is clean and ready to go for tomorrow. Do your dishes so you dont have to worry about them when you get up. Set out your favorite coffee mug and get your coffee ready to start in the morning. Its going to be another refreshing day tomorrow!

If we have made the decision to Home School then a change of life is going to take place between all members of the family. There has to be a commitment from every member of the family – because Home Schooling is a family affair, a family lifestyle.

We all know that when we have made the right decision in any aspect of our lives, we have that warm fuzzy feeling and we can move forward knowing that what we are doing is right. Because of doing what is right for our self , or for our children in this instance, we are keen to activities, people, etc., to help us in educating our children.

We must remember that our responsibility for our children did not end when we gave birth. It continues throughout their entire life. We are creating a family here that does not end when the child leaves home. We will have made wonderful memories with these children and have created a foundation of love and a home of learning and a joy of learning.

A joy of learning! Nothing is more satisfying as to watch a child learn a new skill or understand a concept and then want to learn more and more. This cannot be learned in a public classroom setting. When we have that one on one educational experience with our child, we are developing a relationship that will never be diminished over time. That child will always remember the time a parent took to teach them a concept in math, or about the Renaissance Era. As they learn, you learn and then discussions take place and the child freely expresses his likes or dislikes about the subject. There are no right or wrong answers and there is no fear of expressing an opinion.

We must ask ourselves this question: “Am I willing to make the time commitment and the other sacrifices that come with creating a home of learning?”

One idea… Unit studies. Doing a unit study with your child is one way in which you can help your child(ren) discover their own gifts and talents, as they learn about the world at our side. Unit studies can provide you with some wonderful experiences. So, take time to use unit studies, to begin a trail of discovery for both you AND your child(ren). This truly can be a powerful journey of discovery, because when you give your child(ren) a chance to follow their interests, the outcome can be surprising. Unit studies provide you with this opportunity. They also give your child(ren) a chance to obtain a better understanding of the way things work, the history of the world, their own abilities, and much more.

Some people seem to think that if you use unit studies that there will be holes in their child(ren)s education. Truth be told though, no student ever completely finishes a textbook. The shame in this lies in the fact that the “good” stuff usually lies toward the end of the textbook. With a good education children are taught how to be able to think and how to build a sound foundation of learning. The whole point is to build a strong tree of knowledge for your child(ren) where upong they are able to place more information over the course of their lifetime.

As a mother, youre never going to be able to teach your child(ren) about everything, but you can teach your child(ren) how to think, how to investigate, and how to research and dig for answers. This, in and of itself, will be a priceless education for those who will be successful in a rapidly changing world. Unit studies hold all of this power within their “papers.” When writing them, my intention is to provide this power for you to unpack for your child(ren). Enjoy!

Unfortunately, personalities and play styles may sometimes clash
during these get-togethers. However, if you are prepared, you
can help these playdates go so much more smoothly. Here are 10
ways to ensure a perfect playdate.

1. Invite a small and even number of children. Inevitably, with
an odd number of children, one child will be left out of the
fun. Plus, fewer children mean fewer conflicts, so limit your
guests to two or four, including your own child.

2. You do not have to babyproof your house completely, but make
it as safe as possible and alert parents to potential dangers.
Perhaps set aside a designated play area and close the doors to
any rooms you do not want children to enter.

3. Put away favorite toys so your child will not have to worry
about sharing. Also, put away popular toys if you only have one.
For example, if you have only one riding toy, youngsters are
likely to fight over it, so put it away until after the
playdate. Alternatively, you could ask your guests to bring
their own favorite riding toys.

4. Dont expect too much socialization. Most toddlers and
preschoolers parallel play, so do not push them to play
together. Even when youngsters play side by side, they learn a
lot just by watching each other.

5. Intervene in disputes only when necessary and offer
alternative plans. When there is a conflict with sharing, let
the children work things out on their own unless the situation
escalates to violence. In this case, you may need to distract
them with other activities, such as blocks, puzzles, or bubbles,
so have items like these on hand.

6. Encourage cooperative play with toys such as bubbles,
modeling clay, blocks, sand box, or age-appropriate games. Some
parents find that starting the playdate with one of these shared
activities gets the playdate off to a good start. Definitely do
not turn on the television or put on a video! The children are
supposed to play during a playdate, not watch television.

7. Offer snacks. This is a great way to calm things down if
things start getting out of hand or to liven things up if the
kids are bored. You can even include the children in
preparation. However, check with the parent first to make sure
the snack will not interfere with dinner or to find out about
any allergies. If a snack time would interfere with the next
meal, at least offer beverages to your guests.

8. Plan for the playdate to last less than two hours. Children
will get tired of each other and cranky after about an hour and
a half to two hours. It is better to leave the children wanting
more than to extend the time and have the playdate end with
fights and tears.

9. Give a five-minute warning before leaving. This will give the
children time to adjust to leaving.

10. Help pick up toys. Encourage the kids to clean up together
so that no one will be left with a mess. Not to mention, this
will teach your children cooperation and good manners.

Now that you are prepared for a playdate, invite those little
friends over!

If you are a new webmaster and would like to start an internet business for the long term, dont waist your time experimenting with free or cheap tools, you need to invest some money now and get quality results. Do it right the first time!

If you are a veteran webmaster, good for you, like myself, you probably have a lot of good and bad experience to share. However, dont you have projects you want to do over again and dont you want to do it right this time?

Four (4) software you must have:

1) XSitePro – http://www.XSitePro.com – The most awesome WYSIWYG Web Builder! Website creation does not take me days any more! For three years, I put on hold reconstructing my first website ChristianHomeschoolers.com because I dreaded the task of redoing each page manually with html codes. I searched for the best website creator for many months! A year ago, I stumbled into a review site written by a happy XSitePro user. The way I look at web building changed! I am able to build any site in less than half the time it used to take me! I now have a website factory churning multiple sites in just a short period of time! It cost me $197.

2) Article Miner – http://www.ArticleMiner.com – makes it soooo easy to find free content. Looking for articles on any subject? Retrieve articles on any topic and convert them to web pages in minutes right in your desktop! It cost me $97.

3)Alias Find and Replace – http://www.aliassoftware.com – for easier content search, edit, and management. Have you ever wanted to change parts of web pages but couldt do it because you would have to do each page manually? You do not have to fear this task anymore, get this software and make changes to your files in minutes! It cost me $19.95.

4)The Logo Creator – http://www.thelogocreator.com – create your own quality logos in minutes. I used to hire different people to create banners and logos for my sites. Most of them I bought for cheap on eBay . However, by the time I totalled the fees I paid to different folks, I had already paid more than $200! The Logo Creator only cost me $29.95!

Lets count the cost! $197 + $97 + $19.95 + $29.95= $343.90! That is a small investment! And its tax-deductible!

The real cost of not having these tools are your valuable time and missed revenue opportunities!

I paid more than that to someone to fix only one website! If I had these tools to begin with, I would not have errors in my codes and web pages! My site would have been functioning properly and visitors would have been clicking on ads and making purchases though affiliate links!

These tools are yours permanently and you will use them over and over again so dont be cheap! If you are serious about web building and expanding your internet business, these are tools you cannot afford not to have!

Treat your internet business as if you would treat a franchise or any other business and you will reap great returns!

I am 100% convinced that the above tools have helped me in growing my internet business, you should consider investing in them as well.

But then again, if you are absolutely positive that you cannot afford buying your own tools, visit the following websites for their Free Scripts.

Breaking the mold of being a child is difficult.  The mere addition of years does not make that happen.  The dependency many adults choose, in fact, keeps them in a child-like mentality.  If the doctor makes our health decisions, an accountant our financial ones, a minister our moral ones and a politician is left to decide our rights, how is that different from a child being told what to do by teachers and parents? 

Substituting authority figures and shifting dependencies does not equal maturity.  

Childhood is necessarily filled with lots of dos and don’ts, rights and wrongs, rewards and punishments.  However, children who are well disciplined are not necessarily self-motivated.  Tell children not to tattle and perhaps they won’t – for a while.  Teach them ethical concepts of confidentiality and loyalty by touching their inner sense of conscience, and tattling is more likely to be removed from the personality.  Discipline a child who followed the neighborhood ringleader and threw apples at passing cars, and perhaps, just maybe, he won’t throw apples again.  By giving him self-confidence he will more likely have the courage to turn from peer pressure.  Tell a child not to eat so many French fries and perhaps she won’t – until the next chance when you’re not around.  Teach her the logic behind the value of natural foods and the damaging effects of food processing and you have given her a life-long road map to better health.  

Growing up is about thinking – reasons, causes, consequences, exercising conscience and the long-range view.  Unfortunately, as we distance ourselves from the natural world, in our comfortable homes, air conditioned automobiles, and cushy jobs, we think less and less as we become more and more dependent.  We live in a time when virtually every need can be met with barely getting out of a chair.  No hunting and gathering today.  Nope, refrigerators are full, and if they aren’t we can drive to a grocery.  If we’ve incapacitated ourselves enough we can get the nearest handicapped space and use a battery cart so we don’t even have to walk to do that.  Back home we have every imaginable modern appliance making life “easier.”  The television set is there handy for more dumbing down and to give us a rest from that grueling trip to the store and fast food stop on the way home.

Our modern world of convenience is a health trap, both mentally and physically.  But we clamor for more convenience, more leisure, less responsibility, more entertainment and less work. We need the opposite, more work and activity for our physical health and more control over our lives for our mental health.  We’re like sheep begging to be led to the slaughter.   The less we take care of ourselves, the more we become dependent on others, the more we put ourselves at their mercy.  Will our best interests be served by others or ourselves?  Does history teach us that when we surrender to others and trust that they will look after us that that turns out to be the case?  The rise and fall of nations throughout time scream a resounding no!  Will we learn from history or repeat it? 

Although it is difficult in modern, interdependent, complex society, think of yourself as a sovereign.  Claim your inalienable rights or you have none.  Ultimately you are the best steward of your own welfare.  By regaining control you move from childhood and make life more interesting, exhilarating and healthy.

Here are some ideas of what I mean:

1.  Need a repair or home improvement?  Try it yourself.  Buy “do-it-yourself” books and ask hardware and lumberyard clerks how to do it. 

2.  Sew and mend your own clothes. 

3.  Plant a garden. 

4.  Cut each other’s hair. 

5.  Clean your own teeth. 

6.  Home school your children. 

7.  Represent yourself in court. 

8.  Write letters to right social wrongs.  Express yourself after you are fully informed. 

9.  Help solve the environmental crises – plant trees, recycle, reduce, reuse and get active in protecting common areas and resources. 

10.  Be as healthy, strong, and as smart as you can be. You learn how to do it; dont try to hire somebody else to. 

11.  Cook (actually, learn more about how to uncook) your own meals. 

12.  Prepare your pet’s food. 

13.  Study the Constitution (when was the last time you read the contract between your government and you?) and assert your rights. 

14.  Be your own doctor.  Study and explore ways to heal yourself and develop your full health potential. 

15.  Learn to play an instrument.  Try it on your own without lessons.  Always look for opportunities to say, “I did it all by myself.” 

16.  Challenge “experts.”  If they imply you’re too dumb to understand – fire them. 

17.  Develop your own business – full or part-time.  Make it something you enjoy as much as a hobby.  It doesn’t have to be a big moneymaker.  It simply has to be yours. 

18.  Or, make your job your own business by doing more than expected.  Be creative and always try to improve.  Be a leader at work, not a follower. 

19.  Bike, walk or roller blade to work.  Free yourself from the automobile as much as possible.  The sunshine, fresh air and exercise pay some health bonuses as well. 

20.  Write a book or an article.  Yes, you.  Write about anything of interest, or about which you are capable of researching.  How about an autobiography?  Youre the best expert on that.  If you can get it published, fine.  If not, do it yourself. 

21.  Learn a new sport – but don’t take lessons.  Watch, read and buy videos.  Surprise yourself and others with what you can do on your own. 

22.  Stop buying.  Necessities and some treats once in a while are fine.  But 50 pairs of high heels or 40 neckties?  Say no to the marketers.  Make a stand with your dollars.  Support companies of conscience.  Use your money in some way to improve our world.  You be the benefactor.  You take control.  Serve others; don’t demand that they serve you. 

23.  Take the attitude that if another flesh and blood person can do it, so can you.  It might take you longer and you might not do it as well, but so what? 

Get the idea?

Granted, you can’t become totally self-sufficient, but every step you make in that direction – the more you can thumb your nose at “experts” and government dependence – the more life you will have, the longer you will live it and the healthier you will be.  A population busy taking care of itself will value and protect the freedom to do so.  A population ignorant, dependent and with their hands out to government invites despotism. 

Don’t let modern life smother you with its beguiling lure of ease and comfort.  Life is hard work if you do it right.  The goal of life is not some phantasmagoric end we might imagine (forever elusive, incidentally), but the journey well traveled with you at the helm.

Here are some ways parents can promote sharing and cooperation
and prevent conflicts with sharing.

Show them how to share. Instead of telling them to take turns,
show them how to take turns. If a little boy and little girl are
fighting over a toy, for example, explain that the little boy
will play with it for a short while and then it will be the
girls turn. Help her find another toy to play with until its
her turn. After a short while, remind the little boy that it is
the little girls turn with the toy. Then, if necessary, help
him find something else to play with. Praise him for remembering
to give her a turn, and praise her for waiting patiently.

Alternatively, show them how to play with the same toy together,
such as rolling a ball or pushing a truck back and forth to each
other. Games such as these foster cooperation in children.

Prevent conflicts with sharing. If you are hosting a playdate in
your home, have two or three of the same toy so youngsters do
not have to share. If this proves impossible, have several of
the same type of toy, such as several dolls or several cars.

Alternatively, because toddlers find it difficult to share
materials from a common pile, divide the toys into separate
piles for each child. If you make it clear that one pile belongs
to this child, and another pile belongs to that child, you will
avoid a lot of arguments among the children.

Another way to alleviate problems is by helping your children
put away favorite toys before any playmates arrive. This will
not only prevent conflicts with sharing, but also prevent toys
from accidentally getting broken. Also, if you are visiting
someone else and your child wants to bring a special toy, remind
him that he will have to share it with the other children.
Encourage him to leave it at home or in the car, or suggest that
he choose something else.

In any case, remind your toddler that his toys remain his.
Reassure him that his friends will not take his toys home with
them.

Teach them why they need to share. Adults share because we care
about the other persons feelings and because it makes us feel
good to make others happy. Give your children opportunities to
help other children so they will learn that it feels good to
help others. For example, let them pass out the snacks or show
another child how to build a puzzle.

Help children learn to recognize other peoples feelings by
specifically pointing out the consequences of their actions.
Tell them, “Brendon is crying because you took his toy away. How
do you think he feels? How did you feel when someone took your
doll away from you?”

Praise good behavior by being specific too. Dont just say, “How
nice of you.” Instead, say something like, “You shared because
youre the kind of person who likes to help others. Youre a
good friend to Brendon. Look how happy he is that you shared
your toy.”

Read stories about sharing and talk about them. You can use
books about sharing, such as Mine!: A Sesame Street Book about
Sharing by Linda Hayward, I Am Sharing by Mercer Mayer,
Harriets Halloween Candy by Nancy L. Carlson, and Its Mine by
Leo Lionni. Or you can bring up the topic of sharing as it comes
up in other stories, such as the seven dwarves sharing their
home with Snow White.

Finally, teach by example. Let your children see you sharing,
cooperating and being considerate of others, and they will try
to imitate you.

Despite your best intentions and preventive measures, issues
with sharing will likely crop up anyway. Just try to take it all
in stride.

Some are active, some are sleepy. Some are strictly for online business related topics; some allow more OT (Off Topics) and social interaction. There are forums for every imaginable topic: Entrepreneurs, International online business, Health related fields, Technology, Copywriters, Web Designers, Work at Home Moms, Programmers, Finance, Ebay, Job Seekers, Internet Marketing, Writers, Inventors and Virtual Assistants, just to barely scratch the surface of whats out there on the World Wide Web.

Time management skills need to be paramount when participating in online forums. You can very easily get swallowed up and spend hours and hours online networking with others who have online businesses, yet you miss real opportunities to get some productive work done!

From a online business standpoint, there are two areas you should consider before participating in a loop. Its always good to have a network of like-minded online business people. If youre a web designer, hang out with other designers. You can help and support each other. If youre just starting out, you can learn from the pros.

Dont get stuck though, just hanging out with your own kind. Youre not going to be very successful trying to promote your design services to other designers. This is where balance comes in. Pop into the boards, check new posts of interest, ask or answer questions, then get out. Then move onto groups who need your services or products. Who is your target market and where do they hang out? Go there. Word of caution: Do not go to these forums with the sole purpose of SPAMMING the group. Youll be tossed out on your ear quicker than you can blink if that is your sole purpose. People like to do business with people they know and trust – or at the very minimum have at least heard of.

If youre trying to sell your curriculum to a group of home school parents and you just pop in, spew your sales rap all over the boards then expect any sort of return, youre missing the point of online networking. Its networking – not advertising. You need to build a rapport with your other “loopies”. Then if a need arises and they know one of their own fellow networkers has that special skill or product, guess who theyll call first? You hope its YOU.

For starters check MSN, Google, Yahoo, AOL, and Ryze. Inside there are literally hundreds and thousands of groups just waiting for you. Start networking your way to online business success today!
