- Full-day kindergarten: Is my child ready?
In September full-day kindergarten will a part of every school in British Columbia. The question on many parents' minds is: Is my child ready? Experts say no single factor determines whether a child is ready for kindergarten. Your child will be expected to have some level of readiness in a variety of learning areas, also known as 'developmental domains,' by the time he or she enters kindergarten. The B.C. Ministry if Education lists early learning key developmental domains as cognitive [thinking and understanding], physical, language and communication, social and emotional.

- Full Day Kindergarten: What is Play-Based Learning? In September 2011 all schools in B.C. will offer full-day kindergarten programs that will include a play-based learning curriculum. Some parents may wonder what this means, and how play effects the development of their child and their learning outcomes.
Play is the work of childhood and is paramount to a child's development; it is recognized by the United Nations High Commission for human rights. Yes, it is the right of all children the world over to simply play. But what is play-based learning?

- Full-day kindergarten: Stress busting for school kids.
This September full-day kindergarten will part of every school in British Columbia.
We often forget how stressful school can be for children, and many these days are showing signs of stress overload, even in the preschool and elementary years.
Stress is not always bad, since it is our body's reaction to demands on our time, energy and strength. Stress keeps us motivated to work hard and achieve our goals. But being overstressed can cause us to become ill and discouraged. Click here to read more by our Yvonne McKenna

Autism - Motivating students who have autism spectrum disorders. Motivating individuals who have autism spectrum disorder is an essential but often difficult challenge. It is essential because, by definition, they have restricted repertoires of interests and skills needed for community living and coping. Without planned, positive experiences, these individuals often become increasingly victimized by their autism as they age. With successful experiences, each can become a victor who lives, works, and plays in the community. It is difficult, at least in part, because people who have autism are particularly vulnerable to key factors which impact motivation. Click here to read more
- Autism Treatments That Work By Alanna Hendren
Finally there is research that reviewed all the various forms of autism treatment for children and came to some conclusions that families can use to determine what is best for their children. The area of services and supports to people with developmental disabilities has long been plagued with strategies that have little support from the scientific community and virtually no research that proves their effectiveness. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (www.ahrq.gov) has now issued a comparative effectiveness review for children (ages 2 to 12) with autism spectrum disorders. The report is based on research conducted by the Vanderbilt Evidence-based Practice Center. Click here to read more

5 Reasons Why Autism Moms Rock!
The words that change your life..."Your child has autism". by Kymberly Grosso. The words that change your life..."Your child has autism". They tie mothers together in a way that others can't really understand. Because autism crosses all social, economic and cultural boundaries, autism moms come from countries all around the world and all walks of life. I've met autism moms on Facebook, in autism support meetings and in school. Some are acquaintances, and some I am honored to call close friends. I am struck by their love for their children and families, and I am continually inspired by them.From running support groups to advocating on behalf of our children, these women are passionate, fearless and a force to be reckoned with. When I look at the autism moms I know, it is easy to see commonalities despite their many differences. So my fellow autism Moms, here's my 5 top reasons why you rock: Click here to read more - KidsMatter Social Skills Programs 2011/2012.

When bullying in her teenage daughter's Maryland public school became too intense, Ruth Zanoni decided to try home-schooling, using online education as a supplement. Ms. Zanoni's daughter, now 14, has Asperger syndrome, often described as a high-functioning form of autism. She was academically advanced in some subjects, such as writing and literature, but was sometimes overwhelmed by sensory stimulus. And her lack of social skills made her a target for bullying.Click here to read more

- Inattention, Not Hyperactivity, Is Associated With Educational Failure: School Support For ADHD Children May Be Missing The Mark. New research from the University of Montreal shows that inattention, rather than hyperactivity, is the most important indicator when it comes to finishing a high school education. "Children with attention problems need preventative intervention early in their development," explained lead author Dr. Jean-Baptiste Pingault, who is also affiliated with Sainte-Justine Mother and Child University Hospital. The researchers came to their conclusion after looking at data collected from the parents and teachers of 2000 children over a period of almost twenty years. Click here to read more

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. -- The idea by the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome was simple; plant a visibly pregnant woman at the state fair, have her drink a few beers and wait to see if people would intervene.
The short answer, at least for two hours on Wednesday night was absolutely not.

How often do you sit down to dinner with your kids? With many parents working and children involved in after school activities, connecting over the kitchen table can be a challenge! On September 26, 2011 the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University wants you to make a date to have dinner with your child. Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children, Family Dining Day began in 2001 and has since become a national movement. Research conducted by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University has shown that there is a correlation between the lack of family dinners and children who smoke, drink, or use drugs. "It's not the food that's the magic - it's the communication," says Kathleen Ferrigno, the Director of Family Day. "It sends a message to kids, that parents care about them, and are involved in their lives." During the rest of the year, if you can't find the time to have regular family dinners, "find other ways to connect with your kids," says Ferrigno. "It's about carving out that time." For the times that your child isn't home during the dinner hour, keep track of key contacts with the KidProof Safety App - it's all the info you need to get in touch with your child at your fingertips! Store info on coaches, club leaders, babysitter or daycare providers, emails and addresses, and store all of your child's friends' contact info including Facebook accounts, emails, and parents' info separately for each child. - Family Support Institute 4th Annual Trivia Night Trivia fans raised approximately $4,000 last year with your support.
