Signs that your child might have adhd

4/8/2020

 
Enjoy the following guest post about signs to look for that your child might have ADHD.

Miguel Juancho “MJ” Fernandez is Communications and Special Projects Department at Makati Medical Center in the Philippines.

Signs your child might have ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is commonly misunderstood, especially in children. In fact, some people may incorrectly label children who are too loud, unruly, or misbehaving as having ADHD.
 
The US Census Bureau estimates that roughly 7.2% of children worldwide have ADHD, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finding that boys are more likely to be diagnosed with the disorder than girls.
 
What makes this disorder hard to diagnose is distinguishing its symptoms from typical habit patterns in kids. After all, children are typically loud, active, and have short attention spans. The key is being able to draw the line between the two.

4 simple pieces of financial planning advice for parents

2/20/2020

 
Enjoy the following guest post by Sara Bailey with financial planning advice for parents.

When Sara lost her husband, she quickly learned there is no handbook for those who have lost a partner and suddenly find themselves raising children on their own. She created TheWidow.net to support her fellow widows and widowers.
4 SIMPLE PIECES OF FINANCIAL PLANNING ADVICE FOR PARENTS
Sharing your life with a spouse or domestic partner isn’t always a walk in the park, especially when you add children into the mix. According to the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), approximately 49 percent of married couples with young children regularly fight about household chores and responsibilities—and about 43 percent argue about money. Interestingly, dual-earner couples are more likely to argue about money than those with one breadwinner and one stay-at-home parent.
 
While couples with children tend to argue about money for a variety of reasons, there are several things you and your partner can do to alleviate financial tension, reduce stress, strengthen your relationship, and build a stronger financial future for your family. Arguing isn’t necessarily a bad thing but creating a good financial plan will help you and your partner to address your money concerns in a more productive way. For some simple tips that will help you and your partner to build a healthy financial plan for the future, read on!

Enjoy this guest post with tips on getting a better night's sleep.

TRY THESE IDEAS FOR A BETTER NIGHT'S SLEEP
Life in this modern world can be pretty hectic! The day often brings with it a seemingly endless amount of responsibilities — kids need to be picked up and dropped off, financial obligations must be attended to, work deadlines must be met...the list just goes on and on and on, it often seems. Life can get so busy it seems just about impossible to actually shut down and get yourself a good night’s sleep at the end of the day. Instead of going into relaxation mode, bedtime can produce anxiety and can suddenly seem every bit as much a chore as anything else!
 
Without even knowing it, many of us might be sabotaging our ability to fall asleep, hours before our heads even hit that pillow. Sometimes things that we do during the day can interfere with the ability to fall asleep when we’re supposed to, but it doesn’t have to be this way! There are plenty of ways you can actively help yourself get a good night’s sleep, so you can enjoy life rested and feeling great.

MISTAKES PARENTS SHOULD AVOID WHEN PLANNING A WEDDING
Planning a wedding is hard work. Even the simplest of ceremonies can cause a decent amount of anxiety. The bigger and grander you want your event to be, the more work you have to take on to make that dream a reality. When there are kids involved, planning can be even more complicated.
 
Whether you’re marrying your children’s other biological parent or creating a blended family, there are unique stressors hidden inside of the “regular” planning that other couples don’t face. Fortunately, once you know to watch out for these pitfalls, you’ll have a much easier time avoiding them.

BEST WAYS TO BOOST YOUR CHILD'S IMMUNE SYSTEM
We’re always surrounded by endless masses of germs and bacteria in our everyday lives – and for the most part, our bodies and immune systems are able to fight them off efficiently! Unfortunately though, sometimes we do get sick…even the smallest of our family members. When kids get sick, it can be difficult to watch them feel crummy – even though many doctors approximate that 6-8 colds each year is normal as their immune systems learn to fight off bacteria and their bodies get stronger.

Thankfully, there are some ways that you can help boost your child’s immune system naturally in order to help battle any oncoming germs. Let’s take a look at three things you can do!
