Education Concerns For Every Parent – Choosing The Right Elementary School For Your Kids
Article by Ace Abbey
One of the biggest education decisions you’ll ever make for your kids is deciding what elementary school to send them to. There’s no quick and easy way to decide which school is “best,” it depends on what you want out of their education, and also the temperament and learning style of your kids. Let’s look at some of the most important considerations.
Class Size Matters
Class size is always an issue. Lots of folks think that smaller is always better, but this isn’t always the case. It all depends on how your kids learn and which would benefit them. Some kids thrive in bigger classes, while some do better when the teacher to kid ratio is smaller.
School Philosophy
Each school has their own approach to education and it’s expressed in their “school philosophy.” There are lots of ways of teaching and managing classes. Some schools group different-aged kids together so they can learn from each other. Some follow the traditional model of clear instruction and grading along strict lines. Others offer students lots of freedom and evaluate them in a more open way.
Strengths And Weaknesses
Although all elementary schools have the same basic education objectives, some are stronger in certain subjects. They may be stronger in math and science, or they may have an exceptional art or music program. This is something to consider if your kids have certain interests or talents.
Visit The School
When considering schools, there are several reasons why you should visit each school and spend some time there. First of all, you’ll want to meet staff and teachers. They should be friendly and welcoming. If they make you feel like you’re interrupting them or taking away their precious time, you’ll want to look somewhere else for your kids’ educational needs.
You should also have a look at the facilities. Just because a school is modern and expensive-looking doesn’t necessarily mean that the quality of education is higher. What you should really be looking for are the tools and resources that the kids will use to learn. One example of this is computers. Check out how many computers they have for the students to use, and how much time is used on them.
See The Curriculum
You can also have a look at the curriculum. They will give you a written curriculum of what the kids will study in each grade. Having a look at this will help you decide if it will present enough of a challenge for your child. It will also give you an idea of their teaching philosophy.
Teacher Enrichment Programs
While you’re visiting, you might want to ask them about teacher enrichment. Really good schools offer continuing training for their teachers so that they can improve their classes and also learn to work with new challenges. Teacher enrichment is always the mark of a good school.
Picking the right school to meet your kids’ education needs isn’t so difficult. It just takes some time and energy to check things out and see if your child will be comfortable and thrive there.

Leave a commentHow a piggy bank can help to teach children about money
A piggy bank can do miracles if you want to teach your children the concept of money. It is important kids understand why you need money, how to save, long-term and short-term goals and how to avoid spending all the money you have. A piggy bank makes saving funny and educational, and can help kids learn the ropes of financial responsibility.
How to manage money is often a forgotten subject in most schools. They learn the basics, for example counting money, identifying the different coins but parents have to teach them the necessary skills for money management. A piggy bank can help them in almost every aspect how to deal with money.
Here are some ways how a piggy bank can help to teach the necessary money skills:
*Understanding where money comes from
Children often think parents get their money upon their request. It is important they know money doesn’t grow on trees and they have to work to earn money. It is useful to involve your kids in your daily tasks and you give them a coin for every task they perform which they can put in their piggy bank.
*Understanding why they need to save
It is important they understand they need to save for something they want to buy. Nobody possesses always the money to buy the things they want. Teach them to save always a portion for a certain goal, maybe a new game. It is important they understand they may not spend this money for other purposes and that they only can spend this money when they have enough money in their piggy bank.
*Understanding the importance of saving money on a safe place
It is best you teach your children to store all their coins in a piggy bank. It is important they know money is valuable and need to be stored on a safe place. It is a bad habit to have their coins in different places of the house. Money needs to be handled with respect and if they store every coin in the piggy bank, they will develop a habit to care for their money with respect.
*Understanding the benefits of saving money
It is best you use a piggy bank to compare this with a real bank. It is important you teach them the importance of saving and the benefit of accumulating interest. It is best you reward your children for every coin they put in the piggy bank. They will easier understand a bank pays interest for every amount they put in their savings account. It might be a good idea to count the money they have in their piggy bank on the end of every month and you can add a certain percentile of the saved money in their piggy bank. It is wise to explain this money is the interest they have earned, just like real banks do.
*Understanding to make priorities in life
A piggy bank can help to make choices in life. They may understand the concept of money but it is wise to teach them the difference between the necessities and the desired items. It may help to use the piggy bank for buying first some necessities in life. It is important they make priorities and buy first things which they really need before they spend money on some new games. It may help also to help to distinguish short-term and long-term goals.
*Financial responsibility
It is maybe wise to use a money savvy piggy bank. It is a smarter piggy bank than the most traditional ones and has four different chambers (save, spend, donate and invest). Once they know the differences between saving, spending, donating and investing; they can make a plan to put monthly a certain percentile in the different chambers. It is a useful tool which teaches them the basics of making a budget. It is a great way to control their own finances and will help them in their further life.
Piggy banks are a fun way to teach children the basics of money management. It is important to start early and the rewards will help them to live within their budget and to stay out of debt. It is a learning process and parents can always interact when they fail in some aspects of money management. The rewards of using a piggy bank to teach your kids money management can be compared with Benjamin Franklin’s words “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest”.
Parents who take the responsibility to teach their children money management will be happy when they take financial decisions wisely and with responsibility once they are adult. A piggy bank can do miracles to help children succeed in life.

Nano Magnet Science Projects For Kids
Nanomagnets are tiny magnetic particles that are about 10 nanometers in size. The microscopic particles remain suspended in the oil when there is no magnetic field nearby. However, the nano magnets will line up along the magnetic field lines when a magnetic source is placed close to the suspension. If the magnetic field is removed, the nano magnets disperse randomly in the suspension. There are several fun and educational science projects that kids can do using Nanomagnets. Varying the magnetic field produces dynamic fluid sculptures.
Ferrofluid Sculpture
Ferrofluid is a suspension of tiny nano magnets in fluid, according to the University of Wisconsin. Use dark oil to suspend the particles. Make your own or purchase a ferrofluid online or at a chemical company. Fill the bottom of the bowl with a ferrofluid suspension. When a magnetic field is applied to the bowl from the bottom, the magnetic nano particles will align themselves along the magnetic poles to create fantastic designs. The particles compact causing the fluid to appear solid. Varying the magnetic field by moving the magnet closer and then further away cause the particles to move in the fluid. The fluid pulses and moves with the changing strength of the magnetic fields.
Make Your Own Ferrofluid
Ferrofluids are about five percent magnetic particles, 10 percent surfactant and 85 percent carrier fluid, according to the Instructables website. Magnetite particles work especially well to create a ferrofluid, but need a good surfactant like oleic acid to keep the particles from sticking together. You will find oleic acid at hobby stores that sell chemistry sets. Mix the magnetite, the oleic acid and an oil together to create a suspension.
The simplest way to make your own ferrofluid is to use a lubricating oil and magnetic ink. Create a suspension by mixing lubricating oil and dry magnetic ink to create a suspension. Dry magnetic ink is used by printers that require a toner cartridge. It can be purchased at printer supply stores or on eBay.
Water Purification Using Magnetic Nanoparticles
Magnetic nano particles bind to toxic organic molecules, so you can use this property to purify water by passing a strong magnet over the water. To demonstrate the purification of water using magnetic nano particles, the website turbobeads.com suggests that you mix magnetite in water contaminated with dye. Shake the suspension in a clear plastic bottle to suspend the magnetite and dye particles. Wait a few minutes and then pass a magnet down one side of the clear plastic bottle. The magnetite will have molecularly bonded with the atoms in the dye. When the magnet is passed down the side of the plastic bottle, the magnetite bonded to the dye molecules will be attracted to the magnet, and the water will appear clear. Magnetic nano particles are an excellent filtration medium for removing organic contaminants from water.

How To Teach Respect To Children
We all aware that preschoolers aren’t exactly models of respectful behaviour all the time and it can often seem as if little ones at this age are at their most trying. But don’t despair – teaching children respect is a process that can be put in place from a very young age and may not be as trying as it seems. So how to teach respect to children?
Start At The Beginning
There’s no better time to begin teaching your child about respect than at the start of his life. As soon as your child can speak, he can learn to say “please” and “thank you” to those around him. When he is old enough to play with others, teach him to share his toys with his playmates. Showing him how to care for his playthings will also teach him about respect for property. Beginning with things within your child’s natural sphere of interaction is a good way to start.
Model Behaviour
Remember that you are your child’s first and most important teacher - your little one will learn to treat others by following your example. Be alert to not just the manner you take towards your children but also to the people your interact with throughout the day as you can be sure that your child will be learning from you each step of the way. Exhibiting kindness and consideration to those around you – towards people who are different or elderly for instance – will provide your child with the opportunity to learn that there are different types of people and that they should be treated with respect. As you teach your child about respect through your actions, take the opportunity to impart the less obvious details to him as well. Let him know that looking someone in the eye, adopting a courteous tone of voice, and using proper words (such as “yes” or “no” instead of “uh huh” or “nah”) are also important. These are aspects that your children will not naturally know, so it’s important that you point your child in right direction.
Get In The Know
Parents armed with the know-how and the right skills are likely to fine their job that much easier when it comes to teaching their children about respect. Take some time to select and go through books on parenting, or consider the option of signing up with a parenting class that will help develop a relationship that encourages respect in the family and to others.
Consistency Is Everything
If you’re prone to struggling with feelings of guilt when it comes to disciplining your child, don’t. According to Elizabeth Pantley, author of Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging and Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate! “Letting kids get away with bad behaviour only breeds more of the same. Make sure your kids know the rules of the family and that you discipline appropriately when rules are broken.” Don’t change your stance on appropriate discipline according to your mood. Says Elizabeth: “Firm and fair discipline is not haphazard and does not change of depending on your mood. It requires a consistency that your kids can count on. They may not like it, but they can count on it!” When your child is certain of the consequences of each decision and action he takes, he is more likely to behave in an appropriate manner. Being anything less than consistent will only lead to confusion, a greater tendency to misbehave, and resentment on your child’s part.
Say It Loud
As parents, you’ll find your praise and encouragement are things your child values and will naturally strive for. Make it an effort to acknowledge and praise your child when he’s done something right. This can be done verbally (“it was great that you offered your seat to that lady in the bus!”), or non-verbally with hand signals, a smile, a hug or a squeeze of the hand. Make it a point to be specific, and explicit when praising your child. Place emphasis on the good behaviour you want to reinforce, says Jerry Wyckoff, a psychologist and co-author of Twenty Teachable Virtues. Praising your child for say “please” and “thank you” at the dinner table instead of merely saying “good boy” or “great job” will allow your preschooler to understand which actions and behaviours are appreciated and rewarded.
Listen Up
Teaching your child about respect is as much about demonstrating it yourself. Show your little one that listening to what others have to say is an important aspect of demonstrating respect. Whether your child has something he wants to show you, or even if it’s an attempt at explaining a case of misbehaviour on his part, make a genuine effort to hear him out. Position yourself at his level, look him in the eye and turn your full attention to him so he knows you’re interested in what he’s saying. Though it can take time to listen patiently to your preschooler throughout, letting him have your attention when he is speaking is the best way to teach him to listen to you just as carefully.
Don’t Overreact
Though it’s easy to feel upset when your child displays a lack of respect, particularly when this is directed at you, avoid overreacting to the undesirable behaviour. Instead of becoming provoked, deal with the unwanted behaviour firmly yet calmly. Get face to face with your child and firmly tell him that such behaviour is not desirable, be it directed at you or someone else, and that these actions or works won’t be tolerated. Then show your child how he can get what he wants by being respectful.
Be Prepared For Disagreements
Even as you do your best to teach your child the value of respect, be prepared for disagreements to occur. Remember that when your child resists doing something your way this doesn’t necessarily translate into a display of disrespect. Your child could simply be expressing a different opinion or have ideas about how something can be done differently. If disagreements do get heated, opting to talk about the matter a little latter can sometimes be the best way to proceed. Give yourself, and your child, a chance to cold down and get some perspective on what both of you have said. Approach the matter without coming down completely on your child. Instead, acknowledge his feelings by saying “I could tell you were upset. Let’s talk about some ways to solve the problem and how we can show respect to each other.”
Teach Your Child To Respect Himself
While it’s important to inculcate a sense of respect for other persons and their property. It’s just as vital to teach your child to respect himself. Let him know that he should not be afraid to say no to unwanted behaviour. Inappropriate touches or anything else that would have a harmful influence on him. Unless your child learns the value of self-respect, it will be an uphill, if not impossible task, to teach him to respect others.

Labels in education
In my 20 years of working in schools, I have worked with and seen the records of many, many children who have been psychiatrically hospitalized, seen a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, counselor, etc., outside the school setting. There are lots of children in our schools across the country who see a private practitioner, for lots of different reasons. However, over the years I began to notice two unsettling trends in the recommendations from these outside experts. First, I noticed that if a child went to a private practitioner, they always came back with at least one diagnosis. I have never been involved with, nor heard of, a child who went to a private practitioner that did not come back with at least one diagnosis. Let’s extend this to other children, and adults. What if every time a parent took their child to the doctor for some physical ailment, they were diagnosed with some life-long ailment (for the layman, ADHD is a life-long disorder)? Second, I noticed that by far the majority of the children who went to a private practitioner would come back with one of three diagnosis. It is like these are the only three that exist. It is to the point that before I even look at the practitioner’s report, I can roll the dice and get at least one of the diagnosis right, and usually more. Again, what if every time a parent took their child to the doctor for a physical ailment, their diagnosis always falls within the range of three ailments? This is not to say that some children who go to a private practitioner don’t need a diagnosis. Some indeed do. What is troubling to me is the wholesale manufacturing of these labels for children who are having problems. It is basically a “one-size-fits-all” mentality. Imagine if nearly every adult who went to a physician was given one of three diagnosis? Wouldn’t you be a little concerned?
The problem is not with diagnosis per se. There are children who truly do have a disorder that is in need of professional help. However, this is a very small percentage of children. Most of the children I have been involved with who went to a private practitioner did not have a true disorder, but they did exhibit behaviors similar to certain disorders. The problem is that parents, schools, and society has created children that we believe we are unable to deal with, and so we have to have an explanation and treatment plan for them. As a society we like to categorize things and it makes us feel better to point the finger at something other than ourselves. The schools won’t, or can’t, admit that too often there’s a significant number children that they can’t handle effectively, and what they’re doing with these children isn’t really working. And the parents of these children won’t straighten-up and be parents, and take responsibility. Diagnoses make us feel good. They take us off the hook.
The three diagnosis that I am sure to see at least one of from private practitioners are Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Bipolar, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Please don’t misunderstand me. I am not saying that such disorders do not exist. What I am saying is that these have been overused, or used inappropriately far too often. I believe that the reason these three diagnosis have been the ones used in this manner is because they incorporate behaviors seen by all children, and to a greater degree by children who are problems to parents and schools; but not “disordered” or “disturbed.” The central characteristics of ADHD are impulsivity, distractibility, and hyperactivity. All children are impulsive, distractible, and hyperactive to some degree. However, in too many kids I don’t see a true disorder in which they cannot control their impulses. Rather, what I see in these problematic children is the attitude, and expectation that, “I want what I want now, and you better give it to me!” Distractibility really means to these children, “I’m going to pay attention to what I want to.” And hyperactivity for these children really means I don’t want to do this “stuff” in school, and so I’m going to move around, have some fun, and do whatever.
A central characteristic of Bipolar Disorder is mood swings. When this label is inappropriately used, what it really means is, “If I don’t get what I want, I’m going to get very upset!” This disorder used to be called Manic-Depressive. Interestingly, in adults the depressive cycle is what most people think it is – depression. However, the experts now tell us that in children it is often “irritability”, rather than the classical depression we all know. Again, irritable could be inappropriately used to describe children who are a problem in school. Usually the kids who are “irritable” act this way because they are in a place they don’t want to be (school), and they are being made to do things they don’t want to.
Oppositional Defiant Disorder, when not properly applied, is pretty self-explanatory. Oppositional for kids who are just being naughty really means, “I’m going to resist whatever I don’t want to do!”
Children being labeled inappropriately is only a manifestation of the true underlying problem. It is not the true problem. It is only a reaction to the real problem – an attempt to try and deal with a problem that impacts all schools, districts, communities, and society in general. We have to “explain” things with reasons, because we can’t admit the fact that children are behaving the way they are as a result of their environment. They are a product of their environment! The schools can’t admit that they can’t really help, or that maybe their doing it the wrong way, because they are expected to be able to “educate“ all children. We keep spinning our wheels, trying one thing after another, and doing the same things over, and over, and over, and over again.

What Exactly Are You Teaching Kids About Money?
Article by Derrick Janson
Kodachrome Reunion is a great song. Paul Simon reminiscences about all the “trash” he had to learn in school and how he is surprised that he escaped the experience, with his ability to think, intact. Most people can really relate to that sentiment. Don’t expect school to provide your children with a lot of practical guidance. They need you for that. Consider the following information, regarding teaching kids about money.
It is hard for children to learn just from your words, when your actions are completely different. Parents who smoke cigarettes, almost always have children who become smokers, even though they may preach at them about not smoking and almost make threats on their lives.
It works the same way with money. If you want them to understand how vital it is for them to save money for their future, then they can not constantly see you make silly purchases and rarely go without things you would like to have.
If you are spending money frivolously on them, that is much worse than doing it for yourself. One of the worst things you can do to your kids is spoil them. Loving parents must get over their desire to do that. Give them the ability to be able to earn money for their hard work around the house.
When your children want to get something in the worst way, but they do not have the money saved to get it, you can help them get it in literally, the worst way: the credit card way. Make an offer to give them a credit card loan for this one thing. The rates and terms will be as bad as what new card holders get.
Just like a credit card, give them the opportunity to make minimum payments, where the amount owed barely gets reduced, at all. Hopefully, after several weeks, they will learn the lesson and start to pay it off, but if not, take ninety per of their allowance to pay off the loan and the interest. That is a terrific way of teaching kids about money, that may go on to benefit them the rest of their lives.

How To Teach Your Kids Social Skills
As our children grow, you go to school and interact with lots of other different people. For example, friends and teachers. Therefore it is necessary to teach them social skills that allow them to get along with others, to work as part of a team to follow the rules, make and keep friends and act confidence. These features also help our children to build good character.
Families have a profound influence on early development of social skills and opportunities for our children. If you enjoy love, warming the relationship with parents, siblings, grandparents and other relations will have a strong foundation in good shape compared with other people. It understands how other people feel and have the potential to treat other the way they want and how to deal with than others.
To help children acquire basic social behavior, parents should set the proper expectations, rules, rewards and punishment associated with those rules, and most importantly all the same for good examples for their children. Your children learn by observing what you do as parents and how they behave in your everyday life – such as how you treat and interact with her husband, the eldest and friends. Since beginning interact with others, your kids will shape their behavior according to the steps it has witnessed at home.
Here are some of the important social skills that will want to work with your children:
Learning that others have their views and feelings
I’ve seen adults hold strong views on a course of things and trying to impose their views onto others. This often leads to tension and anxiety in the relationship. There is something healthy.
It is important for parents to teach their children the youths that have other views and feelings. We must learn to respect them and know that it is perfectly okay for people to have different opinions. With this understanding, children can then begin to develop empathy – the ability to distinguish and share another’s feelings or ideas. It is possible to put another shoe that makes them willing to share, take turns, cooperate and treat their friends with kindness and respect.
Identify the rules
We must help our children to know they are some rules of appropriate social behaviors. For example, no hitting others, no cutting of the queue, no waiting for others to finish before they can talk, ask for permission if they want to get something not belong to them, etc. …
Distribution
The distribution does not come automatically to most young children. Often they learn this skill by observing their parents.
I know some parents who are generally not very generous with their stuff. And young children show that selfish, very clear when interacting with a partner. For example, you must observe some of the children who refuse to share toys when playing with their friends, quickly and quietly hold all the good things and let them not so good for their friends, etc. – All of them have not so generous parents.
Activities for Kids in the Fall
School has started, the weather is soon to be cooler and the leaves will be falling. Weekends and evenings are once again ‘family’ time, time to spend with your kids in constructive play, taking advantage of the ever shortening daylight hours. Will you spend your time in front of the TV or will make some memories that your kids can pass on to the grandkids? Here are some ideas to make play time educational and fun.
Leaf rubbings: As the leaves start to turn and fall to the ground, the whole of the world begins to change. Or at least it seems so to very young children who may only vaguely remember the last autumn. Go on a walk in a wooded area, or just around the neighborhood and collect as many different kinds of leaves as you can find. Take them home and spend some time trying to identify the different kinds, either with a book (you can find many in your local library) or online. Try http://cas.psu.edu/docs/CASDEPT/Hort/LeafID/
http://www.ag.auburn.edu/hort/landscape/leafid/
http://www.oplin.org/tree/leaf/byleaf.html
These are just a few of the many sites you can find from educational institutions and state forestry organizations to help you identify different leaves with your kids.
After you get the leaves home and have looked and examined and labeled as much as you and the kids want to, get out some clean, white typing or printer paper, and some crayons with the paper off. Carefully place the leaf underneath the paper and using the long side of the crayon, not the end, and holding the paper in place, gently rub the crayon over the leaf, creating a ‘rubbing’. Do a couple different colors and different leaves on the same page to create a beautiful keepsake. Date it, sign it, frame it.
Kite Flying: Not just for the summer, kites really take off in the autumn winds. Pick a spot away from power lines and trees, and on a day where there is no rain and lightening expected. One can usually find kites to purchase at any toy store, and department stores in the spring and summer.
Pick a Plum: Or pick an apple, peach, nut…whatever strikes your families fancy. Quite often, you can find an orchard with fruit or nuts that has days when, for a fee, anyone can come and harvest. Sometimes you can find a potato farm or pumpkin patch that does the same thing. Picking out a pumpkin for a fall decoration or jack-o-lantern is a great treat for the little ones, and can be quite a momentous excursion. Look around your area and see what the various prices are. Barring that, if you have a park or such in the area that has hickory or black walnut trees, go beat the squirrels to the treats. It is fabulous fun to pick them up and while they are hard to open, there is nothing like eating the fruits of your own labor, and they are great to cook with.
Blow some bubbles: Just getting out with your kids for fifteen minutes in the blustery wind can be a treat with some bubbles. The wind does the work with the wand held up and even the youngest of your younglings can get the satisfaction of watching the bubbles take off into the air.
Whatever you do with your kids, try to get outside and develop that ever decreasing appreciation for the natural world that is so lacking in our schools and television programs. Enjoy our planet and all the wonders that you can find, no matter what the season.
