School and my mental health challenges

We often hear that mental health is just as important as physical health, and I feel strongly that supporting positive mental health should begin early in a person’s life.I had a tough time at school, and feel that with better early support I might have been able to function better and perhaps manage my emotional problems more effectively.During my school years, I was a victim of bullying, sexual assault and directed violence. My bullying was particularly bad during my GCSE years, in Years 10 and 11, and resulted in major non-attendance at school.At my lowest point, I was attending school just once or twice per week, which had a huge impact on my confidence and performance.Unfortunately, because I didn’t feel very well supported, I developed a mentality of not trusting or relying on anyone to support me.

“I’m Newly Diagnosed at 90 — and So Thankful”

When I was born in 1933, neurodivergence (along with jet aircraft, the atom bomb, and plastic bags) had yet to be. If a child’s behavior did not comply with the norms of the time, as was the case for me, it resulted in punishment, not psychoanalysis. And so I grew up thinking I was naughty, talkative, lazy, untidy, and slow.

As I look back at my struggle with anxiety it has always been part of me. I remember feeling sick and my heart pounding when I was at primary school. Me and my mum called it “working myself up” and I experienced it when I went out for a meal and to meet friends outside school.

Q: “School Bullying Gave My Child Social Anxiety That Persists at Their New School.”

Q1: “We’re moving my son, who has ADHD, to another school. He has been bullied from elementary to high school by the same group of students. I want him to join a group at his new school, but he’s been rejected so many times over the years that he doesn’t want to risk it. What should I do?”I just want to validate how hard this is and the importance of advocating for your student by moving him to a different school and trying to set him up for success.Sometimes, smaller-group social interaction, even with one or two other peers who have similar interests, is better than trying to jump into a larger group or sports team.

Co-Parenting After Divorce: A Guide for ADHD Families

The gold standard for a great divorce when you have kids with ADHD is one in which both parents are working together, amicably. In an ideal world, all parents adopt the same healthy approach to managing ADHD, along with the same schedule and routine.But this smooth, coordinated ideal is difficult to achieve when co-parenting children with ADHD after divorce.We know that children with ADHD have executive functioning challenges. Divorce may heighten those struggles largely because the prefrontal cortex, the command center for executive functioning, is now also trying to manage frequent transitions amid a changing family dynamic.Transitioning between home, school, and another home brings changes in routine and possible parental conflict.

When Schools Resist Evaluating & Addressing Learning Disabilities

Almost two-thirds of children with ADHD have at least one other condition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; 45 percent are affected by learning disorders, 32 percent by anxiety, 17 percent by a mood disorder, and 14 percent by autism spectrum disorder. Yet despite the prevalence of co-occurring conditions, experts in the field — advocates, learning specialists, and psychologists — report that many students with ADHD do not receive assessments for common comorbidities, at least initially.Third grade was not going well for Jackson* of Brooklyn, New York. Diagnosed with ADHD at age 5, Jackson was in an integrated co-teaching class with an IEP in place, but his school aversion intensified with each passing day.

One study found that vegan school lunches contain three times more fiber than meat-based entrees.

How We Can Make Disability Accommodations in Schools More Equitable

As an educator, I work with students with IEP and 504 plans. IEPs support students with disabilities with specialized instruction, while 504 plans are for students who need support but do not necessarily need specialized instruction. As an educator and somebody who has needed accommodations in school due to severe anxiety and severe depression, I am all for accommodations. However, is it sometimes too much? How do we best provide accommodations to our students on a 504 plan without holding them back and preventing them from learning to navigate the world on their own?

He always says, “Huh? I don’t know, I forgot.”She doesn’t seem to understand the lessons.They can’t repeat back what is said to them.She reads okay, but her reading comprehension is poor. When parents hear these comments from school, they may wonder: What’s going on? Do my child’s struggles stem from ADHD? Or are they having trouble understanding language? Could it be both? Or something else entirely? And who can help us figure this out?As a speech-language pathologist (SLP) in a public school, I commonly evaluate for language disorders, which can look a lot like ADHD and other conditions.

Why we need safe spaces in schools

“I didn’t feel like I had shared experiences or values with others from my background.”Although I had good friends I did not always feel comfortable or close to people. Nor did I feel at ease with myself because I was discovering new things about myself and dealing with difficult situations regarding family circumstances (health, financial, housing and more), understanding my own identities and hobbies and how they interacted with one another whether it be relating to gender, sexuality, race, religion or otherwise (as opposed to simply following or accepting those that had previously been thrust upon me).Despite living in a diverse area, I struggled with my racial identity.

4 Benefits Private Schools Can Offer You that Public Schools Can’t

It’s a debate that’s been going on for decades: is a private school worth the extra money, or is going to a public school just as good? As with any comparison, each option has its pros and cons. However, there are a few benefits that you and your child can only gain if they are receiving a private education. Unfortunately, not everyone is in a position where they can afford the steeper fees of a private school, but if you are privileged enough to view it as a possibility for your child’s education, it’s something to seriously consider. We’ll be walking you through some benefits that a private school can offer you.
