Winter sicknesses are here. I've got a cold, my dog has a cold, so here are some natural remedies for common illness symptoms. Personally, I'd rather avoid medications if possible. Not to say there isn't a time & a place, but if I can drink tea instead I will!

I am not a doctor. I don't know your health history. I don't know your family's health history. Always do more research before you take any medications or try different remedies.

"It’s become a common occurrence over the last few years as children appear to be engaging in more “disruptive,” violent behaviors, said Nicole Cobb... at Vanderbilt University."

"It’s behaviors like a first grader flipping over desks or a kindergartner threatening his teacher’s life that Cobb said have become concerning, and it’s happening more and more. Cobb said it is particularly unusual to see elementary school-aged children engaging in..."
"Every report investigated this year has been deemed “non-credible.” Whether the statement was made “jokingly” or with intent to do harm, if investigators can prove that a student made the post or comment, Moore said they will be charged with a felony."

"Standardized Testing and the Destruction of Education"

More testing, less interesting. Our school system is setting students up for long-term failure.

Most of us know the feeling of hating going to school. For me, that started in 2nd grade with spelling test anxiety. I was convinced I was never going to learn to read or write. A string of infections & a tonsillectomy made it even harder for me to keep up!
The system had nothing in place for me or my brother, for whom they missed dyslexia. I learned to read on my own time, in my own way. School, in fact, held me back. My brother as well, who ultimately learned to read through video games.

If you can lead your kids to read, you can lead them to learn to learn. Loving to learn & knowing how to find information is the goal.

It's not as complicated as the system makes it out to be.
If your kids know how to be curious & satisfy that curiosity safely, they'll be leagues ahead of their school-going peers.

As the kids grow, they're able to recognize their interests & learn what they need to learn to get them where they want to go.
What happens at school is the opposite of that. Kids are put on a path that they have to follow. Every step is directed for them.

This has been a complaint of university-level professors & later employers for a long time. YAs who don't know how to self-direct or problem solve.

Harsh Reality Time?

Many parents should apologize, TO THEIR KIDS, for sending them away every day.

"I'm sorry I didn't raise & educate you. I'm sorry I left that up to other people."

No reasoning, no excuses. Just say sorry.
Maybe nothing will change.
Maybe everything will.
THEN:

There is always more to the story. If the conversation is open & your kids are ready to hear it, parents need to be honest about the WHY.

Money related?
Misplaced values?
Lack of self-confidence?

How did you get to the point of giving up the kids on a daily basis?
These conversations need to happen or we will never break this broken family cycle.

It's time for parents to be honest about how much & what kind of parenting they've been doing.
