Hot Topics
Bullying
Bullying is a common
experience for many children and adolescents. Surveys indicate that as many as half of all children are bullied at some time
during their school years, and at least 10% are bullied on a regular basis.
Bullying behavior can be physical or verbal.
Boys tend to use physical intimidation or threats, regardless of the gender of their victims. Bullying by girls is more often
verbal, usually with another girl as the target. Recently, bullying has even been reported in online chat rooms and through
e-mail.
Children who are bullied experience real suffering that can interfere with their social and emotional development,
as well as their school performance. Some victims of bullying have even attempted suicide rather than continue to endure such
harassment and punishment.
Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Does your child have trouble sitting still? Act without thinking first?
Or often start but not finish things? Do these things cause problems for your child at school or at home? If the answer is
“yes,” your child might have a common childhood medical condition called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Many children have restless behaviors that are typical of ADHD. When fidgeting, poor concentration, or impulsiveness
begin disrupting performance in school, at home, or in relationships with other children, the cause might be ADHD. Or, there
might be a different cause. Getting the right diagnosis and treatment can help your child do better in the classroom, on the
playground, and at home.
