Back-to-School Transitions: Tips for Parents
Yes, it's that time of year again, The kids are going back to school. Wishing it was less hectic? Read on to learn new ways to make the transition back to school easier on the whole family.
Ilissa
Getting a new school year off to a good start can influence children’s attitude, confidence, and performance both socially and academically. The transition from August to September can be difficult for both children and parents. Even children who are eager to return to class must adjust to the greater levels of activity, structure, and, for some, pressures associated with school life.
The degree of adjustment depends on the child, but parents can help their children (and the rest of the family) manage the increased pace of life by planning ahead, being realistic, and maintaining a positive attitude. Here are a few suggestions to help ease the transition and promote a successful school experience.

ADHD: What Parents Should Know
Dealing with ADHD is a challenge for many families. Educating yourself in order to help your child can be your first line of defense.
Ilissa
What is ADHD?
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the name of a group of behaviors found in many children and adults. People who have ADHD have trouble paying attention in school, at home or at work. They may be much more active and/or impulsive than what is usual for their age. These behaviors contribute to significant problems in relationships, learning and behavior. For this reason, children who have ADHD are sometimes seen as being "difficult" or as having behavior problems.Read More>>>

How to Keep the Passion Alive in Your Marriage
Marriage is a curious institution. You can be married to someone for like 65 years now that people are living longer. Very often passion goes underground when children are born into the picture.
Ilissa
Is your marriage not as passionate as it used to be before your kids were born? Do you feel that the chemistry between the two of you is diminishing slowly and steadily? Well, marriage does bring about a lot of responsibility in our lives, and kids just add on heavily to it. With the children taking priority over every other thing, it's hard for the couples to rekindle the romance in their relationship.
In the mad rush of coping with the daily chores and errands, couples tend to forget the very reason that joined them into matrimony. They also forget that life is not meant to be lived like robots. It is a beautiful gift that needs to be cherished in all its varied circumstances. Though it's not that easy to take care of every single thing in the household, a little thought and consideration slipped into your schedule can get the same old joy seeping back into your married life.
