10 Tips For Navigating the Upcoming Academic Year

 

School’s in Session?

As students, teachers, and parents look ahead to another school year full of pandemic uncertainty, they may be finding it difficult to prepare. Some families are anxious about children heading back to in-person learning unvaccinated, while others are concerned about kids starting behind on their studies. With some states reintroducing social distancing restrictions and mask requirements, parents are also worried about the implications of more time in virtual classrooms.   How do we support our children as they start fresh this fall? We’ve invited several distinguished researchers, psychologists, and others to share their tips on everything from adjusting to a new routine to alleviating anxieties and staying healthy.   1. Re-pack Your Backpack   This year’s back-to-school backpack looks a little bit different than in years past. “Help your kids create a personal safety kit to keep in their backpacks, with extra masks, hand sanitizer, and antibacterial wipes that your child can use to help keep their work areas clean,” suggests Daybreak Health Clinical Director Allyson Holmes-Knight, PhD. “Labeling all of your child's personal belongings will help prevent them from getting their school supplies mixed with others. Be sure to talk openly with your children about how they can protect themselves. This includes demystifying any rumors or false information they may have heard.”   2. Plan, Pace and Play   According to Clinical Psychologist Sarah Parry, D.Clin.Psy, the uncertainty that kids are experiencing this year can be balanced by appropriate planning, pacing, and play. “We understand the importance of predictability and stability – both of which can be threatened during times of transition,” Parry explains. “However, when suitable plans are in place, ‘anchors’ of predictability and stability can be identified and applied to help children feel safe during periods of change.” Relationships, Parry adds, can also be bridges to resilience. “Mutually respectful and trusting relationships between parents, educators and children can form bridges between problems and solutions.”   3. Talk about Feelings    It’s important for parents and educators to focus on children’s mental health this fall. “We've gone through a collective trauma, and we're going to need to approach things a bit differently this year,” says Neha Chaudhary, MD, child and adolescent psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. “This means making the space for safe conversations about mental health, and assisting kids in getting the right kind of help when needed, whether it's practicing coping skills, or seeing a therapist or psychiatrist for an evaluation."   4. Talk about Tech If social distancing measures require it,  children in some school districts may need to return to virtual learning, and parents and educators should be prepared to make the most of it. “First and foremost, check whether you have all the right technology capabilities,” suggests Lakshmi Mahadevan, PhD, Associate Professor at Texas A&M’s AgriLife Extension Service. She recommends meeting with your child’s teacher and advises parents to “prepare questions about expected classroom activities, collect everyone’s contact information during the meeting, and check whether you have access to all documents, whether they be virtual or hard copy.” . Preparation and communication are essential in making the most of online learning.   5. Less Can Be More   When kids are facing difficulty at school, parents shouldn’t feel responsible for filling the role of “teacher” at home. “Keep in mind that ‘less is more’ when practiced consistently,” says Daniela Fontenelle-Tereshchuk, PhD, of the University of Calgary. “Short, simple and consistent activities suitable to each family’s unique dynamic may be more effective than trying to cover the whole curriculum at home. Ask your child’s teacher about the main things your child is struggling with and how you can help.”   6. Be Calm As We Carry On   According to Jeffrey Gardere, PhD, Associate Professor of Behavioral Medicine at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, it is important for parents to model calmness and confidence in preparing our kids for school re-entry. “The last thing we should be doing as parents is passing fear and anxiety down to our children who have already been through the most challenging time of their education and lives due to COVID,” he says. “Families should practice and role play how to follow COVID protocols, in a serious but fun and entertaining way.” Rehearsing and modeling will make a huge difference for “keeping our kids in the right and safer frame of mind to go back into the new normal of school, with a healthier and less fearful attitude.”   7. Take It Slow   “Everyone is understandably nervous about the start of another uncertain school year, and children will be looking to the adults in their lives for reassurance and guidance,” says Phyllis Fagell, LCPC, school counselor and author of Middle School Matters. “They may need help setting realistic expectations, particularly if they struggled on the virtual learning platform or feel disconnected from friends they haven’t seen in person for more than a year.” Fagell recommends encouraging children to take it slowly and work on building back up to their pre-pandemic schedules, to ensure they get plenty of sleep, and reminding them that it might take some time before they find their place in their friend groups again. She notes, “If kids are feeling more sensitive, they may be more impulsive, so help them regulate their emotions when they experience a social blow so they don’t do something they’ll regret.”   8. Compassion Comes First   Children need to feel safe and secure in order to do their personal best in the classroom. “As parents, we can be mindful and meet our children where they are,” says parenting journalist, author, educator, and nonprofit founder Donna Tetreault. “If a child is fearful, unsure, or concerned about going back to school, as parents we should think about ‘connection’ and ‘compassion’ first.” Tetreault reminds parents to allow children to feel their emotions and to “ listen to them - really listen - and then, if needed, ask 'how can I help you?' Taking the time to connect and show your child unconditional love will give them the security they need in order to feel stable during these very challenging times.”   9. Prepare early for success   It’s important for children to take responsibility for getting ready to go to school, though it’s ultimately a collaboration between kids and parents. “It should actually start the night before, with making sure uniforms are ready to be worn and bags are packed,” says Nicola Yelland, PhD, Professor of Early Childhood Studies at the University of Melbourne. Dr. Yelland encourages parents to help children learn to organize their assignments and keep up with deadlines. “Many schools provide children with a diary in which they record what needs to be done, so parents should plan early and ensure that they are familiar with the system that operates in their school and what is expected of them.” 10. Empowered advocacy As Dr. Beth Tarasawa, Executive Vice President of Research at NWEA, points out, the pandemic interrupted learning and exacerbated opportunity gaps for millions of students in the US and across the globe. “Parents of students with learning and attention issues have been among the most vocal advocates pushing school district and state decision makers to use funding and resources in ways that address the needs of students with disabilities,” Tarasawa says. “This type of parental advocacy is needed now more than ever. More specifically, parents can advocate that schools meet the physical, mental, and emotional needs of children, improve distance learning, ensure equitable funding, and provide acceleration opportunities.” For additional resources please visit the National PTA and the National Center for Learning Disabilities. -- It’s safe to say that this school year will be unlike any other, which means it’s important for families to be patient, adaptable, and empathetic. Whether your school has returned to in-person education, is continuing online learning, or is somewhere in-between, parents need to make time to communicate honestly and openly with their kids to help ensure that they’re getting the most out of their education. While it won’t always be easy, it will always be worth it.   About Children and Screens Since its inception in 2013, Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development, has become one of the nation’s leading non-profit organizations dedicated to advancing and supporting interdisciplinary scientific research, informing and educating the public, advocating for sound public policy for child health and wellness, and enhancing human capital in the field.

Tips for Families: Supporting Children With Speech and Language Disorders as They Return to In-Person School

Pandemic Learning Created Unique Challenges for Students With Communication Disorders

Speech and Language Disorders are Second Most Common Disabilities for Which School-Aged Children Receive Special Education Services

(Rockville, MD – August 11, 2021) With students across the country preparing to return to in-person school, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is providing advice for parents and caregivers of children with speech and language disorders. These disorders are the second most common disability category under which children receive special education services, representing more than 1 million schoolchildren nationwide.

According to the U.S. Department of Education’s recent report, Education in a Pandemic: The Disparate Impacts of COVID-19 on America’s Students: “For many elementary and secondary school students with disabilities, COVID-19 significantly disrupted the education and related aids and services needed to support their academic progress and prevent regression—and may have exacerbated longstanding disparities in their academic achievement.” 

Many students with communication disorders were particularly affected by changes like virtual and hybrid learning that were implemented during the 2020–2021 school year due to the pandemic. As some of these children return to in-person instruction for the first time in more than a year, ASHA recommends the following ways for families to help them prepare for a successful in-person school year and support recovery of communication, social, and learning skills:   

 

• Attend school open house/meet-and greet events. If your child’s school is holding an open house or other meet-and-greet event with school personnel, try to attend if your schedule allows. If you cannot attend, ask if there is an opportunity to meet the teacher virtually or visit the building at another time.You may be able to visit the speech-language pathologist (SLP) as well. This can help children with communication disorders reduce uncertainty about the classroom and school environment—and give families specifics that they can talk about in advance with their child (e.g., where they will be sitting and with whom, where to go if they are overstimulated or want alone time, who is in the class, etc.).

 

• Practice social skills. Everyday interactions such as talking with friends, playing at recess, and eating lunch in the cafeteria may be difficult for children with language and/or social communication disorders, particularly those who had little interaction with same-aged peers during the past year. All of this can play a role in academics as well as social success. Families can help children by playing school at home and practicing these specific scenarios. They may also want to arrange playdates with classmates and visit parks, pools, and other places where kids are, as family comfort level allows.

 

• Prepare for social/behavioral expectations in classroom. Children may need to be reminded of basic classroom behaviors like staying in their seat, raising their hand when they want to say something, or asking for permission to go to the bathroom. Pandemic-related expectations such as social distancing, wearing masks, and staying with a particular group of children at lunch or recess may also be required. Talk about these changes in advance, and practice those behaviors that may be difficult. Families of children with communication disorders may want to create social stories—structured, personalized stories that explain social situations to children. These stories can help children with language and social disorders troubleshoot challenging situations. 

 

• Prime children for learning. At least 1 week prior to the first day, formalize habits to put your child in a good place to start the year. These include nightly reading before bed, gradually reducing their screen time, and practicing going to bed early and waking up on time. Children with speech and language disorders generally thrive on such routines. A visual chart of these routines and maintaining a consistent schedule may help as well.

 

• Role-play potentially stressful scenarios. There may be specific situations that concern your child about going back to school. For example, a child who stutters may be worried about introducing themselves on the first day of class or reading out loud. By talking about these situations and practicing, you can help reduce stress, decrease negative reactions and emotions, and build confidence about new social interactions.  

 

• Keep communication open with your child’s teacher, SLP, and other school staff. If you have specific concerns about the return to school and/or any specific skills and learning regression, let the school know in advance so that staff can do everything they can to help your child succeed. You can do this informally (e.g., email the teacher) as well as formally (e.g., at meetings to discuss individualized education programs [IEPs] or 504 plans). 

 

• Prepare for possible changes in IEP services or 504 plans. For students who have existing IEPs or 504 plans, there may still be changes in how speech-language and other services are delivered due to the pandemic. This may vary by school district and even by school. Talk to your child’s IEP coordinator and/or case manager about what services will look like so you all can know what to expect.

 

• Educate yourself about your child’s services. Know that families still have the rights they always had when it comes to special education services. When you meet with your child’s educational team, discuss how they are evaluating them for any regression of skills and how the school will address this. Your child’s SLP and/or other providers want what’s best for the child. Through a collaborative relationship, your child can meet their highest potential. 

• Stay positive about where your child is right now. Despite the challenging circumstances of the past school year, not all was lost. Children are resilient and can recover. Stay upbeat, and help get your child excited when shopping for school supplies or a new backpack, picking out the first-day-of-school outfit, and talking about teacher assignments and other details. Their excitement about the new year can impact both their learning and their social success.

A Checklist for Planning a Detox or Cleanse

Cleanse or detoxification will purge your system of toxins, and this has a variety of health benefits. You can use fast diets, drinks, or powders as detox regimens, sometimes called detox diets or detox drinks visits for more https://www.vsmdetoxaustin.com/.

Health Benefits of detoxification

• Improved energy efficiency
• Reliefs constipation
• Helps with weight loss
• Ensures healthy breath
• Improved immunity
• Provides relief associated with headaches, muscle aches, and fatigue.

Detoxing makes you more aware of what you consume and what goes into your body. You will be able to enjoy well-balanced, healthy meals while experimenting with new foods you learn to love too.

As part of our natural detoxification process, our bodies eliminate toxins. The digestive system, liver, kidneys, and skin break toxins down for excretion through the urine, feces, or sweat.

Exactly how does detox work?

A person undergoes detoxification to flush alcohol and drugs from their body so that they can begin treatment in a stable and controlled manner. When an individual becomes addicted to alcohol or drugs, their body becomes accustomed to these substances. Detoxification gradually reduces and eliminates these chemicals, so the brain needs time to adjust to a sudden drop. With such symptoms, you will suffer unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

In detoxification, the goal is to reduce withdrawal symptoms while ensuring comfort and safety. Medical aid and support can ensure successful detoxification. Medical professionals usually handle these procedures at a detox facility such as https://www.vsmdetoxaustin.com or a specialized center. As many failed attempts lead to failure, self-detoxification is very rare, resulting in unnecessary withdrawal symptoms and frustration.

Are there any health benefits to detox regimens?

There is little credible evidence that detox regimens remove toxins from the body. The specific detox diet varies partly because of the fasting period following a limited consumption of raw vegetables, fruits, or juices. Some detox diets recommend using herbs and other supplements, as well as intestinal cleansing (enemas).

Detoxing can activate the brain and make it more alert, and people usually feel more focused and energized throughout the process. Although detox diets claim to remove toxins from the body, little evidence suggests that they do so. The kidney and liver remove almost all toxic substances before excretion.

Why do people say they feel better after the detox? In contrast to highly processed foods, which contain solid fats and added sugars, detox diets contribute to this. Some people experience better health by avoiding foods that have high caloric and low nutritional content.

You should consult your doctor before beginning a detox diet. Aside from the potential benefits, it is also important to consider the side effects. Excessive protein consumption or fasting during detoxification may lead to fatigue. When you fast for an extended period, you can become deficient in vitamins and minerals.

The pros and cons of detoxing

Do not get sucked into the detox fad. This involves changing one's diet for a specific period to rid the body of toxic substances. Different detox options target different parts of the body.

Pros:

• Helps improve liver and kidney function
• An increase in energy and vitality
• Activates your mind and soul
• It kicks starts a weight-loss journey.
• Boosts the immune system
• Helps one avoid bad eating habits

Cons:

• A sudden change in your diet, such as the consumption of high-fiber fruits, may cause bloating, gas, and diarrhea as your body adjusts.
• Teenagers and people with certain health conditions should avoid detox diets since they may not get enough calories and protein.
• Cleansers and detoxers have no long-term purpose other than to get people started on a healthy diet and exercise program.
• Compared to natural mechanisms, detoxes do not seem to be as effective at removing toxins from the body.

Regardless of your decision, it is important to remember that your body tries to eliminate toxins naturally. Exercise-friendly diets include fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, besides being healthy for the overall body.
