Is shared parenting falling short in Pennsylvania? A poll finds it is!

 

 

Dads’ Resource Center shares results of a poll conducted on shared parenting

STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania – (August 30, 2022) – Is it fair that most dads end up with scattered visits after divorcing or be made to feel that the courts automatically default in judgment for the mother? These are some of the shared parenting questions people have, and some groups are on a mission to gather the facts and make positive changes. In conjunction with the National Parents Organization, the Dads' Resource Center recently commissioned an independent poll of the attitudes of those in Pennsylvania concerning shared parenting when parents live apart.

 

"There is an extreme disconnect between how our citizens think our family courts should operate and how they do operate," said Dads' Resource Center Executive Director Jeffrey Steiner. "What we have now enables or encourages conflict between separated parents and is a serious disservice to children in separated families."

Researchscape International conducted the poll. The results show that the public overwhelmingly believes children in separated families need and should have the active involvement of both parents while growing up. Significant findings from the poll include:

• When asked how beneficial it is for a child to have significant time with each parent assuming that both parents are fit, willing to be parents, and live within a reasonable distance of each other, 64% of respondents believe that to be extremely beneficial, while 30% feel it’s very beneficial. 
• Not surprisingly, 94% of respondents believe it would benefit society if more children with separated parents had both parents significantly involved.
• A whopping 97% of respondents believe that children with separated parents should have equal access to both parents.
• When it comes to working with the family courts, 65% of respondents believe that they are more likely to treat mothers preferentially, 7% assume that family courts are likely to treat fathers more referentially, and 28% believe that family courts are more likely to treat both parents equally.
• Over 91% of respondents believe that Pennsylvania law should be changed to make it easier for fit and willing unmarried fathers to gain parental rights and parenting time with their children.

The polling results were consistent with what was reported in polls that the National Parents Organization has done in other states.

"Creating a presumption of shared parenting, something overwhelmingly supported by Pennsylvanians across the political spectrum, would lower the conflict of divorce by assuring children and their parents that their most precious relationship will not be destroyed by divorce," said Don Hubin, chair of National Parents Organization. "Parental separation should not result in parental deprivation."

Dads' Resource Center was started by Dr. Joel N. Myers, a father of eight and the founder and CEO of AccuWeather. The mission is to help combat the issues associated with children growing up without their fathers in the home. At its heart, the center is a child advocacy organization that aims to ensure that each child has the appropriate involvement and contributions from both parents.

 

“Mothers and fathers are supposed to be seen as equals under the laws of most states,” said Dr. Myers. “Yet in reality there are many situations where dads desperately want to be more involved in the lives of their sons and daughters, but when opposed by their children’s mothers, the courts and governmental agencies they face insurmountable obstacles because of established biases.”

 

About Dads’ Resource Center

The Dads' Resource Center is committed to providing education, resources, and advocacy for dads who are separated or divorced and are determined to uphold their sacred responsibility as fathers. The Dads' Resource Center was founded by Dr. Joel N. Myers, the founder and CEO of AccuWeather. His own experience as a single father led him to start the group.

Back To School: 8 Money Saving Tips For Parents

In the blink of an eye, the school summer holidays are almost at an end, and with September rapidly looming, back to school preparations are fully underway. For parents, getting the kids ready for the start of term can prove  a stressful and costly experience at the best of times. 

However, in the midst of a cost of living crisis, the financial implications will only be adding to the pressure many families across the country are feeling. That being said, there are ways to cut the costs of gearing up for a new school year.

Nick Drewe, founder of discounts platform, WeThrift has compiled a list of useful tips for how families can help to reduce their costs and save money on the back to school essentials this September. 

1. Conduct a uniform inventory check 

A large financial burden concerning many families is the cost of new school uniforms, particularly for families with multiple children, meaning multiple uniforms across different schools with different requirements. 

It can be tempting to feel that you have to buy everything brand new  when it comes to  a new school year; however, it’s always worthwhile doing an inventory and quality checks on your children’s existing uniform before hitting the shops. If some items are still good quality, and are still fitting well for the time-being, save on money and continue wearing them until they need replacing.

2. Purchase pre-loved uniforms

Another great way to cut down on the amount you’re spending on school uniforms is to shop for preloved items, particularly on the more expensive items such as blazers and clothing with your child’s school logo on. 

Look out for local second-hand uniform retailers who offer uniforms with the school’s branding, and be sure to add yourself to local school Facebook pages or parents' Whatsapp groups, as many others may be looking to hand down their child’s outgrown items rather than seeing good quality pieces going to waste. Not only does this save on money, but is also better from a sustainability perspective too. 

3. Search for discount codes when shopping for school shoes 

One of the most expensive elements of the school uniform shop is new school shoes. Not only do parents have to contend with wear and tear, but also the fact that children’s feet are constantly growing, meaning that the costs can start to really pile up throughout the school year. 

That being said, there are a wide range of discount codes available online for many of the high street shoe retailers. Yes, go into the shop in person to try on the fit of the shoes, but then it’s  recommended searching online for discount codes and purchasing through the retailers website.

Also, be on the lookout for retailers that offer a warranty guarantee, with some offering refunds or replacements if the product is of poor quality or if your child grows out of them within a certain time period. Remember to always check terms and conditions.

4. Use loyalty points or cash back sites

If you are planning on shopping for uniforms and back to school essentials at your local supermarket, why not use your loyalty points if you have them, saving you money on the more expensive items. 

Reward and cash back sites are also a great way to help to cut the cost of back to school shopping.

5. Government Uniform Grants

School uniform grants are available from local councils across Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, offering money towards the costs of school uniforms and PE kits. It is always worth checking your local council to see if such grants are available and if you meet the terms and conditions to qualify to receive it. 

If such a grant is unavailable from your local council, check with your child’s school to see if any other incentives or grants are available to help you save on the cost of uniforms.

6. Carry out  an inventory check on stationery 

When it comes to new stationery shopping for the new term, it can be tempting to splurge on an excessive amount of different coloured pens, notepads, calculators and more. We always recommend doing as you would with school uniforms and doing an inventory check to look at the quality of existing stationery, looking at what’s missing and what may need replacing. 

It is also worthwhile to check in with your children’s school and find out if any equipment will be provided in school and what exactly you need to purchase yourself. This saves you doubling up on unnecessary items.

7. Shop for second hand books

For the kids who are a little older and are at secondary school, they may be required to purchase certain books for their studies. The cost of purchasing books across multiple subjects can add up. 

Therefore, looking out for retailers that provide the option to purchase preloved books at a reduced cost is always worthwhile. Again, not only is this saving on cash, but offers a more sustainable way of shopping for school supplies.

8. Plan for packed lunches 

When it comes to reducing the costs of your child’s lunches, planning is key! Pre-plan what lunches you’re going to make for them throughout the week before you do your food shops so that you can work out a weekly budget and know exactly what you need to buy. Bulk buying ingredients and cupboard staples you use regularly is also a handy way to reduce the cost of your grocery bills. 

Keep an eye out for items that are on sale and stock up  when they are reduced.

However, it’s important to pay extra attention to expiration dates on food so that you can plan and minimise food wastage.

New Data: National Immunization Month & Ongoing Risk To The Unvaccinated

COVID-19 disrupted many healthcare routines, especially for children who have fallen behind on receiving recommended vaccines. In fact, a polio case was recently identified in the U.S and poses an ongoing risk to those who are unvaccinated. 

With school quickly approaching, and in honor of National Immunization Awareness Month  (August), MedStar Health surveyed caregivers of children (ages 5 to 18) in the U.S, to highlight the importance of vaccination for kids. The survey found that the majority of children are up to date on all immunizations. 

Please find an overview of the results below: 

What is your child’s immunization status? 

• My child is up to date on all immunizations (73%) 
• My child received some but not all immunizations (18%) 
• My child is not immunized (6%) 
• Not sure (3%)

As the flu virus changes often, the vaccine should be given each year for the best protection. 

How often does your child get the flu shot? 

• Every year (24%)
• Most years (57%)
• Only when there is a spike in flu infections (8%)
• Never (11%)

Vaccines help protect children as they head back to school, where potential for vaccine-preventable disease transmission is higher. 

When do you usually get the flu shot for your child? 

• Before school starts (41%)
• At the beginning of the school year (40%) 
• Nov-December (13%)
• Jan-Feb (3%)
• Only when the flu is on the rise (3%)

MedStar Health recommends getting the flu shot sometime after September 1st. It takes about 4-6 weeks to respond fully to the vaccine, so if people are vaccinated in Sep/Oct they should be protected by Nov/Dec which is usually when flu starts.

MedStar Health has providers available to address parents’ health concerns for their children as they go back to school, and how they can help them live healthier lives.

Be Safe When Posting Your Child's Back To School Photos

My Daughter's First Day Of PreK

“Back-to-school” is here and to commemorate this time of year, many parents will be posting pictures on social media of their child holding a chalkboard or sign with details about their exciting first day back, including:

-   The child’s name

-   The name of the child’s teacher

-   The name of the school the child attends

-   The child’s height

-   The child’s interests, favorite food, colors, etc.

While it’s wonderful to be able to share updates with friends and family, it is also a good idea to be aware of just how much information you share on social media, and with whom, in order to keep the information you post private & secure. Lookout offers tips to protect your (and your children’s) personal information online this back-to-school season.

Consider limiting the information you share online
In recent years, online scams and data breaches have surged, and bad actors often use the personal information they collect about someone to try and access their online accounts or trick a person into falling for a phishing attack. When posting or sending information online, you may want to consider how much information you feel comfortable sharing. In the case of the LinkedIn and Facebook breaches in 2021, the combined leaked information from online profiles included phone numbers, physical and email addresses as well as personal and professional details.

Check your account and application permission settings
It’s also a good idea to check your account security settings and customize your controls for all your online accounts and devices.

In the case of social media accounts, almost 1 in 4 people (25%)* have their Facebook profile settings open to the “Public” – meaning anyone can view and collect personal details from the account. Attackers can easily scrape this information from social media posts and attempt to use this information to log accounts or attempt identity theft.

You can also look for any other third-party applications that you may have granted authorization to your social media profiles in the past. In the event any of these other applications are breached, it is possible they could expose information from your social media account.

Avoid creating passwords with personal identifiable information
It’s a good idea to always use strong and unique passwords and avoid using personal information that could be guessed. The same recommendation stands for security questions to your online accounts  – try and select questions that do not coincide with information that may be available online (for example, the name of your best friend, or the name of your child’s school).

* Lookout commissioned a survey to 2,000 consumers in November 2021.

Top Reasons to Try New Things

There is no doubt that it can be highly easy to get stuck in a rut – with the same old routines being practiced regularly. However, there is certainly a lot to be said for trying new things, as well as plenty of advantages that it can bring to both your personal and professional lives. Here are just some of the top reasons to try new things. 

Learn More About Yourself 

People still have the capacity to surprise themselves, but it is a lot less likely if you are doing the same things day in, day out. This is simply down to the fact that you are not exploring your boundaries and putting yourself in situations in which you feel uncomfortable. Ultimately, the more situations that you find yourself in, the more likely it is that you are going to learn more about yourself and perhaps find new hobbies or avenues of life you would like to explore.

Find Something New to Enjoy 

It may well be the case that you do not have any hobbies at all – or else you are simply doing the same ones. There is no doubt that this can all start to get a little stale over time. By trying out new things, you may well find your next favouriteactivity that you would like to take part in regularly. Alternatively, you could well simply find a new recipe, drink, or vape juice from Mist Electronic that brings you some joy. 

Meet New People 

There is also the sense that trying new things is going to allow you to meet new people. This could be done in a couple of main ways. To begin with, it may well be that you can join up with a new class of people who are all learning something at the same time. Alternatively, you may well join in with an online community of people who have a certain interest that they would like to explore in one way or another. 

Boost Your Life Satisfaction Levels 

Sometimes, it is simply the case that you are ready to add some extra enjoyment to your life, and there is no doubt that expanding your horizons is one of the means that you have at your disposal. They certainly say that variety is the spice of life, and there is a lot to be said for simply bringing in a new hobby or other areas of enjoyment to what you are doing.

Become a More Interesting Person 

Finally, the simple fact that you have more to talk about with other people can go a long way towards making you a more interesting person in general. You are always likely to have something to talk about at dinner parties and you will always have an anecdote or two that you can impart to others. 

All of these are among the major reasons to try new things all the time. Get out there and see what things capture your imagination.

New TV Series Exposes The Myth of Teacup Pigs

Pig Little Lies is a groundbreaking TV series that is exposing the lie of “teacup” pigs. There is no such thing. But, because of greed and misinformation, the public is mostly unaware that this is a scam. Now, thousands of pigs are being abandoned when they grow too big. Shelters and non-profit rescue organizations are being overrun. All because scammers are selling baby piglets disguised as full-grown “teacup” pigs. 

PIG LITTLE LIES:
https://watch.unchainedtv.com/apps/3909/167038/189608/192819

UnchainedTV created the world’s first reality TV series starring pigs to educate the public about this racket. The show’s goal is not to preach but merely to give viewers the tools to make an informed decision. 

Dante and Beatrice are a bonded pair of potbellied pigs who were dumped at a high-kill shelter in Southern California. After being rescued by animal-loving country singer Simone Reyes, the pigs end up on the property of Cindy Brady, an LA-based wildlife rehabber. When it turns out that Beatrice is pregnant and gives birth to a baker’s dozen of piglets, it brings home the point: when you get a pig, be ready for anything.

How does it all turn out? You can binge watch all 5 episodes on UnchainedTV, a global, non-profit, free, streaming TV network. Says UnchainedTV President Jane Velez-Mitchell, a New York Times best-selling author and award-winning journalist, “We used a fun approach to send a serious message. This scam is happening all over America. We rescued one pig family but saw other abandoned pigs coming into shelters as we were filming. It was heartbreaking. We can’t rescue them all. But, we can urge the public not to fall for it.”

Pig Little Lies features Teri Crutchfield, founder of Saving Animals and Healing Hearts, who also appeared with one of her rescued potbellied pigs on the Netflix series Pet Stars. Crutchfield says, “We get easily get 5-10 calls a week from people who have so-called miniature pigs and are trying to dump them because they’re too big. And, these pigs are pouring into shelters. It’s a tragedy that could be avoided if we just stopped breeding them for profit.” Some of these pigs can grow to more than 200 pounds. Even the smallest breed on record, a rare breed, features pigs that are 60 pounds. All are way too big for a teacup. 

UnchainedTV is available to download for free via App stores on iPhone and Android phones. It can be watched on television via Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV device, Roku device or via Samsung and LG Smart TVs. The network can also be watched online via UnchainedTV.com.

How to Support Your Kid’s Learning at Home

There are a huge number of reasons why your kid might be learning at home, whether it’s for schoolwork or extra-curricular activities. Thanks to the impact of the global pandemic, many kids in recent years have faced having to take their books home with them and learn from behind a screen. Others, like those who are home-schooled, are more accustomed to this, and flourish in a home-based learning environment. Whatever the reason, all kids deserve the best possible experience for success and development, so in this guide we’ll be bringing you our top tips for supporting your kid’s learning at home, to help you give them the right support. 

Develop a Routine

The first thing to do when supporting your kid’s learning from home is to develop a structured routine that is easy for both of you to stick to. If you’re home-schooling your kid and taking responsibility for all of their learning, then this routine will need to cover a wider range of materials and activities than if you are simply supporting them through an online-learning period of their education. Regardless, the right routine is vital to allow your kid to grow and develop. 

There are some easy steps that you can take to establish a reliable routine for your kid: 

1) Talk To Them 

Having input from your kid about their day can make a world of difference when it comes to planning their routine. Rather than dictate exactly where they should be and what they should be doing at any time, speaking to them to understand what they enjoy or might need some additional help with is a great way to make sure that you’re meeting their developmental needs. 

2) Prioritize Variation

A good way to create a routine that is easy to stick to is toprioritize variation in the tasks and activities that are included. Kids need lots of different stimuli and activities to keep them engaged, so by varying their routine you can set them up for success. Things that you can plan include regular exercise and extra-curricular activities, which we’ll talk a little more about later in this article. 

3) Set Clear Expectations

Once you’ve created a routine, having a structured timetable that is accessible for the whole family and easy for your kid to follow gives you the best chance of success. You can then set clear expectations around any rules, and how you’d like to see the routine implemented. 

Encourage Extra-Curricular Activities  

While home-schooling presents many positive benefits for kids across the United States, there are some areas in which kids can suffer when not given the correct support. In a 2011 survey, Cardus found that home-schooled individuals were more likely to report feeling helpless, and had less clarity around their goals and direction. However, this is not the case for all kids who learn at home, and there are plenty of ways that you can improve your kid’s outlook towards the future – one of the best ways to do this is to increase their socialization and prioritize extra-curricular activities. 

By taking some time to encourage your kid to take part in activities outside of their home learning, you can help them to make new friends and experience a greater sense of belonging. Speaking to others of a similar age will also encourage your kid to discuss some different paths that they can take as they get older, which could include college admission or employment opportunities that they might not have considered before. 

Research the Curriculum 

Depending on what state you live in, there are different requirements surrounding the testing of home-schooled kids, and those who attend a school but are currently learning from home will still have to sit standardized examinations and tests that determine their future educational progression. Because of this, it’s important that as a parent you work hard to develop an understanding of the curriculum for your kid’s age, and the types of testing that they will face. This means that you’ll be able to provide high-quality, accurate information for your kids and prepare them for their tests in the very best way possible. 

Utilize Free Resources

Once you have an understanding of the curriculum and know how it will be used to test your kid, you can then make the most out of free resources that you can find online to support their learning. For example, there are plenty of resources available for elementary school kids that can help bring them up to speed to a 4th grade writing level. In the 4th grade, writing is a key skill that they will need to master in order to take certain tests or meet their development objectives, so optimizing the free resources available to you is a great way to support them with this. 

Stay Healthy

It goes without saying that kids who are happy and healthy perform better at school, so implementing good habits is crucial to your kid’s development. When planning your kid’s routine, make sure that their meal plans are healthy, and that they are able to get enough daily exercise. Eating nutritious food and staying active brings a whole host of benefits for kids, including better sleep and an improved ability to focus. 

There are some great meal plan templates available online that you can use to plan their weekly food intake, and you can find some fantastic inspiration around the sports and activities available to kids by reaching out to parenting groups within the local community. Enrolling your kid into a sports club outside of school or their learning environment is also a great way to foster their development by offering greater opportunities to socialize. 

If you don’t have the money to support your kid to join a club within the community, then don’t be disheartened, as there are plenty of ways that you can encourage them to exercise at home. If you have a backyard, then you can set up outdoor activities like an obstacle course or mini soccer pitch andencourage them to invite friends over to share the experience. If not, you can find some brilliant videos online for dances or exercise routines that can be done indoors with minimal or no equipment. Exercise not only comes with physical benefits, but mental ones too, so whichever form of activity you choose for your kid, you can be certain that it will boost their development and improve their outlook on life. 

Make Time to Listen

Our last tip is probably the most important when it comes to supporting your kid through home learning, and it’s to make the time to listen. Giving your kid the opportunity to discuss how they feel that their learning is going is a brilliant way to understand more about what they enjoy, what they don’t like so much and any areas that they feel could do with some improvement. It’s also a chance for them to raise any concerns around their extra-curricular activities or socialization, and to let you know if there is anything they might be going through that they need some extra support with. Not only will this boost their learning capabilities, but it will also bring you closer to them and let them know that they are respected and listened to. 

Parenting is hard, and if you’re taking on the extra responsibilities that come with home-schooling or supporting your kid through a period of learning at home, then things can feel tough. However, by applying the tactics we’ve laid out in this guide, you can see an immediate change in the receptiveness of your kid to learning new things and feel closer than ever to them. Your kid will have a great learning experience, and you can make sure that they feel ready to achieve whatever they put their mind to!
