Social skills and building relationships can be a challenge for children and adults with ADHD.
Issues with social skills usually stem from the fact that they lack the ability to pay attention
long enough to pick up the social cues, that others take for granted. They also are
challenged with impulsivity that leads to a multitude of difficulties, from hurting someone’s
feelings unintentionally to acting out in a physical manner. These challenges can cause
turmoil in the school, home, and workplace.
Parents can take advantage of Adaptimist's Personal Intelligence testing services designed for youth. These can augment existing wellness programs for their children.

Dealing with bullies do's & don'tsEdukhojIndia
The many types of researches on bullying have predominantly shown that bullying is practised everywhere and can be devastating to the victim's mental & physical health. Mostly it has been observed that bullying affects an individual’s psychology and personality development during the foundation years, i.e., in schools. Here, parents or guardians need to play a crucial role – they need to be extra vigilant and observe their child’s behaviour and try to figure out whether he/she gets bullied in school or plays the role of a bully. Now, in this PPT, let’s understand more about how to deal with bullies in a better and effective way.

This presentation was for foster parents at a recent training. It has valuable information for any parent looking to re-frame the challenges of parenting in order to feel more effective.

CHAPTER 4
Building an Anti‑Bias Education Program: Clarifying and Brave Conversations with Children
Everything teachers do—setting up the learning environment; planning the curriculum; observing, assessing, and thinking about individual children; and so much more—rests upon establishing strong, caring, and trusting relationships with children and families. Without such relationships with their teachers, children find it hard to open up, to learn, to grow, to feel safe. These relationships are built onSeeing each individual child as a member of a unique family with many, often complex, social identities that shape their learning and ways of beingRespecting each child’s individual way of learning and being rather than imposing an expected behaviorKnowing how children learn to think and how they are, and are not yet, able to discern what is happening around themUnderstanding that children are in the process of learning at all times and that it takes many experiences before they master an idea or a behaviorListening carefully to each child to understand how each is making sense of experiences and/or behavior
An essential element in building strong relationships is your willingness to engage in conversations that support children’s sense of self, that let them know they are safe and honored exactly as who they are. Children live in a world that sends multiple, stereotype‑laden messages about their comparative value, their right to be visible, and how they are expected to behave based on their economic class, ethnicity, gender, abilities, racial identity, and religion. These overt and covert messages affect their own sense of self‑worth and how they think about people who are different. Avoiding conversations about identity and fairness is a disservice to children who are developmentally dependent upon adults to help them make sense of the complex and contradictory societal messages they receive.
When programs do not demonstrate respect for and acknowledgement of human diversity, children and families cannot feel truly seen or honored. When a teacher avoids directly addressing comments or behaviors that can hurt another child, no child feels safe. Keeping silent not only does not help children, it actively hurts them. Learning how to break this silence, how to talk about anti‑bias issues with clarity, courage, and caring, is an essential skill not only in the world of early childhood education but in the world at large. This chapter explores ways to build trusting relationships with children by directly talking about identity, diversity, injustice, and activism, which correspond to the four goals of ABE.The Hurtful Power of Silence
It is hoped that children will turn to their trusted adults when they are confused or are hurt by their experiences. But to do so, children need a vocabulary to describe what they are thinking. Too often, adults ignore children’s attempts to understand how people can be different from one another and yet the same. A Whit ...
Protective Factors that Prevent Child Abuse & NeglectJim McKay
The Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) has completed a comprehensive research
analysis, which identified five Protective Factors that are linked to the prevention of child abuse and neglect.
These Protective Factors or “Circles of Caring” are conditions in families and communities that,
when present, increase the health and well-being of children and families. These attributes also
serve as buffers against risk factors for child maltreatment.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

who is struggling, whether that child is their own
child or another child they care about and/or work
with.

FRIENDSHIP SKILLS
Recognize that friendship skills don’t come easily to
or naturally for every child.
Friendships may be particularly difficult for children
who are struggling with mental health,
neurodevelopmental, and/or behavioural challenge.
Your child may need a little extra help learning how to
regulate his emotions and his attention and some
extra practice understanding how friendships work.

9. Confidential – Not for Distribution www.ChildrenSupportSolutions.com 1.866.653.2397
FRIENDSHIP SKILLS
Consider what is realistic for your child right now
Respect your child’s temperament and consider where he
is at developmentally as you look for ways to encourage
your child to work on his friendship skills.
Examples:
Can you think of an extra-curricular activity that he
would enjoy and that would provide him with
opportunities to work on his friendship skills?
Is he ready to have a friend join him on a family outing?

other children in your friend’s
class.
Join forces with your child’s
teacher. Maybe she can think of
ways your child could work on
his friendship skills at school.

her behaviour affects other
people—and vice versa.
Help her to identify any behaviours
that could be contributing to
difficulties in her relationships: not
looking people in the eye when she
is speaking to them, speaking too
quietly or too loudly, interrupting
other people repeatedly.

FRIENDSHIP SKILLS
Help your child to understand how friendships work
Dissect social encounters—both situations your child
has been directly involved in and situations he has
observed (including situations in books he has read or
movies he has watched).
Role-play different outcomes to the same situation.
What could you do or say differently? How might that
affect the way things turn out?
Encourage your child to see the same situation from
different perspectives. (Consider how different the
view is if you sit on different sides of the same room.)

BULLYING

BULLYING
What parents and teachers can do to help
Help children to work on any underlying areas of
difficulty, so they won’t be as vulnerable to being
bullied. Children who are rejected by their peers early
on miss out on the opportunity to socialize with other
children, causing them to fall behind their peers when
it comes to understanding how relationships work.
Help your child to be emotionally literate. Talk about
how emotions work and how we can ensure that they
work for, not against, us.

BULLYING
What parents and teachers can do to help
Encourage pro-social behaviours amongst all children.
Teach your child to ask for help in a way that
strengthens relationships, minimizes conflict, and
encourages the other person to want to help.
Take your child’s concerns seriously and help her to
come up with a plan for dealing with bullying.
Help your child to develop strong relationships with
you, his teacher, and a peer.
