Making House Cleaning Fun And Educational By: Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes Okay, I’ll admit it, I hate housework, but I hate living in squalor even more. With two kids, five animals and a husband, I was always cleaning. I knew there had to be a better way. So I thought, and thought. . .After all, you have plenty of time to think doing all that cleaning.
One day, while I was planning the activities for my 3 year-old it dawned on me. Sean loves sorting. Let’s see if we can make chores fun and help him learn at the same time. And so it happened. (Yo... Tags: early childhood education, parenting, toddlers, homeschooling
Effective Discipline By: Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes We often hear that good parenting means consistency and discipline, but rarely does anyone ever stop to explain what that means. Let’s start with discipline. When we discipline our children, we are trying to get them to do something they are not doing or stop doing something they are. Discipline is not something we just do when our children misbehave. It is an ongoing activity in which we, as parents, reward positive behaviors and punish and replace negative behaviors.
Common Sense Methods For Beating Depression By: Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes Depression can feel overpowering at times. Medication can help, but it certainly does not do everything. So what else can you do? I suggest the following interventions to many of my patients. Try adding one or two at a time to see what helps.
Environment

Addictions Counselor Certification: Why Should I Get It? By: Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes Research and clinical practice has demonstrated that co-occurring disorders (addictions and mental health issues occurring together) are the rule, not the exception. This leaves many people who were trained as psychologists, mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists at a great disadvantage, both clinically and professionally. They are at a clinical disadvantage, because addictions counseling requires a very different counseling approach than most counselors ...

Homeschooling The ADD/ADHD Child By: Dawn-Elise Snipes As homeschool parents, there are many options for teaching our children. I have found the variety out there to actually be overwhelming, but few resources actually meet my needs. My son is gifted, but has ADHD. As a clinician and a professor, I hated seeing him struggle in school. Each day he would tell me he had "Carnitors" (T-Rex's for the rest of us) in his tummy. After meeting with his teacher several times, it became clear that the school was unable/unwilling to meet his... Tags: homeschool, homeschooling, time4learning
Just a Thing or Two on Online Education By: Elias Maseko You need to know the what, the why, the benefits and the how of the various forms of distance learning. For some children their parents set aside a room in the house for their distance learning. The emergence of the Internet as a worldwide communications network has revolutionized the concept of distance learning. With the adoption of online learning by universities as an important media for imparting distance education, the quality of the online courses offered has become comparable to traditional classroom courses. Online and distance learning post secondary education schools allow the freedom to study at any time to achieve a degree. Continued medical education is superb for healthcare professionals that lead busy lifestyles, but have the ability to access distance learning or e-learning based courses from the convenience of their homes or offices.
