How time flies

I am amazed at how quickly time flies, learning to blog has taken on a whole new meaning for me. When I first started "blogging" I figured that it had to be educational in nature, then realized that it has to be interesting. Well here we go. This morning on the NBC's Today Show with Matt Lauer, there was a segment on how furniture can hurt our children. As many as 15 000 children get hurt every year. I found that quite amazing that there was an entire segment on this information. It is very important to know, and as parents we have all had that happen in some where in the house. But did you know that 15% of children under the age of 18 have some kind of learning disability. Many of them un diagnosed; leaving parents and children at a loss of how to be most successful in learning. We don't hear alot about this information and yet it is affecting so many families that the numbers are frightening.

There are so many programs available to us today that can truly improve children and teenagers learning ability. I am often as frustrated as parents get when we can see that a child has excellent potential but needs a slightly different way of absorbing the information. Computer technology can be very useful too, we see many new programs flooding the market but how do you know what to look for in a program? Lets have that discussion tomorrow.

Have a great day :)
