Teaching kids how to start a newspaper means covering citizen journalism in today’s digital world. Young people live surrounded by smartphones, social media, and instant news sharing. Anyone can now break stories, share information, and influence public opinion, which makes understanding citizen journalism essential when teaching kids how to start a newspaper.
Sometimes, no matter how hard your child may try, they will not be able to get past a particular problem with their homework. So, how can you encourage a breakthrough as a teacher or parent?
One way is by encouraging them to take a break. Research shows that brains build bigger creative webs when in a good mood. This means that resting and taking time to relax may help your child improve their mood and spark their creativity.
Is your child feeling nervous about returning to school? Many families face back-to-school anxiety as summer winds down. But starting a new school year doesn’t have to bring stress – with the right approach, you can help your child see school as something exciting to look forward to.
Just like kids eagerly anticipate holidays and birthdays because they mean special family moments and treats, you can transform the back-to-school season into a time of joy and anticipation.
Ever stared at something so long you weren’t sure what you were seeing anymore? That’s the wild world of optical illusions at work! If you’re looking for a fun optical illusion science activities for kids, you’re in for a treat.
Think of your eyes and brain as dance partners – they’re constantly working together to make sense of the world around you. Sometimes though, this dance gets a little messy, and that’s where the magic happens. Our visual perception isn’t perfect (thank goodness, or we’d miss out on all the fun!). When our brain interpretation takes a shortcut, we end up seeing things that aren’t quite what they seem.
In a recent TED Talk, educator Richard St. John shared why passion plays a key role in finding career success.
He explained that successful people don’t just work hard—they love what they do, which drives them to go above and beyond. To back this up, he surveyed young adults aged 18-25 and found that 80% listed “becoming rich” as one of their top life goals. However, when he spoke to millionaires, none of them started out with the goal of getting rich.
So, what’s the lesson? St. John says that if you focus on doing something you love, the rest—like working hard and staying motivated—comes naturally. As he puts it, “It’s amazing what you can do if you love what you do.”
As a parent, helping your child discover what they love can be the first step toward building a fulfilling career, but how can you guide them to explore their passions and find something they’ll love doing for years to come?
Helping kids with colour blindness becomes important when you realize how much classroom learning depends on colours for success. Your child might struggle with science diagrams, math charts, or art projects without you understanding why their grades don’t reflect their intelligence. Colour blindness affects about one child per classroom, yet many parents and teachers remain unaware of its impact on daily learning.
This condition doesn’t mean your child sees the world in black and white – most children with colour blindness simply have difficulty distinguishing between certain colour combinations. Understanding this difference helps you advocate for your child and create strategies that support their academic success throughout their educational journey.
