Hi my son just turned siz at the end of August and started first grade at the same time.

Seeking Ideas for My 8Yr Old Daughter

My 8yr old daughter is enjoying science in school. This is a good thing as she struggles in math, so this may actually help her in the long run. My question is that I am trying to find some outside activities related to science for her to be involved with. She in particular likes rocks and earth science. She says no one at school does and she does not want the kids to think she is wierd. I want to embrace this new interest. Does anyone have any ideas for some after school or weekend science activities? interes I guess I should...

Homework with a Bad Attitude

My 8 yr old son was just recently diagnosed with ADHD. He is a very bright, intellegent kid. It's just really hard to keep him focused.
