Discover Why the Corax the Tutor Helps With ADHD

Discover Why the Corax the Tutor Helps With ADHDThe Corax the Tutor was introduced in 1989 by Dr. Geir J. Eldbjørnsen. It is a toy of teaching type that helps children with the concept of understanding and how to do it.Children like to make their own toys or even make toys that they like. For that reason they come up with various types of toys in order to show their creativity. This is a great idea because this will increase the chances of them being able to have a successful school career.The Corax the Tutor is one of the most popular toys. This is mainly because it teaches children about different values like passion, time and patience. It also teaches the importance of not putting too much pressure on a child when they are playing with it. They should simply enjoy it.Kids will play with this type of toy for hours. Some parents have even claimed that the toys can help cure ADHD. That's right, kids just love to play with toys. They like to imagine themselves as having all the power in the world and because of that the toy teaches them how to be strong and for the rest of their lives.Parents used to worry a lot about their kids having too much attention towards the toy because of the emotional involvement they have with it. But that's where the helpfulness of the toy comes in. If they can just go to sleep with it, they can also keep themselves occupied all the day.Although the Corax the Tutor does teach values, it is more of an interactive toy than a physical one. So the kid can just put it into a big closet where they can then keep it for the whole day without worrying about it. Besides, it is quite easy to clean. Even your older children can put it away in a simple plastic bag that you can buy at any grocery store.It is important to remember that playing with the toy does not need to be accompanied by ADHD. It is rather just a good time to entertain yourself and learn about what it is you are dealing with.

The September 26th Presidential Debate Is Upon Us

The September 26th Presidential Debate Is Upon Us Photo Via: http://i1.wp.com Take a look below for everything college students need to know about tonight’s debate! 1. The Moderator: The debate will be held at Hofstra University in New York and Lester Holt, whom you may recognize from NBC’s Nightly News, will be moderating the debate between Clinton and Trump. And he has already released the three topics that will be under discussion: America’s Direction, Achieving Prosperity and Securing America. With this format, there will be six, 15-minute segments and each topic will take up two of these segments. That being said, don’t worry about commercials, because this 90-minute program does not have any. So you have 90 minutes of good, TV drama. 2. The Issues: The issues most likely to come up are as follows: National Security, Immigration, The Economy, Child Care and Foreign Relations. With national security, you’re likely to hear about the recent bombings in NYC and NJ as well as the differences between the terrorism approach and the “let’s investigate first” approach. Also, you’ll be hearing a lot about ISIS as well as the Iraq war. With immigration, you’re going to hear about that wall that we’re beginning to hate as well as the pathway to citizenship. In other words, there’s going to be some very strong opposition here with no in-between. With the economy, you’ll hear about bringing jobs back to the U.S., Obama’s trade deal, and Trump’s bankruptcy and inability to sympathize with anyone other than the 1 percent. *The anti-Bernie With child care, Trump will be arguing for tax breaks and paid leave for new moms and Clinton will be doing the same for both moms and dads, which would result in a tax increase. Foreign relations will consist of talks of nuclear war and the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Also, the “bromance” between Trump and Russian President Valdmir Putin. *Woohoo 3. Where to Watch: You’re going to want to tune into this debate, which will air across all major networks (double-check your TiVo to make sure your regularly scheduled programming doesn’t get passed over), but it is also getting with the times. This debate is going to be live streamed on Twitter, which has been a big player in this year’s election, whether we consider that good or bad news. Either way, the debate is very easy to access, so even if you can’t pry yourself away from a night out, you can stay current. 4. Yes, It’s a Drinking Game: Like all debates, you can (and should) drink to this one. Some sample rules are as follows: 1. Drink every time Trump says “Mexico” 2. Drink every time you hear the word “emails” 3. Drink every time Trump is upset by the way Lester Holt is moderating 4. Drink every time a candidate ignores the buzzer Of course, there are plenty more games out there for you to follow, depending on how crazy you want your Monday night to be, but make sure that in-between drinks, you’re paying attention to the issues at hand (while not letting them get you too worked up, don’t be that person). So definitely take the time to tune into the debate tonight, as it’s going to be a very, very big deal that you’ll be hearing about for the next few months anyway. Oh, and in the meantime, register to vote! Every vote counts, so definitely take advantage of that! Below you will also find the layout of debates to come, just so that you’re in the know and can plan your nights ahead of time! September 26, 2016 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York (Presidential Debate) October 4, 2016 at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia (Vice-Presidential Debate) October 9, 2016 at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri (Presidential Debate) October 19, 2016 at the University of Las Vegas, Nevada in Las Vegas, Nevada (Presidential Debate) All of the debates will be 90 minutes long, airing from 9 p.m. EST to 10:30 p.m. EST. So again, be sure to check out your other programs to make sure you aren’t missing anything and get your drinking games ready, because this election year is an absolute mess, so you might as well be prepared for it!

Staying Focused At Community College - by TutorNerds

Staying Focused At Community College - by TutorNerds Success in Community College: How to Stay Focused Community colleges in California offer great transfer programs to both Cal State and University of California, however many students get distracted and the dropout rates seem to be significantly higher than that of a four year college. So, how can CC students stay focused? Read on for some great tips from an Orange County college consultant. 1. Make new friends Most CC students are tempted to hang around with their old friends from high school. It can be very enticing, with the newfound freedom of adulthood, to skip a class here and there with your buddies and talk about old times. It’s totally okay to keep those friends who were with you from the 9th another high school or even from out of state can offer a new perspective on education and help to better emulate the college experience. If you are ready to reinvent yourself as a great student who gets straight As, then get to know some people who want to do the same (READ: College textbooks: the struggle is real). Start a study group or join one that is already in progress. California community colleges have clubs ranging from ‘foreign language movie night’ to ‘yoga at the beach’ and just about anything else you could imagine. If you don’t know where to start, join the ASB (Associated Student Body) and get to know some people who have similar interests or who share a passion for a topic or subject that you enjoy. 2. Drive a bit farther If you know for a fact that you will skip classes and hang out with friends from high school, consider driving a bit farther. If you live in Irvine, you are still entitled to attend classes at Saddleback, even though IVC is the closest school. You may be able to attend courses outside of your district if you are ready for a completely fresh start. If you end up at Saddleback instead of IVC, you might be able to better copy the four year college experience. Without the distractions of high school friends, you can spend more time on academics and have a better chance of doing well. Remember, you can still hang out with your old friends on the weekend (CLICK: Community College Placement Tests). 3. Ask someone to hold you accountable This person could be a tutor or a family member or even a friend. If you know someone is going to ask you how your sociology test went, then you are more likely to study for the test and show up on the day of the exam. Try and have a study buddy for each class. Ask him or her to keep you on your toes (you can do the same for them) and encourage them to text you and keep you up to date of any new assignments or exam reminders. Attending office hours on a regular basis is also a great way to keep you on your toes (READ: The Students Guide to Study Breaks). Professors are not responsible for ensuring that their students make it to every class, but, if you show up to office hours every Mon/Wed/Fri on a regular basis, they will probably notice if you stop coming. Some professors will ask how things are going and remind you that they are available for help. 4. Spend time on campus Many students tell themselves that they will study when they get home but later get distracted by everything that is going on in the house. Stay on campus in between classes and get all of your homework done. Set yourself up in the cafeteria, the library or anywhere on campus. There won’t be nearly as many distractions to keep you away from your studies. You are also a lot more likely to meet other students if you hang around campus, which can help emulate the four year experience.
