Did you know that girls are probably just as likely as boys to have ADHD — yet they’re far less likely to be diagnosed? Together, we can make sure no girl with ADHD gets overlooked again.

Many girls have inattentive-type ADHD, and they often go unnoticed. When people think of ADHD, they usually imagine hyperactive kids “bouncing off the walls.” But what about the quiet child who’s lost in thought, struggling to follow the lesson? That child needs support, too. Her challenges are easier to miss — and that can have long-lasting consequences.

Experts cover topics like signs and symptoms, root causes, and talking and understanding to help parents feel empowered to take that first step in supporting their kids. Resources are available on how to take action, about IEPs, 504 plans, and how to manage day-to-day emotions.

With the right diagnosis, girls with ADHD can get the support they need. They can thrive in school — and be celebrated for their strengths instead of punished for their differences.

Hi Parents - Tips on Bullying - 7 tips to help you recognize and address bullying in kids.

School should be a safe place for all kids. But bullying can make it hard for some kids to enjoy school. Kids who think or learn differently are often more at risk of being bullied. Recognizing the signs and taking the right steps can make a big difference. Check out these seven tips to support a child who might be dealing with bullying.

1. Understand the signs

Frequent headaches, stomachaches, and sudden refusal to attend school can be signs of bullying. Be aware of physical symptoms that aren’t easily explained

2. Spot behavioral changes

If your child becomes secretive or avoids talking about school, it could be a red flag. Pay attention if they brush off bruises or suddenly want to skip social events.

3. Watch for withdrawal

Kids who are bullied often pull away from friends, hobbies, and activities they used to enjoy. Encourage open conversations if they stop engaging with peers.

4. Address anger

Anger or acting out at home and school can be a child’s response to bullying. Speak with teachers to monitor changes in behavior both in and outside the classroom.

5. Know the difference between teasing and bullying

Teasing is often a one-time, social interaction. Bullying is repeated and involves a power imbalance. Teaching kids this difference can help them know when to seek help for bullying.

6. Encourage self-advocacy

Help your child build confidence by practicing responses to bullying. Statements like “That’s not OK” can empower them to stand up for themselves.

7. Seek support

If the bullying continues, review the school’s anti-bullying policies. Report the bullying to the school and monitor the response. You may need legal assistance if the situation doesn’t improve.

You don’t need to know martial arts and you don’t need prior workout experience.
The total body workout designed to cater to people at all levels of fitness. Cage Fitness™ is based on the structure of an MMA Main Event Fight. What this means is that Cage Fitness™ will
give you a total body workout in just 5 – 5-minute rounds. There are four key elements that are focused on: endurance, strength, power, and core. We can customize your workout by adjusting the intensity level to best suit your personal fitness goals. Each 5-minute round incorporates both aerobic and anaerobic exercises that will help you maximize burning fat while also gaining muscle.
This system of training is going to allow you to burn more calories while increasing your metabolism. Just one of the many benefits of our classes, the Afterburn effect happens when you take the body out of its comfort zone during an intense workout. By doing so, it will continue to burn additional calories the rest of the day to get back in balance. So, yes, even if you are sitting around after your workout, your body will continue to burn calories! Now smile and book your first class!

We have a new black belt at Faiferlick Martial Arts!
Congratulations to Lizzy Tiernan.
She has been studying the martial arts since 12/16/2014 - almost 10 years. The biggest reason she didn't earn this years ago is because she is FINALLY 15 years old! It has been a long challenging journey. She has excelled in every way and just like other black belts, she has earned this rank through both physical strength and mental determination to overcome difficulties. We are so incredibly proud of her and her family for this accomplishment. She has been a large part of our gym, filling in and assisting instructors for years. We are so appreciative of her time and talent and look forward to many more years as she is truly just at the beginner of her martial arts life.

Join us at 6pm for Hook Sweep and Guillotine Defense!
