Rajni's Blog Review

I read Rajni's blog in regards to TB. I am also shock to discover that the USA does not have a preventative solution as does the third world countries. It is very disturbing to know that the USA is so far behind other countries. I also found it educational to know that you can get TB from flying on an airplance, but it does make sense; considering all the amount of people that be on one flight. TB is an interesting disease within itself because its communicable and their is really no way to protect yourself unless you live your live walking around with a full body germ suit on that can prevent you from breathing everybody air and to stop skin contact.

Working With Your Child's School

The quality tool that I picked for this week is related to Caring for Children with ADHD: A Resource Toolkit for Clinicians. I founded it interesting to know that most parents discover thier child is ADHD by a teacher from school. I learned that the correct method as to diagnosis a child with ADHD is to talk to both the parent and the teacher while examining the child's behavior. I learned some interesting tips that would help your child cope better with ADHD and perfoming well in school. The most important one to me was to praise your child for good work; however, I believe parents should do that regardless if their child has ADHD or not. I have learned that jusy by praising your child for doing good that will eliminate them doing bad in most cases.
