WICHITA, Kansas — Structural repairs to two of Wichita’s oldest high schools have cost nearly $60 million over the past three years — an expense leaders say prevents them from upgrading and Parenting, while rewarding, brings significant challenges and stress, often leading to burnout. This article explores parental burnout, its impact, and offers practical advice from psychologists on managing stress and finding support. But parents, teachers, and other caregivers all play a critical role in helping children learn to manage their feelings. [Related: Here’s advice from psychologists on how to help kids cope with anger and frustration] Children who manage their emotions well are more likely to do well in school and get along with others. The average age of our school buildings is 60 years old. Ongoing maintenance issues become more of a challenge as buildings age and resources are limited. Below are some of the data we consider and challenges we face with ensuring our school buildings are suitable for our educational priorities. How parents can help Parents and other caregivers have an important part to play, by adopting their own healthy habits and helping children and teens find stress-managing strategies. Some ways parents can take action: Model healthy coping. Caregivers can talk with children about how they’ve thought about and dealt with their own stressful The plan is looking at a mix of actions including rebuilding, renovation, consolidation and maintenance. A recent community survey identified the top priorities as optimizing and upgrading school buildings to address building needs and enhance the learning experience. Parents and caregivers must prepare for the upcoming changes in the parent-child relationship; teens will begin to detach to a greater degree from existing family bonds and focus more on their peers and the outside world. This quest for greater independence and autonomy is a natural part of the developmental process in adolescence. Luke Newman, the district’s director of facilities, told the board that deferred maintenance will end up costing $3.59 billion. This would fix all of the holes, leaks, crumbling bricks and deteriorating concrete in Wichita schools. The “Facilities Master Plan” Wichita Public Schools presented to the school board Monday night calls for rebuilding, reconfiguring or consolidating about two dozen of the district’s Kansas’ largest public school system is grappling with $1.2 billion in deferred maintenance needs, and the vision for a reimagined USD 259 with “newer and fewer” schools may rely on voter support Reeser says the district will avoid 200 million dollars in deferred maintenance by 2034 by following this plan. This is because it will have fewer buildings in operation. He says this means Of the 300 telephone calls and more than 2,700 online responses, 89.1% agree that we need school buildings that can accommodate up-to-date teaching and learning methods, and 79.2% agree that upgrading school buildings is essential to improving the city. In addition to building concerns, Wichita Public Schools Director of Facilities Luke Newman touched on a trend that could lead to a bigger challenge down the road: decreasing enrollment. Since then, the state’s largest district has been searching for a plan to address aging buildings and declining enrollment. Last month, an advisory committee created by the district rejected The job of parenting aims to ensure children’s health and safety, prepare children for life as productive adults, transmit cultural values, and more. Parents as a noun is plural denoting one's mum and dad. Eg: My parents (mum and dad) are here for the meeting. As verb, it is a third person singular form of a verb and its also a simple present tense. It means to act as a father or mother, to look after, to bring up, or to raise. Eg: She parents her children in a religious way. For many parents, home in the age of COVID-19 has become the office, the classroom, even the gym. Many parents are struggling to not only keep their children occupied, but also to oversee schooling, even as they telework, grocery shop and perform all the other daily necessities of family life. At the same time, children may be reacting to stress by acting out or regressing to behaviors long A multipronged approach to social media management, including time limits, parental monitoring and supervision, and ongoing discussions about social media can help parents protect teens’ brain development. Parents who use physical discipline may be teaching their child to resolve conflicts with physical aggression. Researchers found that spanking can elevate a child’s aggression levels as well as diminish the quality of the parent-child relationship. A parent’s death can deeply affect adults in their middle years, challenging self-identity and prompting a renewed focus on life goals.
