My Brain Hurts!

by Monoika Howard, parent and third grade teacher

“My brain hurts!” Have you ever heard a child share that statement? It’s not a headache; it’s not that they “physically” feel their brain hurting. It could be their way of expressing the stress they feel when they are overwhelmed. In my years of being an educator and working in school counseling capacities, I have found that young people face stressful situations just like adults. The only difference is my years of experience making the transition from my youth to adulthood: I’ve learned strategies to help me cope.

by Brandy Fenderson, Executive Director

At each of our East Nashville Hope Exchange family workshops, I stress to families that while I have a master’s degree in education, when it comes to being a parent, I am just like everyone else: I’m a work in progress.

Yesterday, when I opened my daughter's kindergarten report card, I smiled when I saw all the "E" marks for Excellent, but then I saw the 'Notice of Concern' for my child's tardies. I felt a little embarrassed. How can I stand in front of ENHE families at our workshops and talk about the importance of getting your child to school on time, when it is a daily battle in my own household?

Don’t Forget About Rereading

by Zain Murtaza Maken

The habit of reading  goes a long way in determining the future career path of our children. Reading helps in developing cognition, and it encourages children to build linkages and associations with what they see in the world. Another important feature of reading is discussing books with adults, whether they be a teacher, parent, or elder sibling, because it helps the child bounce off ideas and helps improve overall understanding. This attempt to communicate his or her understanding helps the child be more confident about his or her opinion and understand how different people can draw a different set of opinions about the same book.

The Importance of Family Involvement in Literacy

by Lisa Howington

I frequently struggle to sit down for any length of time when I am at home. It seems like there is always something that needs to be done. There is the work that I brought home, dinner that needs to be made, and with four children, there is always laundry that needs to be washed and folded. With all of these tasks looming over my head, sitting down with my children to read a book seems like a luxury I cannot afford.
