AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM VERIZON & ADVOCATE TIM HOLLISTER, WHO LOST HIS SON IN A CRASH

The Author of ‘NOT SO FAST: Parenting Your Teens Through the Dangers of Driving’ is Teaming up with Hum by Verizon with a Special Message for Parents

Tim Hollister knows the statistics and has lived through a parent’s worst nightmare. His teenage son was killed in a crash, becoming part of the shocking statistic that the No. 1 cause of death for teenagers is car crashes. Since then, Hollister has honored his son’s memory by turning his personal tragedy into a public service in order to help educate parents and their teens about safer practices for young drivers and that there is no such thing as a safe teen driver. 

On October 23, which is during National Teen Driver Safety Week, Hollister will share his story and the reasons he is teaming up with Hum by Verizon to walk parents through some basic safety tips.  You’ll also find out why he’s advocating for technologies like Hum that can help parents monitor their teen’s driving habits and find teachable moments to help them improve.  He will also explain how parents can train teens to operate a vehicle more safely but cannot overcome the fact that safe driving requires several years of experience. 


DOMINIQUE CICCARELLI – EDUCATION EXPERT FROM KUMON NORTH AMERICA - TIPS TO DEAL WITH MATH ANXIETY

CRUNCH TIME: HELP YOUR CHILD STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE

As students are back in full swing at school, some may feel the stress and pressure that comes along with it. The thought of a test can make even the most confident student feel stressed, but for some, the feeling goes beyond a little worry.  It has been shown that many students deal with “math anxiety”. And often times, that math anxiety starts at home. Research shows that children of highly math-anxious parents were more likely to develop math anxiety themselves when their parents helped with homework. Some studies show that 10 to 20 percent of adults experience math anxiety.

Education expert Dominique Ciccarelli will be available for interviews to give advice to parents on how to lessen math anxiety. Instilling confidence early is one key factor. Math skills at kindergarten entry can predict later math achievement.
