Dear Kid Whisperer, Another teacher at my school recently loaned me a copy of "The Classroom Behavior Manual." Wow! I just read through the entire book yesterday! This book is speaking directly about my school's student population. I teach at the middle school in our city with the lowest soc…
Dear Kid Whisperer, I am not considered an official educator, but I do have time with my kids every day before school. I am a bus driver, and I believe I have a big impact on my kids. As they say, "I am the first face they see in the morning." I have, at most, one hour of time each morning w…
Advocacy groups and experts have slammed YouTube for serving up low-quality artificial intelligence-generated videos to its most vulnerable audience: children.
Hey. Psst. Hey. You. Hey, you, the one reading this. Yeah, you. I lured you into this column because if I had called this “How to make your kids happy,” it would have attracted all of the wrong people (people who think that they can make their kids happy). This column is not for them. It’s f…

Jurors sided with state prosecutors who argued that Meta — which owns Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp — prioritized profits over safety.
Dear Kid Whisperer, My son is a high school basketball player who often forgets his basketball shoes and his practice clothes at home. He went from being apologetic and sheepish when he called me from school to ask me to bring him his stuff, to recently just leaving a message where he was angry at me for not answering and demanding that I bring him his gear immediately so he didn’t have to ...

To effectively write this column and do my real job (going around the country teaching adults strategies and procedures for working with kids), I keep my powers of professional perception sharp by often visiting a Variable Stressor Family Interaction Lab (VSFIL), where I can see parents interacting with their children under varying levels of duress.
