Childhood Lost

Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).

Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.

What will happen in another 4 years? How can we go on like this? This is a national (and international) problem of monumental proportions. We have an entire new class of children who cannot be accommodated by the system: many are manifestly neurologically impaired. Meanwhile, the government and the medical profession sleep on regardless.

The generation of American children born after 1990 are arguably the sickest generation in the history of our country.

It seemed to me that with rising autism prevalence, you’d also see rising autism costs to society, and it turns out, the costs are catastrophic.
They calculated that in 2015 autism cost the United States $268 billion and they projected that if autism continues at its current rate, we’re looking at one trillion dollars a year in autism costs by 2025, so within five years.

After fundraising for a therapy dog, staff from a local school now know more about the partner that will soon serve the students. A dog named Brooks has been named the new Briarwood Elementary School therapy dog. Brooks graduated from Deer Creek Labradoodles with his therapy dog certification…. Briarwood principal Lori Morris said therapy dogs already within the district currently are very beneficial to both staff and students, and she’s looking forward to seeing everyone interact with brooks in the same way. “Mrs. Billingsley has some kids that have some extreme or special needs, and they really seem to be attracted to the dog and seem to help them with their emotional needs when the dogs come into the building,” Morris said….
