They report that these kinds of skills are developed through STEM learning.

Some of the activities offered at WonderWorks include learning about extreme weather, taking on physical challenges, getting immersed in space discovery, exploring the imagination lab, strolling through the illusion art gallery, reading about science careers, and more.

Healthy Habits - Eczema

 As spring arrives, allergy season emerges, which may impact millions of people including those with atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema. Those suffering from eczema are at higher risk of food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis (also known as hay fever). For many patients, allergies exacerbate eczema symptoms, and for some, it can also limit the treatment options and at home remedies available to them. For some, like a mother and her seven-year-old daughter (more of their story below), managing eczema symptoms can be especially challenging.

 

Eczema is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases, affecting more than 26 million people in the U.S., including more than 9.6 million children. Itchy skin is the most common symptom, affecting the majority of people with eczema.

Parents try their best to find treatment options for their children who are affected by eczema. One mother noticed early on that her daughter’s skin was different, marked by constant itching and pain. Concerned, she consulted a pediatrician, but the doctor dismissed her worries.

 

Several years later, a dermatologist diagnosed her daughter with eczema and her family began searching for a treatment option that would work for her. Despite trying a number of treatment options, she became allergic to some of the only options available for her age group. After years of trial and error, she found relief with a new prescription treatment option for eczema.

 

In this interview, she will share her daughter's experience with eczema and her treatment journey. She will be joined by a pediatric dermatologist who will discuss how allergy season affects those with the condition, and how a new prescription treatment option is helping some patients manage their symptoms.

Book Nook - Hi! I’m Cher. I Go Everywhere!

  Jane Enright, an award-winning author and passionate advocate for brain health and well-being, recently released her debut children's book, Hi! I’m Cher. I Go Everywhere!. Designed to inspire kindness, self-awareness, and adventure, the book introduces young readers to Cher, a real, lovable service dog who spreads “pawsitivity” and love wherever she goes.

 

This new book and its companion video shorts CherGoesEverywhere on YouTube and Instagram, aim to educate children and their grownups on the superpowers of mindfulness, gratitude, and kindness while fostering a healthy emotional  outlook and resilience.

 

“With all the grown-up nonsense in the world, sometimes it can be challenging for the children in our lives to manage their feelings, be their authentic selves, develop a habit of mindfulness, and have a positive outlook,” says Jane Enright.

 

Drawing on her experience as an elementary school teacher, and her own recovery from a traumatic brain injury, Jane weaves lessons of compassion, mindfulness, positive thinking, and confidence into the story of Cher, creating a fun, relatable and engaging rhyming story for children.

 

Hi! I’m Cher. I Go Everywhere! It is more than just a book; it’s a well-being movement! The Cher Goes Everywhere brand includes:

• A stuffed animal: A cuddly companion for classrooms and homes, encouraging emotional connection, support, comfort, and calm.
• Coloring and activity books: Creative resources that align with the themes of the book, helping teachers and parents integrate mindfulness, gratitude, health, and well-being into daily learning curriculum.

The Cher Goes Everywhere series also offers educators innovative ways to incorporate social-emotional learning into their classrooms. By pairing the book and its accompanying materials with the emotional support of the Cher stuffed animal, teachers can create a safe and nurturing environment for students teaching children how to respond to feelings, rather than react, manage their emotions, and cultivate a more positive attitude.

 

“Mindfulness is essentially how we see ourselves and the world around us. I believe every child deserves the tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, kindness, and courage,” adds Jane. “Through Cher’s adventures, I hope to spark conversations with children and their caregivers about the benefits of being truly present and aware with all of our senses, to help keep our brains healthy, and to fully experience life joyfully with more confidence, less worry, and inspiring ideas to experience a more positive outlook.

 

 

Hi! I’m Cher. I Go Everywhere! It is available on Amazon and all fine book sellers.

Money Matters - Cities Where People Are the Most Delinquent on Debt

 With Americans carrying about $18 trillion in total household debt, the personal finance website WalletHub has released its latest report on the Cities Where People Are the Most Delinquent on Debt. This report identifies the cities where residents face the highest risk of credit score damage and other financial consequences.

To determine the areas where people are struggling the most with debt payments, WalletHub analyzed proprietary user data from Q4 2024 across the 100 largest cities for which a complete data set was available. The ranking factors in both the percentage of individual tradelines that were delinquent and the share of residents’ total loan balances that were delinquent.
 

Most Delinquent	Least Delinquent
1. Laredo, TX	91. Portland, OR
2. San Bernardino, CA	92. San Diego, CA
3. Detroit, MI	93. Madison, WI
4. Newark, NJ	94. Honolulu, HI
5. Philadelphia, PA	95. Boise, ID
6. Baltimore, MD	96. Fremont, CA
7. Stockton, CA	97. Boston, MA
8. Baton Rouge, LA	98. San Francisco, CA
9. Bakersfield, CA	99. Seattle, WA

For the full report and to see where your city ranks, please visit:
https://wallethub.com/edu/cities-where-people-are-most-delinquent-on-debt/134712/

 

“Being delinquent on debt can significantly damage a person’s credit score and make it more difficult to get a credit card, rent apartments, or buy cars and homes in the future. People who miss a loan payment should try to get current as quickly as possible. The good news is that for many types of debt, borrowers have at least 30 days before delinquency gets reported to the credit bureaus. That allows people a little leeway to get the funds together and avoid credit score damage, though the issuer will still likely charge a late fee.”
---
“Laredo, TX, has the biggest debt delinquency problem. About 16% of loans and lines of credit in Laredo are delinquent as of Q4 2024, and when all the dollar amounts are added together, residents are delinquent on around 22.4% of their overall debt.”
