"Anytime parents notice a sudden change in their child's attitude or behavior, I recommend finding a safe place and time to talk."

"The good news is, parents can talk to their children about domestic violence even before it becomes a concern. That's because kids pick up cues about what is, and isn't, appropriate in relationships long before they're ready to date."

"According to the National School Boards Association, rates of homelessness among K-12 students has more than doubled since 2008, with almost 1.4 million students identified as homeless in 2018-2019. Data on homelessness during the pandemic showed a seeming decline at first glance."

"But experts say those lower numbers may not be accurate. As schools were closed for virtual learning, many districts may have under-identified school-aged children who were living without permanent housing."

"The very nature of homelessness is hidden. There's fear, and stigma, a lot of shame that goes with it, so it's not a population that readily comes forth."
