February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

10 Questions to Ask at Your Next Parent Teacher Conference


The Corporate Sister is dishing out 10 questions to ask during your next parent teacher conference that can help you get the most out of your meeting.

As a working parent, you may have already attended many parent teacher conferences. These are the usual meetings between parents and teachers, during which your child’s performance and needs are discussed. As a matter of fact, parental involvement is deemed to be a strong predictor of student academic success.

This is a great opportunity for both parents and teachers to meet each other, connect and determine how the students are doing as well as the best ways to help them excel. In order to make the best of this opportunity, here are 10 questions you should ask at your next parent teacher conference:

1. How is my child doing academically and socially?

It’s important to get an honest and clear assessment of your child’s performance by the teacher. This will help you clarify any concerns you may have, and understand where your child stands academically and socially.

2. What do you consider to be his/her strengths?

Your child’s teacher spends a considerable amount of time with him/her. As such, they may be in the best position to assess their academic strengths. You should rely on their assessment to understand and help your child as best as you can.

3. What do you think are my child’s academic challenges?

Just as you may want to know about your child’s strengths, you may also get a solid understanding of the academic and social challenges they may face. This will also help put you in a better position to help him/her.

4. Is my child on grade level for math, reading, science, and writing?

Your child’s teacher should be able to honestly assess where your child stands, as compared to their grade level requirements. This will allow you to also determine whether extra help is needed to help your child reach the required level in their grade.

5. How will my child be prepared for standardized tests?

One of the biggest concerns of parents is whether or not their children are prepared for standardized tests. Many of these tests determine the types of colleges, financial aid or scholarship that students are eligible for.

6. What is your policy as related to homework?

Homework is an important part of your child’s academic success. Understanding the homework policy and what is expected in this regard can make a difference in how well the student performs academically.

7. What can I do at home to help support my child?

Parents play a crucial role in their children’s academic success. Knowing how best you can affect your child’s academic career at home can help him/her reach their milestones easier and faster.

8. If my child were struggling in his/her studies, how would you be able to help?

It’s one thing to assist students when they’re doing well. However, being able to offer extra support when they’re struggling can go a long way towards equipping them for long-term academic success. Asking this question will not only give you peace of mind, but also help you gain more trust in the teacher.

9. What’s in place to help my child strive socially?

Social growth is also a determining part of your child’s ultimate success. As such, you may want to inquire about systems in place to help students develop socially as well.

10.  What’s the best way to communicate with you? (email, phone, texts, notes, etc

Keeping in touch with your child’s teacher is necessary to stay abreast of his/her progress, and also participate in the academic process. Inquire about the best ways to keep the communication lines open with the school and teacher.
