My daughter is 10 and math has been getting harder for her this year. She can usually do the homework, but only if I sit with her and explain half of it. If she has to do it alone, she gets stuck pretty quickly. Her teacher says she’s not seriously behind, but I’d rather help now than wait until she is.

I’ve started looking at math tutors online, mostly because driving somewhere several times a week isn’t realistic for us. I’m just not sure what actually works at this age. For parents who’ve tried online tutoring, did it help? And what did you look for when choosing a tutor?

I'm at my wits' end. My dog is constantly scratching and biting himself, mostly around his belly and hind legs. He’s already developed a couple of hot spots and keeps us awake at night with the sound of his licking.

Fleas have been completely ruled out by the vet. We tried changing his food to a limited-ingredient diet, but no changes after 3 weeks.

The vet suggested trying either Apoquel or a Cytopoint injection next. If your dog had severe itching like this, which one worked better for you? Or did you find a specific lifestyle change that fixed it? I hate seeing him so miserable.
