AS HEARD ON THE SHOW 4 Ways To Help Your Kids Do Well In School: How your kids do in school influences their self-esteem, their future job prospects, and their financial success. So with that in mind, here are four ways YOU can help your kids do better in school ...

#1.) MAKE SURE THEY GET ENOUGH SLEEP. A recent study showed that missing just one hour of sleep a night can lower a child's cognitive ability by almost TWO YEARS. In other words, a NINTH-grader who gets six hours of sleep instead of seven will only perform at a SEVENTH-grade level the next day.

So when they go to bed, make sure that they actually GO TO SLEEP, and that they're not playing games on the computer or watching TV. 62% of kids admit to using their cell phones in bed, and their parents have no idea.

#2.) DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT GRADES. Researchers at Columbia University found that it's better to concentrate on how HARD your kids are working, NOT how high their grades are. The study showed that if you praise kids for how much they study, they're more likely to grow up thinking anything's possible if they just try hard enough.

#3.) RESPECT THEIR LEARNING STYLE. Just because YOU studied in complete silence doesn't mean your kids have to. Children learn in different ways. So if they want to listen to their radio and do their homework in bed, let them. But when they're using their computer, just make sure they REALLY ARE studying, not talking to their friends online.

#4.) HAVE DINNER TOGETHER. According to a recent study, kids get better grades if they sit down for dinner with their family on a regular basis. And as and added bonus, they're also less likely to abuse drugs or develop an eating disorder.

TERRI HATCHER INSPIRES TRICIA: You know how we told you about 45 year old TERRI HATCHER being fed up with folks who think she's had work done, so she posted pics of herself au naturel on Facebook ...

MEL vs. BALE THE MASHUP: Some Evil Genius took MEL GIBSON'S obscenity-filled rants and mashed it up with CHRISTIAN BALE'S 2009 obscenity-filled rant, and put it up on the 'net for all to enjoy.
