HOW TO TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT ANYTHING
Raising a child is the most gratifying job--and one of the toughest--in part,
because times have changed. In an increasingly complex world with daily
challenges, there are many disturbing issues that children don’t understand and
adults find difficult to explain. Learn how to speak to kids about tough issues.
HELPING YOUR CHILD SUCCEED IN SCHOOL
Children face daily challenges and school is one of the most difficult. Some kids
cannot learn by traditional teaching methods and need to enroll in assistance
programs, or receive supplemental services through the school and district. It is
important you know the rights of the youth in your care and learn how to advocate
on their behalf.
HOMEWORK BATTLE
Parents frequently find themselves in the role of “bad guy” when it comes to
completing homework. Learn how parents can maintain their sanity while
constructively assisting and encouraging their children to complete their
homework assignments. Learn how homework can be fun without added stress.
