Engage Your Parents to Support the Growth of Healthy and Resilient Students
Parenting practices can directly influence the classroom and parent engagement can make a meaningful difference to your teachers.
Everyone's an Educator
Parents are first line educators for their children.
Nourishing this relationship benefits the student, teacher, and classroom.
Beyond Practice Makes Perfect
Children must engage with the concepts they are learning in various ways over a period of time. Some concepts must be explored multiple times before mastery is developed.
Research shows some activities are more rigorous (challenging) than others. Choosing the right type of activity for your child's current level of understanding is critical for success.
With the right mix of simple and rigorous activities, your child will engage readily, avoid frustration, and enjoy their learning process.
Learn about these different levels of activities and how to incorporate them into the daily environment. We will focus on how each level can be intentionally incorporated in a natural way every day.
Cognitive Development in Children
Cognitive Development is the process of growing our thinking skills from simple facts and figures through problem solving, opinion creation, and novel applications of concepts.
Creative problem solving, absorbing and explaining complex concepts, analyzing opinions and forming our own, and many other thinking tasks are critical for children to develop as they grow and mature into young adults.
Research shows a clear development path for cognitive development, from least complex (facts and figures) to most complex (evaluating and creating).
Lean how you can guide your kids through each cognitive task, how to navigate conversations with to help them grow, and specific questions and cognitive tasks that support cognitive development.
Avoiding Student Burnout
Children are exposed to high expectations and demanding curriculum throughout the school year. Without proper pacing and self-care, many students will experience burnout.
Learn how to recognize the signs of burnout and how to help your student pace their work, practice self-care, and navigate burnout if it happens.
Making Field Trips Memorable
There are so many wonderful activities to bring our kids to. From museums, to botanical gardens, to wildlife explorations, each trip can be an adventure with learning hidden inside!
Learn how to create an interactive experience from any field trip, turning your photo ops into experiences that could ignite the next innovator, historian, scientist, or artistic creator.
Managing Defiance
Many students will be learning how to express their opinion, identity, and personal power this year. Many times, they express their personal power through insubordination, resistance, and outright defiance.
Learn how to recognize triggers, avoid them, and handle defiant behavior when it appears.
The Power of Chores
Just as important as academics, learning how to contribute and support their household is a valuable skills children need. Chores teach them a variety of skills that are transferable to their academics too!
Learn how to delegate chores by age and create an accountability system that encourages everyone to participate. You'll also learn how the skills of each chore transfer to academic skills, too.
Why Are They So Moody?
Children are not born social creatures. It develops slowly over time and requires very specific skills when navigating social situations. Social skills can be taught and practiced.
As children navigate social structures, there will be times of frustration, embarrassment, hurt feelings, and difficult decisions to make. As adults, we must help children learn to manage these feelings and respond appropriately in various situations.
Learn how children develop these socio-emotional skills, how we as adults can support them, and what is within acceptable "normal" behaviors by age according to experts.
Developing Young Researchers
Fundamental research skills such as collecting information and sharing it with others can begin as early as 1st grade.
Learn what the research process looks like at different age/grade levels and how to create your own research projects at home.
