School-Age Edition - Capable and Confident Kids Grown Here
Being the parent (or teacher) of a school-age child brings a lot of fun and excitement but also a measure of exasperation:
“Why do even simple things have to be so hard?”
“Why are even clever kids so clueless?”
Get some answers, support and fresh perspective in this series of 10 monthly webinars from Dr. Patricia Nan Anderson. Each 30-to-45 minute webinar presents lively content including your questions and comments. Each webinar includes a tip sheet that summarizes the session’s main points, useful for future reference and for sharing with the child’s other parent. And each webinar is recorded for free download, handy if you miss a session or need to listen again or want to share the webinar with a friend.
Learn tricks to developing your child’s self-discipline and maturity and make this school year a happy and successful one for your entire family.
Each webinar FREE. The schedule looks like this:
