Why Middle School is the Perfect time to Learn Study Skills
Is your tween prepared for the learning journey ahead?
The key to successful education lies in mastering effective study skills, and there's no better time to start than during middle school. It's never too late to learn, but those who grasp study skills early reap the most rewards.
Studies show that studying is synonymous with learning. Without study skills, students struggle to absorb and retain information effectively. This webinar dives deep into why middle school is the perfect stage for your child to learn the art of studying.
By equipping your child with study skills during middle school, you're giving them at least a year to personalize their learning approach before entering high school. Imagine the confidence they'll have on day one, armed not only with a new school building and classmates but also with the crucial ability to keep up with the fast-paced, challenging curriculum.
Don't let your child struggle through high school and beyond. Empower them with study skills now that will last a lifetime!

Effective Consequences
If you are doing everything right as a parent, you will have very little need for consequences.
No matter how hard you try, however, some kids just have to test boundaries in order to really learn limits for themselves. So, when reason and understanding don’t work—and the natural consequence is too grave for a parent not to step in—, it is time for a parent to come up with a logical consequence.
Effective consequences do not play the shame and blame game. They require the child to make amends and to use critical thinking for what is going to help them make a better choice next time. The best consequences are announced ahead of time, so let’s put our heads together and find the consequence that is going to work for your child.

Natural Consequences VS. Logical Consequences
Sometimes your tween is going to do things you don't like.
The consequence, or what happens right after your child's behavior, can make the behavior more or less likely to happen again.
Parents ask me about consequences all the time. Although we want to do everything we can to avoid the need for consequences, consequences do not have to have a negative association.
The goal of giving consequences is to teach a lesson that leads the child to make positive choices. If set up correctly, consequences can be learning experiences not cause for anger and resentment.
I'll show you the difference between natural consequences and logical consequences and when to use them both to help your tween learn and succeed.

Getting Your Kids to do chores cheerfully
There are many reasons to give kids chores. Kids like to feel needed and capable. Chores help with both. When parents set up chores as “In our family, we help each other,” kids see their work as being an important part of being a member of the family. Plus, kids like knowing they are able to do things on their own.
The BEST reason to set up a chore system in your family is that it frees up time for family fun, and parents are less stressed. I'll show you how to get your kids on board and ready to contribute to the household workload.
This webinar is best for parents who have kids aged 2-10.

Getting Your Little Kids to Listen
(for parents of kids ages 2-10)
It’s frustrating at best when your kids don’t listen to you and demoralizing at worst. When our kids are not giving us the cooperation we need, we think either that our kids are bad kids or (even more embarrassing) that we are bad parents.
