Parents can't do it all. In fact, by high school, many parents are lucky if they can get a sentence or two across to their teen children without being seen as hopelessly outdated and receiving an eye roll. Thinking Outside the Classroom is an Executive Function coaching company that will share some of their tips with us on October 18 from 8-9 am. In their own words, "The 40 coaches in their company have the huge advantage of not being the parents of our clients, so even though our own kids might roll their eyes at us at times, other people's kids are willing to try our techniques. When they start getting results, we make sure that they know the tools are theirs now." The tools they will show us are ones that you can show your high school kids, and they will like most of them. The key is the word "show" … and to make sure that they don't think that the ideas came from you:) The focus will be on planning out long-term assignments (papers and projects) and on preparing effectively for school tests.
