The "Successful" Child: NW's second event with NPN!

Amanda Vogel recently joined up with the Neighborhood Parents Network to give a free talk to parents: Establishing Homework  Habits in Young Learners. She spoke about how to set up routines for academic success, how to foster indpendence, and how to strike a balance between being supportive and "over-helping." It was a very successful event, and a wonderful time was had by all!

Bernadette Pawlik, of NPN, put many of Amanda's techniques into practice. Read what she has to say a month later:
I can't truthfully say that homework is our son's favorite activity---but it has ceased to be his least favorite. In addition to reinforcing his academic skills, my sense is he is developing life skills he can use whatever the work might be throughout his life. 
Our next event with NPN is right around the corner: The "Successful" Child: Developing Persistence and Independence, coming up on Oct. 22nd.

RSVP with NPN at the link above - we would love to see you there!
