Free webinar presented by Flora Sanchez, Senior Trainer/Consultant to Search Institute and Vision Training Associates, on Wednesday, August 8, 2012 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM, CDT

Family involvement in school is crucial to our children's success, but for many busy parents, making time to support academic success can be a challenge. It can be easy to assume that your child's education is the sole responsibility of schools, but remember that education is most effective when families and schools work together. By practicing a few simple steps for preparing your kids for school, and doing what you can to encourage learning outside of school, you’ll be helping your child succeed in school - and in life!

In this webinar you will…

• Get tips to help you and your child prepare for and transition into the school year - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
• Find out ways to engage in your child’s academic life early-on and support your child’s academic success throughout the school year.
• Get organization and time-management resources to help you and your child settle into a constructive school routine.
• Discover ways to minimize your child's stress, anxiety and school problems and maintain classroom engagement.
• Walk away with tips for enhancing your own relationship with your child as well as learn how to expand your child's academic support system to include grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings, and other caring adults.
