The first “Parents as Partners Webinar Series” presentation kicks off on Thursday, Oct. 5 from 6:30pm-7:30pm with “Skills for a Successful School Year: Organize, Prioritize and Manage Time.” This is a virtual series that requires registration and allows you to access the link for 30 days.
Does your child or teen:
- Struggle to meet deadlines and be on time?
- Constantly leave a trail of food every time he has a snack?
- Drop clothing on the floor as soon as she takes it off?
- Leave papers strewn everywhere with no systems for keeping track of them?
When these organizational skills are not developed to an age-appropriate level, being successful in school becomes a real challenge. Research indicates that these executive skills are the most important skills to have in order to succeed in school.
Presented by Jennifer Bashant, Ph.D, LMSW, MA, founder of Building Better Futures, the workshop will teach you strategies to help your child get organized and stay organized. You will leave with tools you can use at home with your child to help you teach and practice organization skills.
“This is a great opportunity for our families to gain information on a variety of topics from presenters who have a wealth of knowledge and experience,” said Director of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support Raychel Marcil. “One of the best parts of the series is that the webinars are recorded, so if you can’t watch them live, you can choose a time that is convenient for you.”
