These powerful teleclasses are for you if . . .
- You are terrified of the middle school and upcoming high school years because of all of the horror stories you have heard. (Yes, some of them are true!)
- You suspect you may not fully understand today's middle school world or how to help your child navigate through it. (It's not the same as it used to be!)
- You think parenting is hard work and you aren’t sure if it’s even possible to control pre-teens and teen-agers. (You want to be the best parent you can be!)
- You are tired of the same old parenting advice that never seems to work very well in the real world. (You want good information pertinent to middle school – concise and straight!)
You will learn from two experienced parents who are also professional coaches:
Part 1:
