During this time of hybrid learning, our kids can run the gamut from being completely engaged and motivated in their school work to being disengaged, sleeping in and refusing to show up for school. As parents we can find ourselves in power struggles with our adolescents or worried about their social-emotional health.

What is a parent’s role? What expectations are we to have of our children in this new school environment, and are they reasonable expectations? What role should our children play in creating their own learning experience?
​
In this interactive 1.5-hour Zoom workshop, we will discuss challenges you and your child are facing with hybrid learning. We will give you practical tools and actionable strategies to help your child discover how learning works best for them. Topics to be discussed may include:

• A parent’s role during hybrid learning 
• Helping middle school students take ownership of their at-home learning
• Motivation
• Stress management
• Executive function and the adolescent brain 
• Setting boundaries 
• Screen use
• Power struggles
