The Well-Balanced Student: Avoiding Stress & Overscheduling during the Pandemic and Beyond

Wednesday, February 24 at 8pm | Cost: $10 | Location: Online
Hosted by: Challenge Success

When we are too focused on grades and performance, we deny our children the time and energy they need to tackle the demanding work of growing up. In this presentation, you’ll learn how you can establish a healthier home environment for your school-aged child, reduce academic stress without sacrificing achievement, and increase your child’s resilience, creativity, and well-being. Participants will examine the tension that parents, students, and teachers often experience during remote and in-person learning over issues such as homework, grades, and the culture of competition.
