As a parent, I always worried that my kids would fall behind in school if I didn't take proactive steps and keep myself involved in things like homework, after school activities, and even in-school events such as science fairs. Not only did taking an active role in my children's education help them succeed academically, but they've all gone on to lead healthy social lives too. Throughout my children's school years I spent a lot of time reading, researching, and practicing new techniques and methods that would help each kid thrive and achieve their biggest goals in life. So, I've decided to share the information I've learned here on this blog in hopes that it helps you as much as it did me.
