Author Nadine Levitt On The 5 Things Parents Can Do To Help Their Children Thrive and Excel In School

Celebrate wins loudly! There is a quote I love from Dr. Barry Morguelan, that “the energy flows where the focus goes”.

But if we celebrate the wins loudly we encourage more of those positive behaviors.

School is really not easy these days. Many students have been out of school for a long time because of the pandemic, and the continued disruptions and anxieties are still breaking the flow of normal learning. What can parents do to help their children thrive and excel in school, particularly during these challenging and anxiety-provoking times?

To address this, we started a new series called ‘5 Things Parents Can Do To Help Their Children Thrive and Excel In School.” In this interview series, we are talking to teachers, principals, education experts, and successful parents to learn from their insights and experience.
