Early Learners

Stories highlight areas in which parents can instill basic concepts and teach beginning problem solving, with a focus on activities that encourage skills development, knowledge, and ways of thinking and learning. Parent Today will also offer ideas for parents to encourage age-appropriate social development and work toward their children’s school readiness.

Elementary

During the elementary school years, children are acquiring tools that will aid them later in life. Parent Today will look at how parents can encourage communication skills, decipher learning styles, instill study skills and address stress management. Stories will also address issues kids face in school – both social and academic – and help parents continue to foster a love of learning.

Middle Years

Tweens and early teens face a whole new set of challenges in middle school. As they move toward increased independence, they still need their parents’ guidance and boundaries. Parent Today offers insight on helping children make the transition to middle school, dealing with sticky situations and understanding a child’s emotional development. By encouraging their children to try new endeavors and encouraging a positive attitude toward education, parents can help ease the trip through middle school.

High School

As students prepare for life beyond high school, they need to build skills to help them become self-sufficient. Parent Today stories will focus on areas in which parents can encourage responsibility and decision making, instill values and foster independence. We’ll also offer tips on how parents can — and why they should — stay involved as their children move through the teen years.
