Home schooling and the uncertainty of 2020/21 have left families feeling anxious and perhaps a little overwhelmed.
Clinical psychologist and family therapist Andrew Fuller is holding a webinar which is applicable to every family and empowers parents to guide their children (and themselves) towards success.
Andrew’s webinar will help parents with practical tips on homeschooling and show them how to get their kids’ mojo back by finding their particular learning strengths and identifying 10 things highly successful students do to study. He will also help parents to deal with the after-effects of 20/21 with tips and information on how to overcome anxiety in children.
Andrew Fuller combines the latest research from brain science, positive education and resilience to create strength-based education.
There will be a presentation and then the opportunity for parents to ask questions directly.
