The Season Ahead: A grounding space for parents of ADHD students
Join us for a candid conversation on navigating a new school year.
Homework is where the stress of the school year tends to land. This is a chance to get ahead of it, in a room with other parents experiencing the same thing.
The evening
→ Refreshments and time to meet other parents
→ Insights and data from Opolo founder Carol Grant on setting your family up for homework success this year
→ Hear from mental health professionals on what these kids are actually managing at school, and how to help them settle before homework starts
→ Small group facilitated break out, where everyone answers one question before they leave. What is the one thing that will make homework time less stressful this year?
