Get Back-to-School Organized! teleseminar & Kid's nutrition...

Do you find it very stressful getting kids back in the Back to School routine? Earlier bedtimes (but I'm not tired!), doing homework, rushing through tasks, etc?


Kathleen Cuneo, Ph.D of Kitchen Table Parents will be hosting a online seminar with Laura Reynolds, an attention and ADHD Coach who will be providing helpful information for all parents about setting up organization systems for student and family success. We will be discussing how to handle all that back-to-school paperwork, how to manage a busy family calendar, and how to help kids study. Plus I'm sure we'll be talking at least a little about how to organize and plan for family meals!
