PARENT / CHILD PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOP
2-SESSION WORKSHOP for Parents and 4th – 7th Graders
2 SATURDAYS APRIL 18 AND APRIL 25 │ 11AM – 12:30PM
Join our fun, online, parent/child workshop to practice and improve your public speaking skills together!
During both sessions, the parent and child “team” will:
- Learn where and how you can use “public speaking” (clue: it is everywhere!).
- Discover simple tricks that will make you a better public speaker.
- Review how to structure ANY type of “speech”, whether in public, school, or just with friends!
- Practice your new skills together through fun games and activities.
Families will receive videos of their speeches after each session.
SESSION 1- PREPARED SPEECHES: This workshop will focus on how to effectively structure prepared speeches, whether it be in the classroom, work meeting, or when making a speech at a wedding!
SESSION 2- IMPROMPTU SPEECHES: This workshop will focus on how to instantly structure impromptu speeches ‘on the fly’ as well as how to effectively present them. Impromptu speaking is one of the hardest skill sets and one at which leaders (and future leaders!) must excel. It is also an extremely useful skill for daily life or in social situations.
COST: $150 PER “PAIR”. Each pair includes one parent/grandparent/guardian and one child (from grades 4-7). Each additional family member is $25. Max of 4 per family.

In this workshop, we will (re)learn what a Growth Mindset is, and why it matters, especially focusing on what we can do when we get frustrated. We will look at when we get “stuck”, how we react, and what words and approaches we can use to help “push through” that frustration. We will also introduce some new strategies for chunking work and reading, and will provide each student structures to ensure that there is adequate time to get homework done.

Using Growth Mindset Strategies for Writing! – April 25th from 1:30 – 3pm
No matter how much we want to maintain a Growth Mindset, writing can be tough! Whether it’s getting started, knowing what to write about, figuring out where to take a story, or being open to editing our own work, writing can put anyone on the brink of giving up. During this Growth Strategies workshop, we will explore different types of writing, practice ideas to get started when you are stuck and learn how to look at editing in a more positive light.

“The Power of Meditation for Less Stress (at School and Home!)”
Sat. April 13th | 1:30pm – 3PM | FREE
A Family Workshop Featuring:
- Dr. Bill Stixrud, Clinical Neuropsychologist, Author and Founder of The Stixrud Group
- Dr. Jamie Grant, Director, Stress-Free Schools
The drive to get good grades, get into a great college and ramp up our resumes, makes teenagers the most stressed group of people in America(1). Meditation has been proven to help by reducing stress and anxiety, improving attention and memory, and even promoting self-regulation and empathy.
In this workshop we will cover:
- Why it matters to meditate
- How meditation fits into overall wellness
- Common objections about meditation (and how to overcome them)
- How Transcendental Meditation, a specific type of meditation, can be particularly helpful
Attendees will also learn several breathing techniques that can be used both to reduce stress in the moment and to help improve sleep.
FREE COLLEGE TRANSITION WORKSHOP:
“How to ROCK COLLEGE (ARE YOU READY?)”
APRIL 27, 2019 1:00PM – 2:30PM
College is different than high school. In college, students, independent of parental involvement, will have to wake themselves up on time, make and manage their own appointments, balance social and academic requirements and seek out help when needed.
As with any transition, the students who are best prepared, know what lies ahead and plan for how they will manage the change. During our free workshop, seniors will learn:
- How ready am I for college? (via a college readiness survey)
- What are the differences between high school and college?
- What are the hard decisions I am going to have to make and how will I make them?
- How will I deal with the stress?
Going to college is a huge transition for anyone, but taking the time to prepare will decrease stress and help students feel more confident in their freshman year success.
