Break-Through: The Struggling Parent's Guide to Students' Success

The Struggling Parent's Guide to Students' Success provides strategies for struggling parents and guardians to actively help their children be more academically successful and to help address questions like the ones following:

• Does your child have a history of failure in school?
• Do teachers call you for negative reports often?
• Do you feel you have done all you could and are still hopeless?
• Are you continually disappointed with your child's progress reports?
• Would you like your child to excel in school?
• Do you secretly envy or admire the performance of other children more than your child's?

Student success is not just for some. Every student is capable of success with the right guidance and parental support. This Break-Through resource package is based on tried and tested motivational strategies designed to encourage struggling parents to recreate or birth dreams they are excited about for their children; to capture a vision and pursue their goals for their children's academic success.

The guide encourages parents to acknowledge, believe, and embrace their roles as a supportive system in the process of their children's learning and success. Although many programs and organizations exist to support youth endeavors, few of these programs offer practical solutions to help struggling parents support their children's academic goals and vision by bridging the gap between home and school. This Guide offers parents and guardians avenues to work with the educational system to bridge the gap to success.
