C.), makes a case for what he calls the “Lighthouse parent”. In contrast to the“Helicopter parent” and the“Lawnmower parent” that we hear about more often, a “Lighthouse parent” aims to guide the way for their child while trusting them to navigate their own course.  \nLighthouse Parents Have More Confident Kids by Russel Shaw   \nAT A G LA NC E  \n1 ) U PCO M I NG PA R E NT E D UCAT IO NO P P O RT U N IT I E S  \n2 ) A CA S E F O R T H E L IG HT HO US EPA R E NT  \n3 ) EX EC UT IV E F U NCT IO N I NG T I PS  \n4 ) H IG H L IG HT E D L ESSO NS F RO M T H E  \nS O C IA L I NST IT UT E  \nPARENT-COUNSELOR BOOK CLUB  \nWhen: Thursday October 17th  \n@ 12:00 pm (in person- location on campus TBD) and 6:00 pm (Teams-Join the meeting now)  \nWhat: The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescent by Dr. Lisa Damour  \nWho: Parents of all grade levels are welcome to join!

These skills are crucial for success. This month, we would like to focus on time management strategies.  \nWe recommend that all students practice building strong time management habits by identifying strategies that work for them. Here are some steps you can support them in taking to begin doing so:  \n Students should take 10 minutes on Sunday evening to look the week ahead of them in Blackbaud ( upper schoolers may take the time to look 2 weeks ahead) .  \n Create a list of the tasks they have upcoming and estimate what time will be spent on each one (“Do I have tests I should work ahead for?”, “How many afternoons do I need to dedicate to this project?”,“What days do I have an e","cbCaigzf31Qb5Ndu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigzf31Qb5Ndu","pdf",1579259,"English","# Insight on Adolescent Development\n## Parent-Counselor Book Club\n## At a Glance\n## Highlighted Lessons from the Social Institute\n## Executive Functioning Tips - Time Management","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this monthly newsletter?\",\"answer\":\"It promotes collaboration between families and schools by sharing effective strategies that support students’ academic and emotional success.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the Lighthouse parent concept?\",\"answer\":\"A Lighthouse parent guides the way for their child while trusting them to navigate their own course, in contrast to helicopter and lawnmower styles.\"},{\"question\":\"How can families help students improve time management?\",\"answer\":\"Encourage students to review the week ahead, create a task list with time estimates, organize tasks in a planner, and revisit the plan each evening to adjust as needed.\"}]","Newsletter from the Directors & Counselors - October | PDF",1790102544]
