The transition to high school is a milestone that brings excitement, new opportunities, and a fair share of challenges — not just for students but for parents too.
As your child navigates this pivotal phase, your support and understanding can make all the difference in fostering a positive high school experience.
To help parents ease this transition and equip them with the tools they need, several upcoming seminars are being offered, covering everything from managing academic expectations to fostering mental wellness.
In this post, I’ve rounded up a list of must-attend seminars designed to support parents or students during this important transition.
