What You Will Learn

This training allows you to identify the first signs of school dropout and understand what is really going on in your child’s mind. You will discover how to establish a secure family framework that reduces conflicts around homework, and you will learn concrete techniques to give meaning to learning and strengthen motivation.

Through compassionate explanations and immediately applicable strategies, you will know how to communicate effectively with the school and when to seek external help.

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

• Identify the 4 early signs of dropout: decreased interest, slowdown in work, resistance to homework, somatization

• Reduce conflicts around homework: breaking tasks down, using a timer, alternating breaks/work, creating a calm environment
