Description

Description

Find your best voice to inspire your child to reach their aspirations.

With no single or right formula to teach, reassure, or help a child, no precise age gauge for first experiences, and blurry lines between clear, obvious, and gut decisions, how can a parent know what is best or right in the course of their child’s education?

Parent Voice applies thought, experience, and a developmental model for parents to follow that allows for differences in personalities, dispositions, and supporting players.

Real musings give real-life examples of parents positively influencing their child’s education
Reflection questions encourage engagement and application
Action items offer guides for each stage of a child’s development

Be the guide and advocate your child needs by finding your best parent voice.

"Parent Voice describes how to handle difficult situations with the “Listen, Learn, Lead” structure, and also offers solutions to prevent them in the first place. This book teaches parents how to use their voices in effective ways and how to give their children voice."
Karen L. Tichy, Ed.D., Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership
