WELL-BALANCED STUDENT PRESENTATION
Thursday, October 11th
6:30-8:00 pm
Walton High School Theater
A presentation for parents of K-12 students

When we are too focused on grades and performance, we deny our children the time and energy they need to tackle the demanding work of growing up. In this presentation, you'll learn how you can establish a healthier home environment for your child, reduce academic stress without sacrificing achievement, and increase your child's resilience, creativity, and well-being. It's only in partnership with you , the parents, that we can achieve our mission at Challenge Success.
