This is an audio (MP3) recording of a live workshop. There are 3 tracks for a total of 83 minutes and a .PDF of the handout mentioned in the workshop.

Also included is 11 ways to successfully motivate your child to do home work. I also show you a new way to respond when your child brings home their report card.

This is a great workshop if you are looking for solutions to any of the following questions...

• Are you having homework struggles every day?
• Are you worried about your child’s study habits?
• Do you want your child to take responsibility for his school work so you don’t have to?
• What about that report card?
