In Launch Your Kid, Jane Kristoffy, MEd, advises parents how to get their kids through school and prepare them for the real world. She empowers parents with simple strategies that can minimize their feelings such as overwhelm, worry, and helplessness. In her no-nonsense, down-to-earth discussion about how to promote kids' academic and personal skills at home, Jane shows parents they don't need to be an experienced teacher, social worker, or psychologist to help their kids thrive, and they can avoid being helicopter parents in the process! After many years as an educator, consultant, and parent, Jane's heard all the scoop about what keeps parents up at night. Launch Your Kid is her response to these conversations. Jane also knows first-hand how hard raising kids and teenagers can be, and she shares some of her successes and struggles as a single parent.
