Help Your Children With Outside Expert Guidance
By Daryl CapuanoGeneral Education AdviceEvery generation looks with dismay at the next one. I’ve made it a point not to fall into the same trap. I am often the great defender of the young.
But now the facts seem undeniable: young people are in crisis.
They are not as happy and not as successful.
The reasons are multifaceted, although a lot of research points directly to “the phone.” The phone, of course, is simply the device that connects students to every app that creates unhealthy diversions. Whether it is correlation or causation, young people are not doing well.
Even if you are a great parent, your children are being influenced beyond your control.
Normal forces that create previously created natural and reasonably healthy assertions of independence will pull your child away from your influence.
At some point, the distractions become so much that they stop developing themselves in healthy ways. Given that school is the most structured way that students can build themselves, we often come in for guidance, tutoring, and “soft” counseling.
Our Student Mastery Program – designed to elevate students holistically -; our Academic Therapy Program – for those who could also benefit from more direct psychological shifting; and our college counseling programs, which inevitably lead to some life coaching all have helped our young clients through the years.
In recent years, this help has been even more dramatic.
