Testimonial

"We are very pleased to provide you with feedback regarding the "Homework Grid." We have found it provides structure and consistency to what is normally a homework nightmare. It is easy for Jacob to follow and provides clarity to your expectations. We especially love the housework component and the balance of school work with family life. He makes sure that he completes the physical activities and the "quiet time", but I think this helps him to commit to the other requirements.
Thanking you"

Book

Living With A Willy
by Nick Fisher.  

A great book to open the lines of communication regarding a subject that most fathers/ parents find uncomfortable ...

Food for Thought

I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there,
The clay they used was a young child's mind
And they fashioned it with care.

One was a teacher; the tools being used
Were books and music and art,
One a parent with a guiding hand
And a gentle, loving heart.

Day after day the teacher toiled
With touch that was deft and sure,
While the parent laboured just as hard
And polished and smoothed it o'er.

When at last their task was done
They were proud of what they had wrought,
For the things they had moulded into the child
Could neither be sold nor bought.

And both agreed they would have failed
If they had worked alone;
For behind the parent stood the school
And behind the teacher, the home.
