SUMMARY:How Family Engagement Supports Kindergarten Readiness & Early School Success
DESCRIPTION:Family engagement is a critical driver in ensuring that all children enter kindergarten “ready to learn” and experience early school success. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics\, kindergarten readiness can impact how successful a child is in high school and beyond\, leading to better grades and lower dropout rates\, as well as better health and lifestyle habits. Children who enter school with key readiness skills have an 82 percent chance of mastering basic skills by age 11\, compared with 45 percent for young children who are not “kindergarten ready.” Yet\, many children nationwide are still unable to reach this pivotal benchmark. \nJoin the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) at this webinar to hear from education leaders and practitioners who will share the latest research and on-the-ground lessons for how family engagement has improved kindergarten readiness and early school success in their states\, districts\, and communities. \nModerated by Yolie Flores\, President and CEO of Families In Schools\, this panel conversation will explore: \n\nWhy engaging families early matters for children’s long-term success\nHow innovative technologies can be leveraged to support families\nThe role that curriculum\, professional development\, and supplemental resources play in family engagement\n\nSession Details\nTuesday\, June 27 | 1 – 2:30 p.m. \nVirtual \nRegister \nLearn More\nThis webinar is the fifth in a series of conversations designed to boost family engagement practices between school and home.

SUMMARY:Who’s Stealing My Child’s Sleep? Parenting Strategies For Bedtime And Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Multiple factors have been linked to the worsening sleep habits of young people\, including social media\, general smartphone use\, early school start times\, academic stressors\, and a rise in anxiety symptoms. Parents of children three to 12 put in the equivalent of 18 workdays a year just trying to get their children to bed\, and 77% of parents are left exhausted by these efforts. The struggle is worse during summer holidays when schedules are out the window. \nIn this webinar\, Child Mind Institute and Fort Health tackle sleep; how much is needed for each age group\, why aren’t children getting enough of it\, and how parents can help their children go to sleep and stay asleep. \nWhen: Thursday\, 6/29 | 5:30 p.m. \nRegister \nThe session will be a roundtable discussion between leading sleep and mental health experts followed by a live Q&A. The session will be recorded and links will be sent to anyone who registers. \nPresented by Fort Health\, a mental health provider for ages four to 19\, which was built in partnership with the Child Mind Institute.
