When School Gets Hard: Supporting a Child without Losing Yourself
October 16, 2026
Brightmont Academy Speaker Series
When your child is struggling in school, it's natural to jump in. You check grades at midnight, email teachers, and push through homework battles that end in tears. Before long, school is all you talk about, and you're running on empty.
In this upcoming webinar, Francine Le of Newport Academy helps parents find a better balance. On November 10th at 12 PM CT, she'll share how to support your child without taking over, how to set boundaries that ease tension at home, and how to partner with your child's school when more help is needed.
Key takeaways:
- Differentiate between supportive educational guidance versus parental over-functioning.
- Establish healthy boundaries around school communication that restore the parent-child relationship and support their academic goals.
- Learn about managing the emotional climate of learning environments with your child.
- Know when to advocate and how to effectively create a sustainable support plan with your child’s school and care team.
