Compass Community Services provides a comprehensive range of services to support families confronting homelessness and poverty to achieve stability and self-sufficiency. For families that are struggling, the winter holidays can be a difficult time. Every year we try to make them a bit brighter for the children and parents we serve through our Adopt-A-Family Project.

The school year is well underway, your children are settled in their classes and have learned quite a bit in the last month...so now's the time when most if not all kids are facing the reality of...TESTS!

Children can be nervous about tests and you can be equally nervous for them! You may want to take the test for them, of course that's not possible.

But there are some ways you can help your kids do the best they can on every test.

PROVIDE THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT:

Young Children Do Not Understand the Concept of Credit Cards
It’s the 21st century, and most of the kids living in the United States are constantly watching their parents put a cute little plastic card into an automated teller machine and seeing the machine instantly spit out a wad of cash. It’s like magic! A machine that gives money whenever anybody wants it!

Even the new remote control comes with a manual… Why not kids?!

Positive Parenting takes a lot of time and energy, but the payoff is truly satisfying and much less tiring than the alternative.

Children of any age can be guided to change their undesirable behaviors, show respect, and become enjoyable to spend time with. Do you want your child to be respectful, use nice manners, behave in an appropriate manner, and grow up to be a responsible member of society? If so, I can help you.
