We are not doing this generation any favors by coddling our children. There are far more than just these, but here are some of my favorite skills to teach yours kids.

What is a skill you wished your parents taught you before entering the "real world"?

[Meredith Essalat - The Overly Honest Teacher @OverlyHonest_]

The shift from elementary to middle school is a big one. These are just a few of the important skills your student will need to develop to have successful study habits 😎

That summer break life 💃 😴

[Meredith Essalat - The Overly Honest Teacher @OverlyHonest_]

When the school year ends and summer vacation begins, it can feel like our lives have come to a screeching halt. News flash! We deserve this downtime. Take this time to do things you don't have the time to do during the school year.
