    Do you still have students who:

    • Lack motivation?
    • Don’t pay attention or do their assignments?
    • Are NOT on their BEST classroom behavior?

    You could be dealing with “Screenager Syndrome.”

    It’s true and today’s students spend hours in front of some kind of computer, TV, movie screen. In many ways it’s a good thing, but it also causes learning problems because their minds are being trained to move at TECHNO SPEED. Then we put a piece of paper in front of them and say, LEARN. What can you do? Fortunately, my Success Mastery Program can help. My clients come to me for help with:

    • Getting their students to learn faster and easier
    • Powerful motivation strategies

    Why Do I Have to Make My Bed? OR, A HISTORY OF MESSY ROOMS
    Written by Wade Bradford, homeschool dad

    Since ancient times, one question has endured in the hearts and minds of children: Why do I have to make my bed if it’s just going to get messed up again? Now, Wade Bradford takes readers on a trip through time for a humorous look at how bed-making has evolved throughout history.  Using examples of household tasks that might have been performed in colonial America, in ancient Egypt, by Vikings, and so on, this clever examination of chore lore eventually reveals the answer to this age-old question. (Hint: Mothers throughout history have always had a ready response.) This book makes history so much fun, kids won’t even realize they’re learning.
