A big hello from the Poconos! The weather here has been fabulous. We spent a serene afternoon by beautiful Lake Harmony this afternoon, and tomorrow we'll go whitewater rafting down Lehigh River. Can't wait!

I hope you're enjoying the last few days of summer with your family as well. Summer does go by sooooo fast! Before you know it, it will be back to school again. Well, at least that's the case in my neck of the woods. I know for other parts of the US and Europe, school has already begun.

If you feel a little under-prepared for a new school year, here's some help for you!

Joe Bruzzese, author and expert for the middle school years, is offering a FREE Back to School Teleseminar -- "Finding the Groove". Joe was a guest speaker for my Teleclass series a year ago, teaching parents how to plan a productive teen summer. This time, he is offering advice to help you and your child get ready for a great school year. Even if you are an experienced parent, you'll still benefit from his Teleseminar.

Here's the Teleseminar information:

Back to School Teleseminar - "Finding the Groove"

Join Joe Bruzzese, author and expert for the middle school years, for a free teleseminar on Thursday, August 28th from 11:30 am - 12:00 pm PST (2:30 - 3:00 pm EST). With many kids either starting school this week or in the week to follow, the list of "to-do" items can grow to an overwhelming number. The transition to middle school adds a new level of challenge to the back to school schedule. Finding the back to school groove doesn't need to take months. Avoid falling into the same routines that left both you and your child frustrated last year.

In the 30 minutes we share together you will learn:

1. Three ways to build responsibility and accountability into your child's year
2. Three ways to build a positive relationship with your child's teachers
3. Three ways to organize assignments and get homework done

In addition to the ideas above Joe will answer any questions you have about the back to school transition. Send your questions to joe@thinking-forward.com or ask them during the seminar.
