About This Workshop

As the new school year begins, it’s natural to want to give our kids every advantage. But constant hovering—whether it’s checking homework, reminding them of every assignment, or shielding them from failure—can actually hold them back.

Join author and educator Amy Alamar Ed.D for a powerful, research-based workshop that will help you step back in order to set your child up for success. Learn how to foster your child’s independence, resilience, and academic responsibility, and why letting them stumble occasionally can be one of the best gifts you give.

Benefits for your child: stronger problem-solving skills, greater confidence, improved academic ownership

Benefits for you: less stress, more trust, and a healthier, more collaborative relationship

Take a deep breath, let go a little, and watch your child rise.

After this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Identify why micromanaging can undermine your child’s growth—and your peace of mind
  • Coach your child to own their schoolwork and face challenges with confidence
  • Support responsible decision-making without taking over
  • Stay connected and supportive without rescuing or controlling
  • Recognize red flags such as persistent homework struggles or executive function issues—and what to do if your child needs extra support
