Three things to use while you wait. The first one is for you, not your kid, and it is the one that changes how the next ninety days go.
About fifteen minutes total, in four parts. What your job is. What to say when they stall. The week they want to quit. When to actually step in.
Watch part one tonight if you only do one thing on this page.
Chapter one introduces Andre and Sophie. Neither has money, a rare talent, or one useful connection, which is the point.
Chapter two lays out the four ways a kid can start, and the workbook page after it asks yours to pick one. They do not have to be right. They just have to pick.
