Every parent hopes this school year will be different: less stress, more confidence, better grades, and a little more independence. But by October, something shifts. One student seems to build momentum, while another falls into homework battles, missing assignments, and late nights that leave everyone exhausted.

It's tempting to chalk this up to motivation, but after 30 years of working with students, Ann Dolin has learned that motivation isn't where success begins. It's actually the result of a few specific, learnable skills, and once parents understand which ones their child is missing, solving problems becomes easier.

Join Ann Dolin, M.Ed., Founder and President of Educational Connections, on August 19 on your lunch hour at 12 PM ET for a free live virtual session where she'll share:

• Why the "motivation myth" has parents and kids stuck, and what actually comes first
• The hidden executive function skills schools expect but rarely teach, like planning, task initiation, and time management
• Simple, practical routines for common evening struggles, from not knowing where to start to studying ineffectively
