Give Your Child the Tools to Thrive in School from Preschool Through High School

Parenting doesn't come with a manual but helping your child succeed in school can.

In How to Do School, school psychologist Denise Mattingly, MA provides a practical, easy-to-follow guide that empowers parents to confidently support their child's academic, social, and emotional development at every stage of their education.

Drawing on years of experience working with students, teachers, and families, Mattingly explains what children need to know, when they need to know it, and how parents can build those skills at home through simple, engaging activities.

Whether you're preparing your child for preschool or navigating the challenges of high school, this comprehensive resource gives you the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions every step of the way.
