What is the phone policy in session?

We ask participants to put their phones aside during session to minimize distraction. Parents will be provided Coaches contact information, as needed. 

What information do we need to provide about our child? 

Upon registration, the coaches will send out a brief questionnaire with information that will better prepare us to make this experience as beneficial as possible. We will also ask you to sign a standard waiver. 

How can I support my child during the course? 

Coaches are going to ask participants to complete daily tasks (simple practices not lasting longer than 10 minutes/day). We ask parents to not ask your child whether they have completed their daily tasks or to applaud them when they have. The tasks are intended to be independent in order to encourage each participant to autonomously achieve their goals and practice perseverance.
