Education Seminar – 培养自立自强的孩子 12/15


特邀演讲嘉宾: 著名作家、教育家珍妮沃克珍妮沃克・卡弗里博士

Time: Sunday 12/15 10:00AM – 11:00AM

Location: Cafeteria

作为父母,我们都希望孩子有上进心,对世界充满好奇,怀揣梦想、目标坚定、百折不挠,希望他们有美好的将来。但在现实社会中,越来越多的孩子不仅对学校的教 育没有兴趣,对很多现实生活的活动也提不起劲。他们终日沉迷于电脑游戏,深陷于虚拟世界,并因物质生活富裕、一切唾手可得变得愈加懒散、不求上进……, 作为父母,我们对此时常感到忧虑,感到痛苦,甚至绝望无助。父母子女俱乐部一直努力尝试着、探索着,希望能够在父母和孩子之间,筑起一座有效沟通的桥梁, 培养孩子自律、自立、自强的精神,帮助孩子走上一条使生活更快乐更有意义的道路。什么方法能让孩子激发学习兴趣,愿意为通向未来的成功之路而不懈努力呢?
成功者皆有自身的秘诀。这个星期天我们荣幸地邀请到著名作家、教育家珍妮沃克・卡弗里(Janine Walker Caffrey)博士,卡弗里博士在教育“如何激发孩子内在的潜能和动力”方面有丰富经验,她将就如何培养孩子自律、自立、自强的精神的话题,做一场生动活泼、别开生面的主题演讲, 就大家关心的问题分享她的经验,相信她的演讲将给您带来多层次的思考,有意义的启示及新颖的技巧。如果您是一位关心孩子成长的父母,如果您迫切想培养孩子内在的向上驱动力,就请参加星期天的讲座。

珍妮沃克・卡弗里博士将会探讨如下课题:

  1. 探路型父母,直升机型父母的另一种选择
  2. 提高孩子自我锻炼意识、营造赏识激励氛围, 以建立自信心
  3. 降低生活舒适度、培养孩子自我管理能力,以建立适应性和独立性
  4. 延迟满足和降低奖励,以建立耐心和良好的工作态度
  5. 利用孩子朋友圈的正面影响,以建立主动性

珍妮沃克・卡弗里女士简介:珍妮沃克・卡弗里博士曾任职任教各种公校私校及政府教育部门,还创建了自己的艺术学校,现任新州学区学监。她致力于帮助父母学会如何寓教于乐,教子有方,出版发表了《9种激励孩子上进的方法》 (Drive: 9 Ways to Motivate Your Kids to Achieve)一书。

======================================================

您想避免多数家长申请大学助学金及报税时的错误吗?
您想了解大学助学金及税务规划的最新动态和最新政策吗?

 长申请大学助学金最致命的错误!!!

•         认为只有低收入的家庭才能得到大学助学金, 是施舍

•         受到同事,朋友和其他专业人士的误导觉得自己W2收入,资产太多,而放弃申请!

•         仅抱着试一试的心态,不认真准备,就匆忙申请

•         认为是与低收入的家庭抢非常有限的大学助学,

•         认为需要将您的财产违法转移国外,

•         认为申请助学金,看的是你的W-2的收入,

•         认为交学费的钱已经准备好了,而放弃申请

为什么我家的收入很高,但没有存款?钱到哪里去了呢?

 

工程师最头痛的ATM如何解决?

出钱请会计师报税的结果如果与自己做的Turbo Tax结果一样,难道真的就没有办法少交税了吗?

就没有其他税务的“高人”可以指点了吗?

 

讲座的主题:

申请大学助学金 (Financial Aid) 最致命的错误是什么?
收入超过二十万的W2家庭,申请大学助学金与低收入的家庭的方法一样吗?
我的子女已在大学,申请了大学助学金,但只得到了一些或根本得不到,我们还有希望得到大学助学金吗?     
申請大學助學金五个步驟什么?      
稅務規劃的重要性
如何選大學獲最多資助?          
何時準備申領大學助學金  ?

讲座结束后
