How to help your child, high school, and you stay connected.
Assumption: Your High School child(ren) receive daily email from school and other sources.
Email will eventually become obsolete in it’s current form, but until then, maximize your child’s effective and efficient use of this mainstream communication tool.
Set up structure and process, like any world-class business does, to deliver great results without taxing time, resources, and energy.
We review our 11th-grader’s emails before dinner and use four categories to help us manage school-life’s buckets:
Progress reports from teachers and staff emails
Calendar and event scheduling emails
Emails requiring a decision
Emails that inform, inspire, and educate
We started with this and know it may change and or morph.

Speed helps medicate us and distract us from reality.
Beauty isn’t seen in a rush.
Clarity isn’t revealed in a hurry.
Change isn’t lasting as we constantly sprint.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Yet we often need to push the pedal to the metal to get “everything” done.
Maybe we aren’t proficient at shedding certain things we do – things that others could, should, and need to be doing?
And finally, what are we doing that doesn’t need to be done at all?
To delegate (hire others) things we used to do ourselves – yardwork, auto maintenance, basic home repairs, etc.
To stop doing things we’ve always done – mindlessly watching TV late in the evening, hitting the snooze button, buying (and collecting) books we’ll never read, etc.
