The question ”what do you want to be when you grow up?” is no longer serving young people. For too long, we’ve encouraged them to prepare for their future by choosing a job title. This approach is causing anxiety and not preparing them for a complex future. Parents and educators can change the world by helping young people look beyond job titles to find important challenges to solve. This new approach is called the challenge mindset, and it is igniting a sense of purpose in youth. Come discover the difference it can make to the young people in your lives. With Nicola Edwards, Advisor, SparkPath.

When a child and their family have a smooth transition to school, it creates a precedent for future successful transitions and therefore has a positive impact on educational success. This video by the Chantier montréalais Transition vers l’école discusses issues such as the factors that foster a successful transition to kindergarten.

This video was created to raise awareness among parents of young people who work while going to school about the importance of healthy school-work balance. Partners can invite parents in their network to watch the video and discuss it with their child.
