THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF AMERICA --- TOOLS FOR BACK TO SCHOOL



This is a new addition to our homeschooling journey. My 5 year old son is now homeschooling and then I am homeschooling my 7 year old. Two kids to homeschool now and then I do Montessori activities with my 2 little ones. Starting a new year can get a bit crazy and hectic. The Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA) offers some fantastic information for parents and students to make life alot easier!


Information that is encouraging I found as a parent such as setting goals with my children. A friendly reminder to encourage them and give them praise. Sometimes us parents forget to do that and instead of focusing on what they are struggling with we need to encourage them and be their "cheerleader".
 
Other tips such as:
~ Time Management Tips
~ Think Colleges
~ PowerHour Hints For Parents
~ Helping Children Set Goals
~ Be Ready Parent Tips

The Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA) and Disney have partnered to launch the Tools for Back to School initiative. This initiative features a pop-quiz style game, where supplies are donated to BGCA for every correct answer you score. I actually played this pop-quiz and enjoyed myself, it was very educational and I learned alot!

 
 
The Boys and Girls Club of America has also teamed up with JcPenny as well. This August join JCP cares. Join and then every purchase you make, Jcpenny will round up your total purchase at the register to benefit The Boys and Girls Club of America! What a fantastic way to help out! These donations will help children and impact many lives!
The Boys and Girls Club of America offers so many wonderful resources to parents and children. They are asafe place for children to learn and grow – all while having fun giving children a since of belonging.
 
Follow The Boys and Girls Club on Facebook and/or Twitter so that you do not miss any of the great information they offer! 

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Boys and Girls Club. I received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

  1. Boys and Girls Clubs help a lot of kids. It is a wonderful organization, and I am glad that, they are continuing to help. I took their quiz to help kids.
