In honor of Martin Luther King Jr., we at North State Parent Magazine wanted to share this message of encouragement with you.  Parenting is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.  Some days, you’ll find, are so much harder than others, but the important thing to remember is that you don’t have to fly or run or even walk, you only have to just not stop.

BE THE CHANGE - Yoshie Muratani will never forget the exact moment she truly fell in love with music.  As the daughter of an operatic singer in the Hyogo prefecture of Japan, Yoshie has been steeped in music since birth.  She listened to her mother sing, started playing cello when she was eight years old, and discovered the concept of harmony as she and her friends sang on their bus ride home from school.  But the magical moment happened as she played trombone during middle school summer music camp.

TALKING TO YOUR TEENS ABOUT GOALS - As we leave 2024 behind us and look forward with hope to a bright new year, we begin to set new year’s resolutions, or as they are called the rest of the year, goals. You may wish to help your teens set goals too. With some teens, his might be a simple, straightforward process. You can discuss with them what steps they might take to achieve what they want to this year. Then set goals with them and find ways to be supportive – especially when there are setbacks. A great technique to make sure goals and the steps to meet them are successful is to make them SMART goals (Specific-Measurable-Achievable-Relevant-Time-based).

But what happens if your teen becomes distraught and says “MOM! I don’t want to set goals!” and insist they are already worried about their grades and don’t need the pressure? If you are having difficulty coaxing your teen to sit with you at the table and complete a SMART goals worksheet or to help organize their goals and set them up for success, you may need to approach goal setting differently.

FARM SCHOOL: Reimagining Education for the Whole Child - by Stacey Leigh Mohr
What if your child could learn at their own pace, spend much of the day outdoors in nature getting plenty of exercise, synthesizing and integrating academic subjects through hands-on application that leads to a deeper understanding and a love of learning? More and more parents are exploring nontraditional approaches to teaching as the best way for their child to learn.

Nestled on a working farm near Ft. Jones in Siskiyou County, Farm School is just such a school - a truly unique, nontraditional learning center where children are physically active, learning outdoors as well as indoors. They participate in making healthy, nutritious scratch-cooked daily meals and learn through practical, real-world experiences in a combination of project-based learning, direct instruction, music and art.
