What parents are saying "When my son's teacher and counselor recommended that he repeat the third grade, I agreed, but I knew it would crush his spirit. He was already struggling with feeling he wasn't as smart as other kids. I was so grateful when his teacher and counselor handed me Better Days, and we were only on the third activity when he suddenly announced that he could be the teacher's assistant. It's now about halfway through the school year, and the lessons he was struggling with so hard last year have started coming together for him in a way that he truly understands now." "My daughter is ten years old and was sick a lot last year. We finally got the right diagnosis and she's on her way to being completely healthy. But because she missed so many days of school and her illness made it difficult for her to concentrate, we felt it would be better for her to repeat the fifth grade. I'll never forget the look on her face when we told her. She said it was worse than going to a new school. We spent the summer working in the Better Days workbook, and she realizes how behind she would have been if she'd gone on in to the sixth grade. Now she sees that she just needed to 'practice' the fifth grade is doing great. Thank you for helping her spirit to come back after her health did." "I've been a fourth-grade teacher for thirty years and over the years have had the difficult time of recommending several students repeat. I've never regretted a recommendation but it's hard to see the look of defeat in many of the kids' eyes. I am so glad this workbook finally came along. I feel like I have something to give parents to help them and their kids feel more confident in the decision."
