Understanding Your Child

This is a series of two-page letters written by Susan Quattrociocchi, Ph.D., author of Living, Learning, & Earning in America. In them, she helps parents better understand their child at a specific grade level. Topics include characteristics of young people by age, how families can help them thrive, and what educational and/or career decisions need to be made and when.

The letters were funded by the Workforce Board and are available free to school districts and other interested
parties to use on websites or in school mailings.
