Start the School Year with Confidence 🌟
|
Hi friends, As summer winds down, it's time to think about the new school year. Is your child feeling confident and ready? One of the best ways to help children feel confident is to teach them how to handle everyday social situations. When young people know how to introduce themselves, start and join conversations, show respect, and use good table manners, they're more comfortable- and that means they are confident and prepared. That's why I'm excited to offer Everyday Etiquette: Back to School Edition These small-group classes are held in my home on Lookout Mountain for students entering 2nd through 5th grade. With just six students in each class, every child has the opportunity to participate, practice, and build confidence. Students will learn practical skills they'll use every day, including:
Over the past 14 years, I've had the privilege of teaching more than 3,000 young people. One thing I've learned is this: Confidence grows when children know what to do. Enrollment is still open for these sessions: 📅 Tuesday, July 28 📅 Thursday, July 30 Learn more and reserve your child's spot here: www.dawnjumper.com/mtn-dining-2-5 If you know a family with children entering 2nd–5th grade, will you please forward this email to them? I truly appreciate your help! I look forward to welcoming a wonderful group of students into my home next week! Please reach out with any questions you may have. All my best, PS) Have a high school student? 🍽️We have a couple open spots in our Etiquette Dinner next week. |

What made them special? How did they show up for someone else?" No formal lessons needed.Just an evening together, a movie,...
Good morning!Here's a Saturday edition of Friday Five- because sometimes life has other plans! Last week, we kicked off our friendship series with five foundational skills for being a good friend. This week, we’re tackling one of the harder parts of friendship: feeling left out. As a parent, it can be especially hard to watch our kids experience this. But feeling left out is something everyone experiences at times—even us adults. So let’s look at how we can help our kids handle those hard...
Happy Friday! I’m so excited for next week because I get to visit my childhood friend Suzie. We met in fifth grade when she rode her bike past my house, spotted me in the front yard, stopped in the driveway, and said, "Hi, I'm Suzie!"All these years later, she’s still one of my dearest friends. She’s known me through so many seasons of life, and maybe best of all, my whole family adores her too. It’s a sweet reminder that the friendship skills our kids are learning now really can matter for a...
