JLV College CounselingChild Development – How to Improve your Child’s Academic Performance
Each new beginning of a school year brings on many mixed emotions and expectations. There’s surely the excitement of a fresh start, but it usually comes with some apprehension as to how well the child will fit in and how much progress will be made.
