Parents have enjoyed recent presentations at King County libraries given by Bob Mahmoudi, CPSi’s Executive Director, about “An Effective Parent’s Role: Helping Your Student Make the Most of the High School Years While Enhancing College Options.”   Those who attended at the Newport Way, Issaquah, and Mercer Island Libraries came away with a tool box of fresh ideas to help students make the most of high school opportunities while keeping their sights set on college.

Focused on inspiring parents with solutions to common challenges, Mahmoudi shares his “5-Part-5-Day Plan,” which he created to help students develop the strong time management skills critical for success in both high school and college.  Bob also provided insights on how parents can best encourage students to explore their passions and interests as they continue to learn and grow.   

Parents of middle and high school students learn how to help their teens develop effective habits begin to take charge of their own education and future.  Mahmoudi discusses the importance of students working effectively with their teachers, counselors, and high school administration.  He also outlines steps students can take to increase their college admission and scholarship opportunities as they prepare for applying to colleges.  

Jennifer Wooten, the Young Adult Librarian at the Newport Way Library said, “I thought the presentation was well articulated, and really spoke to the parents as to what they can do to help their children succeed.  I found Bob’s presentation insightful, and relevant.”
