| The impact and
influence parents have on their children, particularly teenagers, is often underestimated.
Many parents we interviewed in recent focus groups expressed feelings of
frustration and helplessness and a sense that their teenage children tuned them out.
In fact, research shows that no other single message affects a child more than one
delivered by his or her parent. In this fast-paced, sound-byte world where we all try to make
the most effective use of the little leisure time we have, we wanted to do something that
would help ease parents' frustration and arm them with strategies to help their children
succeed in school.
Visit the Parents
Count website for monthly messages.
