Engage. Guide. Encourage.
GuidEd Family establishes a framework of accountability, encouragement, and positive interaction between students and parents through which families are united in developing career-oriented values, social-emotional health, and academic achievements.
GuidEd Family unites a family through effective process of discovery, interaction, and encouragement. Supporting self-efficacy, curiosity, and academic identity and empowering students to reach their full potential.
At the same time that adolescents are experiencing rapidly-evolving demands of life – dramatic increases in the complexity of their environment and peer groups – parent-child interaction are becoming become more restrictive, more punitive, and much more anxiety-producing. How, then, do parents motivate their kids to succeed and to accomplish their goals? The typical answer is often disheartening: they use primitive methods such as the “take away” method to coerce their child/ren do better. Unfortunately, this method fails to motivate. Instead, students withhold information to mitigate losses and to avoid the pain of a yelling or frustrated parent.
Young people are already stretched in 100 directions and deal with raging hormones. They deserve consistent feedback, encouragement and expectations at home to build an effective academic mindset, behaviors, learning strategies, and social skills for the 21st Century.
GuidEd Family leverages technology to connect rather than separate, to focus rather than distract, and to engage rather than isolate. It does this through a simple-to-use tool that guides positive interactions and managed goals.
GuidEd Family believes all children deserve access to a process to their unique passion and amplifies that effort with mindset work, goal management, and encouraging feedback to be their best.
We are a team passionate about reimagining modern communication tools to unite families through a process of value development and strategic methods for motivating academics. We are working to transform education by offering a new way to interact with students, a new way to provide a sense of belonging, and a new way to build relationships in a way that adolescents understand. We are creating a medium that will provide the mindset, behaviors, learning strategies, and social skills for students to be successful in the 21st Century. We believe that all students deserve to have a positive, encouraging environment and parents need access to comprehensive and sophisticated tools to best position their child/ren for success.
We believe that most parents want what’s best for their kids; however, they rely too much on negative approaches – nagging, threats, or taking away things – to motivate kids. Too often their efforts to help only generate resistance and can damage family relationship.
Guided Family has set out to provide an interactive tool that guides parents – and students – through the most difficult aspects of education. Our goal is to leverage the power of the family and get parents back to focusing on fun and bonding experiences with their kids.
