Mentoring
These days, parents are caught in the middle. They want to educate their children beyond what school offers - to help their kids to compete later in life. However, they do not have the time to teach their children. These parents are busy at work were ,due to downsizing, survivors must work multiple jobs.
Therefore, companies such as "Mentoring Mind" prosper. Their website offer tools, games, and activities, along with teaching strategies, to help mentor kids to develop thinking skills and become learners for life.
For example, one of their product lines are flip charts. They have them on subjects such as critical thinking and cyber bullying. Behind all their products, Mentoring Minds have research which parents can download. For example, they describe how bullying first became a concern in Norway in the 1960's and 70's, following several deaths.
"Mentoring Mind" also helps teachers with strategies for teaching, and teacher education.
