A Deeply Experienced Thought Partnership
“TTA was fabulous with my girls (7th grade); they were very inspired and energized by their conversations and they’re still talking about elements of it. Our counselor was outstanding and absolutely responsive to my many questions. This was a deeply experienced thought partnership between my kids and TTA and the spark that was ignited within each is amazing.”

- Grades 4-7
- No multi-year contract
- Unlimited time
Guiding your child through the pivotal middle school years can be both exhilarating and daunting. As parents, you’re navigating the delicate balance between fostering academic growth and nurturing your child’s holistic development. That’s why we created a set of questions tailored to specific grade levels, designed to spark conversations and reflection as you take the first step to support your child’s educational journey.
4th – 6th grade
- Is my child bored in school? How can I help them engage more?
- Do my child’s extra-curricular activities allow them to grow?
- Has my child found academic or intellectual areas of interest outside of school?
- How can I keep my child interested in meaningful activities (and off of screens)?
- Does my child need help with organization?
- Can my child execute a larger task from start to finish by breaking it into smaller pieces?
- How can I encourage my child to read more?
- How can I guide my child to choose their own activities, rather than just participating in what I signed them up for?
- Should I be considering a different middle school for my child?
- How can I effectively communicate with teachers and school staff to ensure my child’s academic and social needs are being met during the middle school years?
- How can I figure out what my child is genuinely interested in since they seem to change every other day? Are there educational resources or programs available in our community or virtually that could benefit my child’s intellectual development?
7th grade
- How can parents balance supporting their child’s academic success while also promoting their emotional well-being?
- Should I be considering a different high school for my child?
- How can I prepare my child to be academically successful in high school?
- How can my child get ahead in Middle School if there is no class choice and all students are taking the same classes?
- My child plays a sport on a year-round club. When will we know whether they are an athletic recruit or not?
- How can I help my child get out of their room (bearing in mind they cannot drive yet) and off screens?
- How can I help my child build resilience and cope with academic setbacks or challenges in middle school?
- What role should standardized test preparation play in my child’s academic journey during these years?
- My child is gifted but has terrible study habits. How can I help them develop better habits now before the crush of high school?
- When should I start thinking about high school applications?
- Is it too early to be thinking about the college admissions process?
- Our middle school does not offer a lot of activities. How can I find outside activities in areas my child enjoys?
