I liked the training. I saw improvement in my son’s motivation to go to school. My son, José, enjoyed the activity of drawing himself in the future. It was good for me to see his projected high school graduation year on paper. I didn’t have this date in mind until it was brought to my attention. What I liked about tracking his attendance and monitoring his homework was spending time with José.
