Recently I had the joy of sitting down with the Moms of Multiples group here in Greensboro. Are you a mom of multiples? If so, look them up asap. They are an incredible support group for one another and can empathize with the twin, triplet, etc. experience in a way that people who don't live it cannot. By the way, I was a guest and as someone who is not a mom of multiples, it was an honor to be in the room. We started our session by reading this poem by Brene Brown. I invited the parents to read it and note what resonated with them. After we had time to dig in, we each shared the portion that tugged at our heartstrings the most. What struck me was that each parent noted a different part of the poem. We used this as a moment to hit pause and get some of those critical reminders needed to move forward along with the validation of sitting next to other parents who really understand. Talk to us. What part speaks to you right now? Why? Add your thoughts in the comments and let's get "Arboro" connecting because we're all in this together. Imperfect in Arboro, Jenna

For now and for what's next? For Students: Tutoring needs a rebrand. Just as we now know that teacher-directed, one-size-fits-all approaches are not the most effective teaching models, the same is true for tutoring. Student-centered, engaging support for students is what we call coaching. We coach students by helping them develop skillsets that will increase both their confidence and knowledge acquisition, not just for now, but for a lifetime. For Caregivers: We've all heard the "there's no manual for this!" comment when we hit hurdles as parents. While that's true, it doesn't mean we can't equip parents with research-based tactics to build confidence and improve family relationships. Some parents may prefer our one-on-one model, whereas others are seeking connections and community that they will get through our BYOB (bring your own baby) book clubs and seasonal clothing swaps. STRONGER FAMILIES, STRONGER COMMUNITY: We are in the business of empowerment. Empowerment doesn't come in a box, nor from a book or podcast. It is the strength that comes from a desire to learn tied with a source of information and support. We have three customer types and three services that offer both the information and the support individuals need to reach the next level of confidence in their role. Our customers are not just students, like other tutoring providers, but the parents and teachers that have the most influence over our students. Our services of coaching, enrichment, and community-building inspire growth, wellbeing, and connections that improve families and strengthen our community. Imperfect in Arboro, Jenna
