For Teens:
Pretending Your Way to Success (2 or 4 hours workshop) Through stories, role-play, and a variety of directed and small group activities, “Pretending Your Way to Success” empowers and encourages middle and high school students to build their futures today! The premise is that success is not dependent on luck, or who your parents are, or how much money you have, and that the path to success can be fun and not stressful.
“It was fantastic! Margit, you approach the kids with humor and a straightforwardness that they respond to. They were struck by how useful the information was and actually applicable to their lives in an everyday kind of way. Thank you for providing such an excellent program that speaks to the needs of our teens.”
–Lisa Dills, Teen Services Librarian, Burlington, WA

“The Secret Life of the ADD/ADHD Family: What You Need to Know That They Can’t Tell You”
What is ADD/ADHD? Is it a real condition? Is it over-diagnosed? Over-medicated? Is it a “catch all” term for high-spirited kids who don’t want to cooperate? Are there methods that work better than others in helping us bring out the true potential in these bright, but often complex and trying kids? ADD coach and educator Margit Crane shares her personal and professional expertise about how you can help these gifted kids navigate through school without driving you to the brink of insanity! This is the perfect in-service or team-building event for teachers, school counselors, school administration, and health services personnel at the elementary, middle school, junior and senior high levels.

“Margit Crane is a dynamic speaker with a passion for working with kids of all ages. She brings enthusiasm and creative alternatives to struggling individuals and families. She has been a great resource for our school counseling program at Seattle Pacific University!” –Cher N. Edwards, Ph.D., Chair of School Counseling department
