I don’t think there is one parent who doesn’t worry about their child’s future when they are struggling in school. It can be hard to get to the bottom of why they are struggling, is it laziness, the school, learning challenges or maybe you think it’s your fault; you aren’t pushing them hard enough? My guest, former underachiever, Alex Hargrove, is talking about how he turned his underachievement in school around and how you can help your child to do the same!

Alex turned his life around to the point where he is now the co-founder of a multi-million dollar start up: NetLaw (https://www.netlawgroup.com) - serving also as its CTO and as a member of its board. Alex graduated with honours from Washington & Lee School of Law in 2011. He practiced trusts and estates at Hargrove Madden LLP upon graduating and quickly found a passion for using technology to make attorneys, like himself, more efficient; and their services, more accessible. Alex designed and developed Hargrove Madden’s Online Practice Platform, which generated over a hundred thousand dollars revenue in a single quarter and garnered the American Bar Association’s 2012 eLawyering Award for innovative delivery of legal services only three months after going live. Levering that success, he worked closely with the founders to draft a business plan that helped secure the first $1 million in seed funding for NetLaw. The story of how Alex turned his life around, and how parents and students themselves can do the same is the focus of his book "Reversing Underachievement: A Practical Guide for Parents of Underachieving Gifted Children" available at Amazon https://amzn.to/2WxEJVX Contact information: Email: alex@netlaw.com Phone Number: 904-521-7697 Social Media: Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/netlawgroup/ Website - https://www.netlaw.com/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/HargroveAlex LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexhargrove/ Thanks for listening!

Parents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we're parenting our future. Up to this point in history, children have been seen as less than and parented in a way that uses power over a child. Most of us were parented in this way but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards, to get their kids to listen. Parents are wanting a different way because they know from their own childhoods this type of parenting hurts and leaves us with scars we take with us through our adulthood. Each one of my episodes is designed to help you navigate the difficult journey of parenting but in a way that is more peaceful and intentional. I’ll show you how to get your kids to listen and cooperate without yelling, punishments and rewards. I’ll show you how to understand your own feelings and those of your kids. My intention is to bring you to a place where you feel connected with your kids and yourself (we often get lost when we become parents!). Tune in weekly for all the inside tips, tools and tricks I teach my private clients to help you build the family you always wanted, and to become the parent you always envisioned you would be. I promise to provide you with fun and entertaining content that will leave you seeing your kids and your reactions in a whole new light! Please make sure to share the episodes that give you goosebumps, and leave you feeling inspired! I am always grateful for every person who subscribes, leaves a review and rates my podcast 5 stars.
