Do You Struggle to Support Your Child’s Learning at Home? Over 51% of parents feel unprepared for the school year, and 60% report being overwhelmed by the mental load of parenting. You’re not alone.
Parenting a child, especially one with special needs, can feel overwhelming. It’s not just the day-to-day demands. It’s trying to understand how to support their learning, both at school and at home, without losing your peace of mind. Many parents struggle with things like understanding the IEP (Individualized Education Plan), knowing how to speak up for their child in meetings, or figuring out how to reinforce learning at home in a way that actually works. As a result, parents feel unsure, alone, and mentally drained.
That’s exactly where Harvesting Gems LLC comes in. Through simple, hands-on workshops, you’ll learn how to support your child’s education step by step. In each session, I break down complex topics like IEPs into language you can understand and use, no guesswork or educational jargon. More importantly, you’ll walk away with tools you can apply immediately. My workshops aren’t just informative but they’re designed to help you feel supported, prepared, and confident.
When you gain clarity, you reduce stress. And when you feel confident, you become your child’s strongest advocate. With the right support, you can create a positive learning environment at home and become an essential part of your child’s success.
The “Prepared Parents, Happy Learners” free workshop is here to support you with one of the toughest parenting challenges; knowing how to help your child learn at home.
In this short, helpful session, you’ll get a simple roadmap to guide you through the IEP process. You’ll also learn your rights as a parent and how to turn everyday moments into positive, fun learning experiences.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have clear, practical strategies you can use right away, without the overwhelm. This isn’t just about your child’s education, it’s about helping you feel ready, supported, and confident every step of the way. Bonus: When you sign up, you’ll also get a free School Readiness Checklist & Activity Sheet to help you get started.

Reading this book made me feel very nostalgic. It can be appreciated at any age. The illustrations are vivid and captivating.
“It’s great to finally have a children’s book based on Caribbean life and family. This book takes the reader on the journey of experiencing life for a Caribbean native who migrated to the US. As someone from the Caribbean, I am very pleased with the story and representation of Caribbean life and migrants. The pictures are beautiful. This is a great read!”
“The Day We Left was a book that captured my attention from the front cover all the way to the last page. This author clearly has the ability to share her experience and create a movie in the readers’ minds with her words. In addition, the illustration is simply amazing. I am eagerly awaiting book number two.”
“As a licensed Speech Language Pathologist, and born and raised New Yorker, this book is everything that I could ask for. I use it in my speech therapy sessions, and it is very kid-friendly. The visuals are amazing, I can use it with language and articulation kids. Very happy with this purchase. Please make more for our world. One of my kids asked me why he has never seen my kind of hair in books ( I have locs), and this is truly the beginning with this book.”
