Parent/Caregiver Lift-Off Tasks
Lift-Off Tasks are short, meaningful activities that help parents and caregivers extend the impact of each Raising Eagles session into real life. For every session, participants will receive 1–2 follow-up questions or prompts designed to deepen learning, encourage reflection, and strengthen family connection.
These tasks may include:
A reflection question with a practical takeaway for how the session's topic applies to your family
An action step or activity to complete with your child(ren), followed by a reflection on how it went
Whether it's trying a new strategy at home, having a conversation with your child, or exploring a new tool together, Lift-Off Tasks help translate insight into action. Families who complete four or more tasks throughout the year will be celebrated at our end-of-year event in recognition of their commitment to their child’s growth and success.
How to Access Your Lift-Off Tasks:
Review the task options below. When you click the link for a Lift-Off Task, you’ll be prompted to create a login through Easy Generator. At the bottom of the page, click “Don’t have an account? Sign up here.” It’s a quick and easy process. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll log in and be taken directly to your course.
Note: Videos for each Lift-Off Task won’t be available immediately but should be viewable within a week of the session.
