Showing Up, Moving Forward is more than a guide-it's a lifeline for parents who want to help their children thrive by mastering one of the most overlooked habits of success: consistent school attendance.

Drawing on over a decade of real-world experience as a Juvenile Corrections Officer, Truancy Case Manager, and Attendance Coach, author Jason Manley shares heartfelt stories, practical strategies, and culturally aware insights to help families remove the barriers that keep kids from showing up.

Inside you'll learn:

• Why attendance matters more than you might think

• How to navigate school systems and advocate for your child

Filled with empathy, encouragement, and easy-to-follow steps, Showing Up, Moving Forward is perfect for parents of K-12 students who want to set their children up for long-term success-starting with the simple power of being present.
