Raising Capable Kids:
Why this parent consult when kids are still young?
Why this parent consult when kids are still young?
- This practical seminar empowers parents to sow the seeds of executive function at home, when kids are young and still happy about parental involvement - when opportunities to make a big difference abound.
- One of the more frequent inquiries I receive is from parents of middle and high school students whose child is experiences executive function challenges. Unlike remediating math or other academic skills, working on self-regulation in middle or high school is a more complex, time consuming, and difficult process. This stage in life is late in the game, which makes successful intervention more challenging.
- The 40 varied suggestions represent the best of years of talks and interventions. Of the 40 options, parents can implement those that speak to them and their unique situation.
- Definitely not, there are very few technology-related suggestions.
- Pro-active parents who understand their vital role in developing these skills early in life, rather than later, when it's more complicated and challenging.
