​Raising Capable Kids:
​​A Coaching Program for Parents

Combining 25 Years of expert insights from a special needs educational consultant, learning specialist,​ classroom teacher, executive function coach, and father of two boys

As fun and fulfilling as it can be, raising kids can also be overwhelming -especially if you and/or your child ​have ADHD/executive function challenges. For better or worse, the household routines parents implement -by choice or by default- affect every aspect of our kids' lives and the family's dynamics.

I spent the first half of my career helping kids and teens become more efficient, organized, and confident learners. I'm refocusing the second half of my career on leveraging everything I have learned to coach parents to take practical, proactive measures that help them:

• Understand: explore a simple, actionable model of executive function skills that applies to parents and kids alike 
• Reflect: how is your executive function profile helping and/or hindering home routines, communication patterns, and the development of your child's self-regulation skills?
• Adjust: recalibrate environmental factors and routines that impact your child's self-regulation including sleep, screen time, communication patterns, exercise, unsupervised free time, tasks/chores and other issues that pertain to you, your kids, and your family​
• Support learning and attention challenges (LDs, ADHD, etc) with greater understanding and preparedness​ -at home and in collaboration with teachers
• Communicate with your child (and spouse/partner) in ways that enable cooperation, while reducing drama and conflict.

​For divorced parents: 

• Expert advice from a fellow co-parent and the primary caregiver of two sons, ages 11 and 13 on how to co-parent/collaborate in ways that reduce conflict, provide consistency, and support your child's executive function skills in two homes​

​​Raising Capable Kids empowers parents to sow the seeds of executive function skills
during childhood, when kids are interested in parental involvement
and opportunities to lay helpful foundations abound.
