I spent the first half of my career supporting kids and teens in becoming more efficient, organized, and confident learners. I'm refocusing the second half of my career on leveraging everything I've learned to help parents of younger children take practical, pro-active measures that help them:
- Understand simple, actionable models of attention and executive function
- Reflect: how are your executive function skills, or lack-thereof, impacting your family's quality of life and your chid's self-regulation (focus/attention)
- Consider and modify environmental factors that impact your child's self-regulation: sleep, screen time, diet, exercise, unsupervised free time, and stress
- Identify what's working in your home environment and areas that need improvement
- Enact a roadmap for change -implement more helpful routines that foster your child's self-regulation, organization, and agency
- Communicate with your child (and spouse/partner) in ways that enable cooperation, while reducing drama and conflict
- Address learning, attention challenges (LDs, ADHD, etc) with more acceptance and understanding
- Collaborate with teachers in ways that support your child's individual needs
- For divorced parents: co-parent/collaborate in ways that support your child's executive function skills -expert advice from a fellow co-parent and primary care-giver of two sons, ages 11 and 13.
This coaching relationship begins during the early elementary years. Fostering helpful habits at this timely stage can mitigate challenges that, during adolescence, are more complex and difficult to manage.
