Serving Marin County & Beyond
With 30 years experience and as a father of two teens, I know that families who sow the seeds of self-regulation early and often, before these skills get labeled as executive function at school when frustration is high, can prevent many predictable challenges. That's why we created PAUSE People.
Parent Coaching for Families with Kids ages 6-12
​​
As a long-time educator, I’ve observed and heard from countless colleagues that more kids, especially those with ADD, are arriving in the early grades with lagging self-regulation skills. It is the challenges with managing frustration and sustaining effort during tasks they find difficult or uninteresting, not their intelligence, that often creates tricky issues in school and with learning. That’s why I am dedicated to helping parents nurture and strengthen these essential skills at home, early and often.
This program, like PAUSE People, helps parents make sense of what they know and take meaningful action while their children are still young and their energy is positive. At this stage, kids look up to their parents, (PS it won’t last long), making it the ideal time to build self-regulation skills and positive routines at home before default patterns, reactions, and big emotions become routines.
Cohort 3 is fully enrolled and actively engaged, but this individualized flexible version has availability and is tailored to meet each family or families' unique needs.

Why the CDC recommends a good coach...
​​​​​"Experts recommend that healthcare providers refer parents of children younger than 12 years old for training in behavior therapy. When parents become trained in behavior therapy, they learn skills and strategies to help their child with ADHD succeed at school, at home, and in relationships. Learning and practicing behavior therapy requires time and effort, but it has lasting benefits for the child and the family."
-CDC​​​
"Your approach has everything I had hoped for, both for our son, and us as parents: you have substance, experience, actionable handouts and most importantly, a good dose of humor and compassion."
