How to Improve Your Child’s Executive Functioning Skills Without All the Arguments This School Year
Do you have any homework?” “I’m not sure…” “What do you mean you’re not sure? Where’s your agenda?” “I think it’s in my room...somewhere.”
Sound familiar? If you’re having this conversation multiple times each week, you’re not alone. Whether your child is in elementary school or preparing to graduate from high school, you want them to be ready and on top of their priorities.
So why do they keep missing deadlines, losing assignments, and starting things the night before they’re due? It’s because executive functioning skills, like time management or prioritization, take time to learn.
Webinar Highlights:
- Ensuring kids stay on top of their schoolwork without feeling like a nag
- Using Site maps, Google calendars, and other tools for staying organized
- Identifying smart strategies for tracking assignments
- When to leave things up to your child, step in to support, or recruit outside help
- Keeping kids engaged
- Opening the lines of communication
Join Ann Dolin, M.Ed. educational consultant and award-winning author to learn how you can help your child develop critical executive functioning skills this school year. Ann is the President and Director of Educational Connections, Inc.
