PARENTS...
Is telling your child to "try harder" or "do better" just not working when it comes to school?
​
It's not your fault, or theirs!
Most students don’t just know how to do this on their own. Especially, students with ADHD or weak executive functioning skills (such as planning and time management, etc) - telling them to try harder or do better just doesn’t work!
​
​
Perhaps you are overwhelmed, tired, don't know how to help them, and to top it off, your student may not want your help!
They actually need to be taught specific executive functioning skills and study strategies...but that's seems so boring to them...
It feels discouraging for you, and for your child...and the cycle just keeps going...
-
What if your student was able to learn specific skills in a fun and engaging way?
-
What if their creative brain was able to choose creative strategies that work for them instead of dreading school and studying?
-
What if you didn’t have to get into power struggles, and could enjoy them again, because someone else was teaching them how to study?
-
What if they could build confidence in their academic life?
BUT, What if...
What if there were actual tips, tricks, skills and strategies to help them succeed?
Well, there is!
