We teach your child to…

Create a routine and stick to it: Establish a consistent routine for your daily activities, including waking up, studying, and sleeping. Use visual cues and reminders such as a schedule or a planner to help you stay on track. We teach your child to visualize time and make it work for them!

Break tasks into smaller chunks: Breaking tasks into smaller steps can make them more manageable and help them stay focused. Use a checklist to keep track of their progress.

Prioritize tasks: Prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. Use color coding or symbols to help you quickly identify tasks that require immediate attention.

Organize their space: Keep their workspace clean and clutter-free. Use folders, binders, and labels to organize their papers and school supplies.

Use technology: Use technology to their advantage by using apps, timers, and alarms to help them stay on task and manage their time.

Take breaks: Taking short breaks can help them recharge and stay focused. Use a timer to limit their breaks and stay on schedule.

Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for overall health and well-being. Establish a regular sleep schedule and create a relaxing bedtime routine.

Coaching Session Activities

Coaching sessions are 30 or 60 minutes long and are best held weekly to start. Content will be tailored to your child’s unique needs.

Review progress: At the beginning of each coaching session, review progress made since the last session. Identify areas of improvement and areas that still need work. Prioritize homework, other responsibilities, and goals.

Practice skills: Practice the strategies and skills learned in previous sessions. Use role-playing and real-life scenarios to reinforce learning.
