Executive Functioning Support Course: Raising an Organized Kid, with Deanna Kim, M.Ed.
Fridays, Feb. 27-March 27 (5 weeks)
Virtual
Event Info
Do you feel overwhelmed by your family’s ever-growing list of after school activities? Are you up late at night helping your child finish a project that’s due tomorrow? While many of us with children struggle with planning, organization, and time management, developing a family system can be the key to overcoming these challenges.
This 5-week course with instructor Deanna Kim, M.Ed. will offer parents the unique opportunity to work with our staff to develop their own family system, and learn more about executive functioning and how it impacts our day-to-day lives.
Sessions will focus on planning through the use of a family calendar, time management, routines, sustaining attention, how to work through the homework frustrations, and emotional regulation. Each participant will leave with the tools they need to help their family get back on track and more organized.
Space is limited, and pre-registration is required, so please register early. Early bird rate of $350 ends Feb. 6.
