Ann Dolin, MEd
You want your child to stay motivated, organized, and on top of assignments. Your child likely wants to stay on track, too. So why do they keep missing deadlines, losing homework, and starting assignments the night before they’re due?
Executive function skills, including time management, take time to learn. Once a student develops systems that work for them, these strategies can help them succeed in middle school, high school, and beyond.
In this webinar, Ann Dolin, MEd, will discuss how you can help your middle schooler or high schooler develop those critical executive function skills this school year. Other topics covered include:
- How to ensure your kid completes schoolwork without feeling like a nag
- Ways to communicate to improve the parent/child relationship and avoid conflict around academics
- Apps, calendars, and other student-friendly organizational tools
- When to leave things up to your child, step in to support, or recruit outside help
