1:1 Coaching for Middle School & High School Kids
Do you have a child who struggles with one or more of the following?
- Emotional Regulation & Stress Reactions: Does your child easily become frustrated or angry? They might experience perfectionism, leading to anxiety that keeps them up at night or stops them from trying new things. Perhaps they worry constantly, making it difficult for them to take on challenges or adapt to changes.
- Attention Struggles: Is it challenging for your child to focus on homework or complete tasks you’ve asked them to do? While they may hyper-focus on activities they enjoy, tasks they find less interesting might seem impossible to tackle.
- Planning, Organization & Anticipation: Does your child struggle with organizing their responsibilities or planning ahead? This could show up as forgotten homework, incomplete assignments, or trouble packing their bag with the right items. They may also have difficulty anticipating what they’ll need for upcoming tasks or events, leading to last-minute stress.
- Inhibition, Impulse Control & Flexibility: Does your child act without thinking, find it hard to stop what they’re doing, or struggle with sudden changes in plans? They might react quickly with anger or frustration, or find it hard to switch gears when something unexpected comes up.
- Task Avoidance & Interest-Based Focus: Does your child avoid starting tasks they don’t find interesting, even though they can focus intensely on things they enjoy? This can lead to important responsibilities being left undone, causing stress for both you and your child.
- Working Memory (Verbal & Non-Verbal): Is it difficult for your child to remember instructions or visual information, like where they left something or how to complete a multi-step task? This can impact their ability to follow through on daily routines or schoolwork.
- Initiation, Time Sense & Pacing: Does your child struggle to start tasks, manage their time, or keep a steady pace in their work? They might find it hard to know how long something will take or how to break down a project into manageable steps.
- Self-Monitoring, Modulation & Correcting: Is your child unaware of how they’re doing in the moment, whether in schoolwork or behavior? They might not realize when they’ve made a mistake or need to adjust their approach, making it challenging to self-correct and stay on track.
- Analyzing, Decision-Making & Prioritizing: Does your child struggle with making decisions, analyzing situations, or prioritizing tasks? They might find it hard to figure out what’s most important or how to break down complex tasks, leading to overwhelm or procrastination.
In our 1:1 Online Coaching sessions (unless you live in East Toronto) I work with your child to develop practical strategies that address these executive functioning challenges at home and in school. We’ll focus on understanding their unique brain and emotional needs, helping them build skills that will make daily life smoother and more manageable.
