| 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 interactive support course, led by Deanna Kim, M.Ed., will offer parents the unique opportunity to develop a roadmap for organizing your family, 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. There will be an action step after each class so you will need to set aside time to implement. As a result, you will leave with the tools you need to help your family get back on track and more organized this year.
