There’s a fine line between support and enablement. Using small tweaks in language and behavior, parents can help foster independence while offering scaffolded support to their child. Solid executive functioning skills enable students to get things done, both at home and in school – hand in homework on time, keep backpack/materials organized, stay focused even when content is boring or difficult, and avoid becoming overwhelmed with schoolwork, among other things.
Effective coaching is not quick, cheap, or easy. The process takes time and effort and involves a lot of trial and error. There is no magic bullet to “fix” your child.
Failure will happen, our job is not to prevent it but to recognize (and praise) the learnings it yields.
I only work with involved parents. We are all part of a team to teach your child strategies to help them navigate school and life. It doesn’t work if you don’t have time to invest in the process.
I approach all clients with warmth, humor, and empathy, but I am very transparent and direct. If you hire me, I’m assuming you want honest feedback, even if it’s hard to hear.
Letter grades do not always accurately reflect students effort or understanding of the materials. Do we want our kids to get better grades? Yes, of course. But the metric I use most is: Does your child feel more successful, happier and healthier? Are they developing the skills they need to launch them successfully into their future?

Parent Support Package
The most common statement I hear from parents is, “My child is incredibly capable, but he just can’t seem to get his act together.” Whether it’s the inability to complete homework in less than 5 hours, starting a 2-week long project the night before it is due, or forgetting there is a test in math, schoolwork can become a nightmare for both parents and students alike.
Parents often feel conflicted as they try to balance offering support while fostering self-sufficiency:
* Should I use my child’s login to check the school website for assignments or trust them when they say they don’t have any homework?
* How much ‘editing’ of their English paper should I do?
* Beyond nagging, yelling, and threatening, how can I motivate my child to care about school?
* What do I do when my child won’t accept help?
Through weekly one-on-one coaching, parents will learn to engage with their children in a way that will end the blame game, reduce conflict, and help them to build the necessary routines/systems to become independent and launch them toward a success in school and in life.
- Weekly parent coaching via Zoom or phone
- Weekly text or Voxer check-ins to answer questions or when problems arise
- Written detailed plan of action after each meeting
$700 per month
Includes four 60-minute one-on-one sessions
