Manage episode 391718328 series 3389590
School and academics can cause a lot of tension in your household. No matter your good intentions or whether or not you have the skills and knowledge to help your teen with their school work, getting guidance and encouragement from you can be triggering for them.
On the other hand, it can also cause a lot of frustration for you as the parent when you see your child’s behavior around schoolwork. It can be hard to not let judgment shine through in your communication, which raises the emotions for your teen and leads to even more procrastination and resistance.
In this second part of my interview with Chrissy Nichols, an amazing Executive Function coach who specializes in helping teens reintegrate into traditional learning environments, she tells us more about how an Executive Function coach can help your family. Have a listen!
In this episode on giving the gift of an Executive Function coach to your family, we discuss:
- The difference between EF coaching, academic tutoring and life coaching and how they weave together;
- Working on your teen’s confidence and self-belief;
- Taking the judgment out of helping our kids;
- Giving control to the EF coach;
- And more!
