On the Mindful Mama Podcast we talk about how supporting kids with executive function challenges doesn’t mean doing more—it often means doing less.

A student asked me, “How do I pay attention and focus durning lectures?”

We went deep in coaching around this topic, and in this 4 part series, I’ll break it down so YOU can apply similar strategies for your child or students.

There are so many lost opportunities during summer break, when kids could be learning Executive Function skills.
When we have a great idea of how to use teachable moments, it makes all the difference.
Here I outline several actionable ideas you can use right away to support your child.

When not properly addressed, Executive Function challenges and ADHD can cause very real relationship problems, as well as problems with health, jobs, injuries, legal problems, family conflict, and more. Since EF challenges include problems paying attention to details, sustaining attention, distractibility, follow through, difficulty organizing activities, losing things, forgetfulness, etc, we can see how these things can impact relationships. Today I’ll dive into this topic and share one way I help students build better EF skills around relating with others.

Parents, I was asked this, “What would YOU want to hear from those in your life that were harmful & contributed to causing more harm & not seeing the strengths?” The answer may surprise you. Here’s my response.

Summer break is an excellent time to build Executive Function skills, but people often completely miss these opportunities! Today I’ll teach you 1 great way you can actually implement to help your child build EF over Summer break, AND you can use these ideas anytime throughout the year.

Parents & Teachers, the other day in EF-Lab a parent asked if I had a college prep checklist to help her son not wait until the last minute for important tasks. This video tells how I you can help a student in this situation.

I’ve never done this before, but today I’m sharing one of my responses to a phenomenal question from EF-Lab member yesterday. They asked what the role of the parents “should” be, and I go into depth about some of the core concepts that my neurodivergent brain has contemplated during 25+ years I’ve been in education. I hope you find insights that might encourage and inspire you.
