As a member of EF LAB, you'll learn about:

• Executive Function: How to help build the EF Skills kids need for school and life success.
• Planning: Learn how to help students get real skills to use planners independently, so they can stop falling behind, and stay on top of things with confidence, even for kids who hate planners.
• Organization: Learn how to help students create personalized organizational systems, so they can manage backpacks, lockers, papers, folders, books, school supplies, bedrooms, etc.

2. Student Huddle: I will be asking them about the things they are avoiding most, which are the most daunting, so we can identify their biggest challenges, clarify current priorities, and make a realistic plan to get these things done. This helps provide personal accountability. It helps students know where to start, and work through some of their resistance, so they can make real progress.

4. Mini-Workshop for Students:  How To Prioritize The Important Things Over The Fun Things When It Matters: Your brain's Executive Function also helps you "Prioritize", but sometimes we prioritize things that are fun for right now, but that can get in the way of doing the important things that are even more important for our future. So how do we manage ourselves to do the actual best things for our own well-being?
5. Mini-Workshop for Parents: Strengthening Relationship With Your Child: We'll learn several relational tools for you to try with your child in the coming days, designed to open communication and build stronger connections.

Why Did I Create EF-Lab?

I've been helping kids and families for decades, and I've learned what works. 

I also know what doesn't work, and have seen far too many kids struggle for far too long because they remained misunderstood.

These kids are often mislabeled as: Lazy, unmotivated, procrastinator, you just need to try harder, you're making everything so difficult, you've got so much potential!

Well-intended adults try to "motivate" these kids with lectures, punishments, consequences, rewards, using logic and reason to get them to see the light, etc. 

But these approaches don't give kids the Executive Function Skills they need.

Helping kids create real change is not quick and easy. It takes understanding strategies that work, time, empathy, compassion, patience, and persistence.

And after many years of helping kids, I know this: Being a part of the right community is the best way to accelerate progress. 

So that's what we do here. We have a methodology that works, and a community of caring people who support each other to gain clarity about how to actually help!

I hope you join us today,
