Struggling to help your child stay up to date with homework assignments? Ever notice they seem unaware of timelines, deadlines, rubrics? Is there some kind of "lost in translation" experience that happens somewhere between the teacher explaining an expectation and your child's ability to capture and complete the task? Does their book bag look like a garbage can? Is their bedroom chaotic? If you feel that somehow you've landed an extra job of being an educational project manager please join Kate Kennedy as she shares ways to help your student gain age appropriate independence, autonomy, and self advocacy all the way from kindergarten through college. Executive function skills include time management, organization, task initiation, planning and perseverance and each plays a role in helping kids learn to manage their school experience with confidence.
