Are you struggling to parent your kiddo?

You’re definitely not alone!

Students aren't the only ones who need support. In this world where we are raising the first generation of digital natives, and there are more opportunities to feel disconnected than to feel connected, Lisa and Tatiana, CM's co-directors, are offering a space for parents and caregivers to get the help they need to foster compassion and patience in their parenting journeys. Here are some of the areas they cover in coaching sessions:

• Reframing how you think about what drives your child's behavior

• Cultivating compassion for, patience for, and acceptance of your child

• Learning the language and lens of meeting your child where they are

• Co-regulating instead of co-escalating

• Finding your future glasses and parenting from a place of wonder rather than fear

• Identifying a short list of non-negotiables (five or fewer) and letting go of the rest (for now)

• Identifying a few tools and strategies to use at home to scaffold executive function skills

• Devoting unadulterated time to connecting with your kid

• Connecting before you correct and separating moments of connection from moments of correction/compliance

• Modeling executive function skills at home on a regular basis

• Helping you identify your own EF strengths and weaknesses

• We ask people to self-evaluate in ten areas: metacognition, organization, time management, working memory, planning & prioritizing, task initiation, sustained attention, flexible thinking & problem-solving, stick-to-itiveness, and emotional regulation. 

If needed:

• Learning the nitty-gritty details of ADHD (and other learning differences), how it shows up for their kid, and how it impacts relationships and learning. (Tangentially, they may need to embark on a discovery of their own ADHD and its impacts.)

• Learning and understanding terms like PDA, RSD, and other ADHD characteristics. 

• Reframing their thinking about ADHD and come from a strengths-based perspective.
