Summer is over... back to the grind.  Boy that was quick - but beautiful! My phone is already ringing with parents wondering how are they going to get their kids to do their work.  Do you feel the pressure building?

 

Slow down... let's look at some facts.  Motivation is NOT something you can really DO to another person, but you can help it along.  In the article below I am going to give you some insights and strategies to help you, as parent, teacher, or professional, help kids start their engines to have a productive, successful school year.  But first, I will share with you the fruits of my own motivation... I have been busy all summer writing a book based on my work to be published next year.

 

 

And... If your school needs professional tips, tools, strategies, I offer Managing ADHD and Boosting Executive Function Skills in the Mainstream Classroom Professional Development

 

And...For those parents and caregivers supporting kids with ADHD, my Calm and Connected:Parenting Kids with ADHD Parent Coaching Workshop Series and Managing Homework: Tips, Tools, and Strategies - and Your Role Workshop are starting in October.  Please click on links for details.

 

If you want support making this happen, that's what we are here for.  That's MY motivation- helping parents and teachers gain the strength and skill to take a step back and Coach their kids - cheer on their success, encourage them to try again, and help them learn to accept help along the way.

I look forward to an awesome year helping you and yours find their Pathway to Success!

 

Take note of where they are now, not where they should be.  Set your goals accordingly.
