When to Step In, When to Step Back - Tuesday Evenings

Tuesdays 7:30-8:15
Start Date: June 23, 2026
End Date: July 28, 2026

Middle school is when independence is expected, but not yet developed for most teens.

If your child is bright but struggles to start, stay organized, or follow through, you’re not alone. Most students aren’t lacking ability—they’re missing the executive functioning systems that make independence possible.

This program shows you how to support your child without becoming their manager—so they can build the skills to do it themselves.

Many executive functioning coaches coach the student. I do too, but overtime I have found that coaching parents is even more effective in the middle years.

This program helps you shift from managing your child’s work → to mentoring their independence.

You’ll learn how to:

• Support time management without constant reminders

• Help your child start tasks when they feel stuck

• Teach planning and prioritizing without taking over

• Reduce homework conflict and build follow-through over time

• Decrease conflicts around technology use
