Parent Presentation Topics:
Living with ADHD is not easy. Not for parents, not for siblings, and most of all, not for the child with ADHD. We have learned so much in the past ten years to help ease the path for these children both in school and at home. This presentation from Cindy Goldrich, certified ADHD coach, covers the essential strategies parents must implement to help their children survive and thrive. You will learn about the best supports for your child, the facts about ADHD beyond the diagnosis, and the basics about what Executive Function is and how it impacts learning, motivation, and behavior. Let's discuss how to best prepare them and yourselves for the journey ahead!
Research has shown us that how we perceive our learning ability dramatically impacts our confidence, motivation, and perseverance. This presentation explores the basics of Executive Function and lessons of Growth Mindset that all parents and educators need to know to improve students’ motivation to learn and willingness to face learning challenges. We will explore how to help children best see themselves as learners and how to best support them in developing perseverance in the face of difficulty.
Getting started – it’s often the hardest part for some kids, especially when they are challenged with ADHD /Executive Function Issues. Through understanding the process involved with task initiation and addressing some potential obstacles, this workshop will provide tools for helping students begin their work and achieve greater success.
Students, especially those with ADHD/Executive Function Challenges often have dreams and desires, but no concrete plan to make these wishes a reality. Setting meaningful goals is an impactful way for students to develop and improve Self-Regulation skills. In addition, research shows that when students set goals and work toward them, not only do they perform better, but they experience less stress and anxiety and they are happier and more satisfied with their lives. This webinar will help students, parents, and educators to know and to teach both the value and the process of setting in addition to monitoring and achieving their goals. Participants will gain specific strategies for engagement in meaningful conversations around goal setting, establish a process for choosing realistic goals, and setting the pathway for planning and monitoring the goals.
Learning Objectives:
- Set timely, relevant, and achievable priorities
- Write meaningful and impactful goals
- Learn strategies to stay connected to your goals and adjust, as necessary
- Explore visualizing and concretizing your goals
When parents seek support to help their children as they struggle to manage their behavior and academic performance, the world of ADHD Coaching is often introduced to them either by referral from a professional or via an internet search. While they become encouraged at the possibility of support for their child, the reality is that for a variety of reasons, that child may not yet be “coachable”. As the child’s surrogate frontal lobe, parents play a tremendous role helping the child learn to manage their Executive Functioning, especially when it comes to Emotional Regulation.
But parents wonder…
• Am I enabling my child or just being supportive?
• How can I set boundaries that won’t immediately trigger my child?
• How do I impose consequences that will teach my child skills and not just be punitive?
Learning Objectives:
- Set timely, relevant, and achievable priorities
