Feeling overwhelmed trying to keep your child (and yourself) organized, focused, and on track? You’re not alone.

Executive functioning impacts everything: morning routines, homework, emotional regulation, follow-through, and for many parents, these challenges show up in your life too.

Join us for our upcoming Parent Lunch & Learn where we’ll break it down in a real, practical way.

🧠 What we’ll cover:
• What executive functioning actually is (in everyday language)
• Why your child may struggle with listening, transitions, or follow-through
• How your own executive functioning impacts parenting
• Simple, realistic strategies you can start using immediately

This is not about “doing more”; it’s about doing what works.

🗓 Wednesday, April 29th
⏰ 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (Virtual)
💻 Join from wherever you are

Whether you're in the middle of daily power struggles or just trying to create more structure and calm in your home, this space is for you.
