Parent Education
Many children are smart, curious, and capable but still struggle with things like organization, time management, emotional regulation, or getting started on tasks. In this Limitless Learning parent education session, we’ll break down what’s really going on and share practical, realistic ways parents can support their children with less stress at home. We’ll reference the literature and articles listed below. No reading or preparation is needed; everything will be explained during the session.
Book: Smart But Scattered (Peg Dawson and Richard Guare)
Article: Tips for Caregivers and Parents on Schooling at Home: What Role Do Executive Skills Play? (Peg Dawson)
