Join Peace At Home expert Hilary Ben-Ami, M.S., for an interactive workshop that will help you understand the root causes of disorganization, especially when executive function skills are involved. You will learn what executive functioning really means, how it affects elementary and middle school students with or without ADHD, and why anxiety or depression can make it even harder to stay on track. Walk away with practical, compassionate strategies you can use right away. You’ll learn ways to reduce power struggles and apply real support that helps your child gain confidence and control over their responsibilities.
After this workshop, you will be able to:
- Recognize how executive function challenges impact organization, time management, and focus
- Identify the difference between typical behavior and signs of deeper struggles
- Support your child without nagging, rescuing, or punishing
- Implement evidence-informed tools to help your child build skills for academic and personal success
- Communicate in ways that build trust and motivation
