69. Fire Yourself From Being the Academic Police With Executive Function Coach Chrissy Nichols

Parenting Post-Wilderness: Parenting a Struggling Teen Before, During and After Treatment

What would it feel like if you just got to love your child at the dinner table instead of having conflicts over due dates or presentations? To be able to take that completely out of the equation? An Executive Function coach might be exactly what your family needs.
Chrissy Nichols is an Executive Function coach who specializes in helping teens reintegrate into traditional learning environments. So what does that mean exactly?
In short, executive functioning is all about learning self-regulation skills like working memory, mental flexibility, and time management. In other words, Chrissy helps teens by taking big projects and helping them chunk them down into bite-sized pieces so life feels less overwhelming.
If academics feel out of your control or have turned you into the academic police at your household, make sure you have a listen to what Chrissy has to share today. Her love for kids really shines through in her words. I cannot wait for you to listen to this episode!
