Children often face challenges in initiating tasks, organizing their belongings, managing stress, and effectively handling their time. Despite their best efforts, they may find themselves in trouble for forgetting things or struggling to maintain focus.
Children will be assessed before and after the program to measure progress and highlight areas of growth.
Includes two parent meetings with a Mind Mentors coach:
Children receive beautifully designed materials that make learning interactive and enjoyable.
Families may choose to add two extra coaching sessions to further develop:
Get to know your coach and learn about yourself. What are your “highways” (things that come easy to you) and “construction” (things that are challenging) zones? What do you love and what motivates you? These will be the keys to make learning more fun, to start and keep going on tasks and to push through academic challenges.
There are lots of distractions in our minds and around us. Learn what distracts us and notice how these distractions impact our school work, friendships and even our ability to achieve our own goal. Being aware will help us make choices instead of letting distractions decide for us.
Find ways to concentrate on really listening to our body and finding out what it needs so we can be successful when we work on school projects and other activities that require us to stay calm and be focused.
Maintaining friendships can be challenging. In this meeting we will learn about different perspectives and try to better understand how we can actively tune our attention for internal and external cues so that we can deepen our friendships and avoid frustrations.
Learn tools for dealing with stress and frustration so they do not get in the way of moving forward with activities you really want to participate in.
Learning to set goals and achieve them leads to becoming more independent. It can be very overwhelming when our goals are too large or broad to figure out how to get started on them. Learn how to break down what we want to achieve into small parts so we can get started and feel good along the way.
It is challenging to work on a school project in a non-school setting. Learn how to plan realistically so you experience success- doing something, even if it is not complete, is better than doing nothing- it gets us close to our goal!
Learn how to communicate with your teachers and your parents so they know how to help you be successful. Recap all the great tools and techniques you have learned throughout the program.
