Children develop their executive functions—skills like organization, self-control, and time management—by observing and interacting with their environment. As parents, we set the tone, but today’s fast-paced world can make it challenging to create the structure and guidance our kids need.

For almost two decades, I’ve been privileged to coach students and parents in developing executive functions. One thing has always been clear: families where parents were actively involved in the process consistently achieved the best results.

That’s why I created Empower—a program designed to empower you as a parent by strengthening your executive functions and giving you a pedagogical understanding of creating the environment your child needs to thrive. You’ll learn how to:

• Model and teach executive function skills through daily interactions.
• Build calm, organized routines that foster success for you and your child.
• Use purposeful strategies to manage challenges and bring more harmony to your home.

With the Empower Program, you’ll gain the tools to lead your family with clarity and confidence—building a life where both you and your child can thrive.

Are you ready to work together to create the life you and your family deserve?
