What is
EDU Parent Coaching?
EP Meeting Preparation
Allow us to develop an outline for what you really want to address in your upcoming update meeting.
Laws and program vary state to state, but the federal laws are clear. We can help you take the current plan, explain it in more detail than you get from the VERY busy, overworked educators, and help you formulate your next steps.
Even if you just need advice on building a workable relationship with your child's current school, we can help.
Academic Support Packages
We will look at your child's current data, task requirements from their teacher(s), and your family's schedule and create workable study plan that meets the developmental needs of your child, meet the requirements of the teacher(s), and make homework time less painful for everyone.
Sometimes the outside perspective is really helpful and pragmatic as it can remove the emotions from the science of learning. Gifted students have a tendency to procrastinate simply because they can. We can help create a plan for you to navigate this and develop a time management plan this is feasible and works with your family's busy schedule.
AND BONUS-you can blame us for your kid having to do multiplication tables on a Saturday morning.
Social Skills & Peer Inclusion Training
Gifted students are often struggling socially as their EQ (emotional intelligence) & IQ do not always match their grade level.
We can help create strategies with dealing with these emotions in a healthy and intellectual way that will appeal to your gifted and talented child.
Parent & Caregiver Training
Each kid is different, BUT the way the gifted brain develops is difficult to keep up with. While gifted children have the cognitive capacity for complex topics, their social-emotional intelligence is often out of synch with that advanced cognitive abilities.
Gifted perfectionism and gifted underachievement are just two of the specific unique challenges of raising a gifted child. If you find yourself at a loss and are out of ideas, we can help.
Sometimes the biggest impacts can be from the smallest of changes, but when you are in it all day every day those small things become really difficult to see.
Behavior Interventions
If you need help getting your child to effectively plan their time, complete any task in full, or not restart an entire project over, we can help. Using years of classroom management strategies and deep understanding of gifted characteristics, we can tailor a plan that works for your home that targets the specific behaviors that are creating consistent stress for you and your child.
