Positive Psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on identifying character strengths and learning ways to strengthen them, instead of identifying weakness and/or areas that needed to be addressed and worked on. There are multiple benefits of learning about positive psychology: self esteem, confidence, increased ability to deal with stress, emotional regulation, increased focus and concentration and better stress management skills. In age appropriate language, we will focus on a different facet of positive psychology Class 1 will focus on Positive Self Talk: Does it really matter what I think of myself? Class 2 will focus on Personal Strengths: My superpowers Class 3 will focus on Growth Mindset: Mistakes are not a bad thing

My passion is educating children (and parents) about executive functioning and its developmental importance. Too many kids get labeled as "lazy" or "troubled", when a lack of skill is the culprit, not a stubborn "will".
This has led to extensive professional development training in executive functioning from leading experts in the field including an advanced certificate in EF for children and adolescents, and an advanced EF Mastery course of evidence- based strategies in attention, memory and self-regulation. More specific to ADHD was an intensive evidence-based Strategies course for managing ADHD across the lifespan.

One of my 6 children is autistic and has adhd, and three others have ADHD; I have ADD myself.
