The StudyPro is an Executive Function and Study Skills Center that offers courses, 1:1 coaching and a coached homework center.

With increasing curriculum demands eliminating the time previously used to teach strong organizational and time-management skills, many of our students are acutally less prepared for college than ever. The StudyPro sat down with Dr. Catherine McCarthy to talk about how parents can help their students slow down and combat this "rush to competency".

Skills are built, not born. If your child strives to be a great athlete, they are taught those skills. If we want our students to be great students, we need to teach (and practice) those skills too!

If you have certain Executive Function challenges, try using these apps as a strategy!

Transitions are buffers between preferred and non-preferred activities. Believe it or not, you *can* help your children more easily transition with these tips!

Study skills are required but not always taught in school. Having these skills make school easier and reduce stress for students.

In this video, Cameron “Dr. Cam” Caswell, PhD. Dr. Cam will share her PRIME parenting method which she developed to help parents navigate the tricky teen years.

In her presentation, “Communication Secrets to Improve the Teen/Parent Connection”, Dr. Cam will cover: - How to effectively motivate and encourage teens using her PRIME parenting method. - What to do and say in the difficult situations parents commonly encounter. - How to help teens understand the emotions they are feeling and express them in a healthy way. - Teens act out when they feel misunderstood. And they feel misunderstood because they usually are. How we relate to our kids really matters because we, as parents, are the single most important influence our teens have.

In this video, The StudyPro’s Lindsey Thoms, M.Ed. and Founder, Debbie Rosen, share:

• What Executive Functions (EF) skills look like “in real life”
• How to recognize an EF challenge vs. common behavioral challenges
• How to help our students overcome the barriers of under-developed EF skills
• How to improve EF skills by focusing on small successes and growing their “seeds”

One of the great joys for a parent is to cheer our children on as they build new skills.

And although learning itself is a skill, when we see missing work, avoidance, or a poor test grade, we often fail to identify the root cause of that behavior as a missing skill. But most likely, it is. Improving Executive Function skills will help with focus, flexibility, and pushing through frustration.

And that’s definitely something to cheer about.

There are five key emotional needs that our children have and making “deposits” in these areas will not only strengthen our bond but will also improve their self-esteem.

The Remote Homework Center (rHWC) helps students get work done.

Wonder how? Hear from Debbie Rosen, Founder of The StudyPro, how the rHWC coaches help students complete their work with both subject-matter expertise as well as executive function strategies.

Remote learning has created increased executive function demands, and this dramatic shift has left parents scrambling to figure out how to help in a supportive way. We will spend these 45 minutes sharing our experience, so you know when and how to help, as well as how much help to offer.

In this video, The StudyPro executive function coaches provide strategies, tools, and tips that parents can use to help students:

• Know what has to get done
• Track unfinished work
• Stay organized
• Stay focused
• Stay motivated

Distance Learning is hard. From knowing what is due to getting it done, these pros have tips to help make it easier.

Actively recognizing our gratitude in the time of COVID will improve our mood, increase our optimism and remind us of how special, beautiful and fortunate our lives are, even under these stressful conditions.

In this video, Jerry Posner, author, speaker and humorist will share:

• The benefits of showing gratitude, especially in the time of COVID
• What parents can do to model gratitude for children
• Simple “Grati-Tools” that help us easily practice ourselves and with our families (e.g. his famous “grati-Tuesdays” and gratitude walks)
• How to being to build the habit of gratitude

Noticing more of what and who we are grateful for not only improves optimism but it improves our moods and provides us with a better way to cope with stress.

Anxiety wants us to avoid things that make us sick, hurt, or scared. But if it becomes overwhelming, it no longer serves the purpose of helping us solve any problems. And while there are a lot of reasons to be anxious right now, we are also in control of more than we might think.

To help us know we aren’t alone in this extraordinary time, we asked leading therapists to identify the five central themes that they are hearing on “repeat” as well as the counsel they are sharing to address them.

Increasingly schools are embracing a growth mindset to bolster student motivation and achievement. Learn how parents can bring this home!

In this webinar we share:

• What a growth mindset is and why it drives motivation and achievement.
• The critical role parents can play in developing a growth mindset in their students.
• The best way to praise your students in order to encourage them to take risks and support the growth of their talents.

We are here to help! The StudyPro provides 1:1 Remote Executive Function Coaching.

The StudyPro is a study skills and homework center serving 6th through 12th graders. Our program helps students build the key organizational and executive function skills required to plan, initiate, organize, time-manage and complete their work.

While some students come by executive skills naturally, others need support with developing strategies for success until the process becomes natural for them.

Our study skills "system" teaches these skills in a 5-part course, provides a coach-supported homework center to practice skills on nightly homework and offers additional help with 1:1 coaching.
