We’ll explore how it shows up in daily life, why it’s often misunderstood, and what can actually help. With humor, insight, and real-life examples, this conversation sheds light on a powerful but often hidden struggle.
In this practical neuro-friendly workshop, parent coaches Diane Dempster and Trina Maclean will guide you through a fresh, coach-approach to reducing digital drama and device dilemmas when it comes to technology — without constant conflict or rigid rules.
Navigating tech in today’s world is one of the most common challenges parents face (at all ages and stages). Add challenges of Executive Function to the mix, and it becomes even more complicated!
A broad range of emotions is part of our human experience, and we experience different feelings throughout a day. It's important to let those feelings happen.
And of course, next week Diane's favorite -- look for details below on her 4 week class for parents who are ready to do some personal development work. If you know you're more anxious or less regulated than you'd like, this class was designed for you! (A few spots left: limited to 15).
Our amazing team at ImpactParents is trying to make it as EASY as we can for you to prioritize the support you need. Please, give us any feedback that will help us do that better!
Now, this week on the blog, Diane writes about Standing up for Kids who are Falling Behind -- in life, or school.
Y'all -- life is full. Those of us who are naturally complex might like the energy, the novelty, and the creativity of a full and busy life. AND ... it can be hard to prioritize, to make conscious decisions about what to say YES to, and what might be a Juicy NO.
Occasionally we send a series of emails about specific special offers -- like Spring or Back to school specials, short term classes like "Parenting the Adventure Within," etc. You can always unsubscribe from ANY specific sequence without having to unsubscribe from everything else.
A brand new format makes these emails easy to read, so in the future look for "Events Roundup" in the subject for links to free and fee-based events sponsored by us or our collaborative partners! PLEASE NOTE: We only share resources you can rely on for accuracy and integrity!
Typically on Tuesdays, twice a month (sometimes that structure is flexible 😊) -- you'll get event emails with summits, workshops and classes we feel are valuable to share (like our two November Technology events).
On Thursdays, you'll receive a weekly newsletter to make sure you get all our current new posts and resources in one place. (That's this email, just so we're clear!). It will usually say "Newsletter" in the subject.
Community Notice: In response to feedback that people want fewer emails from us, here's what you can count on from us! We hope this clarifies what we send you, because the last thing we want to do is add to your overwhelm!
