Are your kids counting down the days until they can sleep in, watch movies, play video games, and hang out with friends all day? Ahhh... summer! 😎
But it's also the time of year when many parents start worrying about things like:
✔ What will my kids do all day?
✔ Are they getting too much screen time?
✔ Will they lose the study habits and other skills they gained during the school year?
If this sounds like your family and you want to keep the momentum of the school year going through the summer (and ensure a smoother start to the next school year), we can help! This summer break, we have Executive Function programs for students in elementary, middle, and high school.
Learn how we teach EF over the summer here: https://ectutoring.com/summer-executive-function-coaching
What Does Summer Executive Function Coaching Look Like? Since the stakes are lower during summer break, students have more time to focus on building independence and increasing confidence through summer executive function coaching.

Kids work hard during the school year.
🛑 But the structure of school is about to screech to a halt for several months and many kids will forget what they've worked so hard to master!
🏫 In fact, the average K-8 student will lose 17–34% of this year's learning gains during this summer break. That's according to a 2020 study in the American Educational Research Journal.
