Why HabitCoach Works:
A Five-Step Process That Builds on Success

As an involved parent, you may have already tried to help your child with their time management, organization, focus, impulsiveness, and lack of follow-through.

In our experience, creating lasting behavioral changes starts with addressing the underlying executive function skills behind these behaviors—by teaching kids how to build healthy new habits.

Habits aren't created just by hearing a lesson (or a lecture!) from a parent. Instead, kids need to practice each new habit and reinforce it again and again until it becomes second nature.
1.

Assess

We assess your child’s EF strengths and weaknesses.
These results, with parent input, guide us in working with your child.
2.

Educate

Your coach chooses lessons from our curriculum that target one of the weaker EF skills your child is motivated to improve.
With their coach, your child chooses a new habit to help them improve that skill, creating a Habit Card with specific goals.
3.

Inspire

Together, your child and their coach watch videos designed to motivate your child to stick with their new habit.
Coach helps your child anticipate blockers that may get in their way and plan how to move past them.
4.

Practice

Your child improves their weak EF skill by practicing the new habit until it becomes routine for them.
Check-in sessions reinforce the habit and build accountability.
5.

Habit

With practice, the new habit sticks and becomes your child’s natural behavior.
Building on that win, a new skill and supporting habit is targeted for improvement – and your child’s progress continues!

That's where our HabitCoach team comes in.

We'll help your kids build the habits that lead to real change—the kind of changes you can see at school and at home:

By building on a foundation of success, each positive habit reinforces the next one. You'll start to see lasting changes in your child at school and at home.

It's time to take yourself out of the middle. Learn more about how one-to-one coaching through HabitCoach can help your child build the executive skills they need to succeed—or get started today:

Frequently Asked Questions

Curious what topics we cover?
What are executive functioning skills and why do they matter?

Executive functioning skills are the brain-based skills every person needs to get things done. They enable us to plan, focus our attention, remember instructions, juggle multiple tasks, handle our emotions, control our impulses, adapt to change, manage time, problem solve, and more. Students must have them to operate effectively at school, work, home, and to function independently as adults. EF skills start developing in the first year of life and continue evolving until we reach our mid- to late-20’s. Having strong Executive Function skills is more predictive of school and business success than having a high IQ.

How would I know if my child has weak executive functioning skills?

Weak executive functioning skills may first appear as academic issues, behavioral or emotional problems, or even as physical issues. Here are some signs to look for that would indicate your child is struggling with executive function. Does your child…

  • have a hard time starting homework, projects, or chores unless you remind them?
  • lose things like homework, papers, books, assignments frequently?
  • make careless mistakes because they lose focus?
  • struggle to control clutter in their room, desk or backpack?
  • forget things regularly like books they need for homework, due dates, or permission slips?
  • quit or get side-tracked while in the middle of a task or assignment?
  • perform inconsistently at school for no understandable reason?
  • struggle with multi-step instructions?
  • speak or act without thinking?
  • interrupt conversations or activities?
  • struggle to wait their turn?
  • get upset over small issues or changes in their routine?
  • have a hard time being flexible when that’s called for?
  • lack awareness of their behavior and how it impacts others?
  • struggle to recognize their mistakes and how to fix them?
  • procrastinate or have a hard time estimating how long tasks will take?
  • have a hard time getting places on time or meeting deadlines?
  • struggle with planning ahead or prioritizing tasks they need to do?
  • fail to recognize social cues?
  • get into arguments frequently or avoid conflict altogether?
  • struggle to maintain friendships?
  • have a low bar for handling any kind of frustration?
  • have work habits that vary from day to day?
  • avoid things they’re not interested in, but lose themselves in things they find fascinating?
What is ADHD?

ADHD or “Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder” is a brain-based condition that begins in childhood and usually persists into adulthood. It is characterized by difficulty paying attention, impulsive behavior, and/or hyperactivity. ADHD exists on a continuum, which means that the severity of symptoms and challenges to daily life vary from mild to moderate to severe.

How is ADHD related to executive function?

Children with ADHD always struggle with weak executive function skills such as following instructions, staying focused, planning and prioritizing, fidgeting, interrupting others, and managing their emotions.

Negative behaviors for kids with ADHD usually have a positive counterpart or “strength.” For example, those who struggle with impulsivity in the classroom may be a quick thinker on the tennis court. Those who get drawn into episodes of hyperfocus (intense concentration on a specific task that excites them to the exclusion of everything else) may use that passionate interest to write a book or learn a new skill. Also, depending on the severity of their ADHD, they may have both executive function skill weaknesses and strengths. If their working memory is strong but their organization skills are weak, a good working memory can help a child remember to write a daily to-do list to keep them on track. For this reason, it’s important to teach kids with ADHD new habits that help them play to their executive function strengths and work around their EF weaknesses.
