Welcome to our corner of the world!
Here, we have conversations about learning, teens, parenting, emotional overhauls, margaritas, and dogs.
If you've landed on this page, I'm sure you live in the intersection of emotions and academics if you're helping your middle school, high school, or college freshman manage ADHD, anxiety, or depression, alongside academics.
You'll find our framework, the Balanced Learning Blueprint, will be a key concept in changing your teen's academic performance. The framework marries learning and behavior science with good ole parenting to help teens develop academic excellence and emotional resilience.
(I jokingly tell my son that we created this framework together.)
I hope you find these resources helpful. Thanks for stopping by.
