for all parents/guardians interested in learning about how to promote the development of executive skills in their children

Executive functioning skills are important tools for success in school and in life. This group will provide parents with information about executive functioning skills and how to nurture development of these skills in our children. Together we will explore expert recommendations and practical tips to support our children’s organization, time management, task initiation, persistence, and problem-solving abilities. Parents will have the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from one another through lively discussions. Each session will cover new topics, parallel to what is being covered in the middle and high school student groups.

For middle school girls ages 11-14

Facilitated by Cindi Lonick, MA

5-day small group for girls ages 11–14 designed to build authentic confidence during one of the most socially and emotionally influential stages of adolescence. Grounded in research on resilience, self-worth, social dynamics, and adolescent psychology, the group addresses topics including friendships, body image, perfectionism, assertiveness, emotional regulation, and handling peer pressure. Rather than relying on surface-level “self-esteem” messaging, girls learn practical tools for navigating social challenges, managing self-doubt, speaking up confidently, and building a stronger internal foundation of confidence. Sessions are interactive, reflective, and skill-based, helping girls strengthen resilience, emotional confidence, and healthy coping skills in today’s increasingly complex social world.

Children will learn and practice important skills such as communication, taking turns, active listening, managing emotions, and handling peer conflict. Through interactive games, role-playing, and guided group activities, participants will have opportunities to practice these skills in real time with peers. The group also focuses on building self-awareness, empathy, and problem-solving abilities. This group is ideal for children who would benefit from additional support in developing friendships and navigating social situations in a positive and healthy way.
