Join us to learn more about how applications are evaluated, changes in the admissions landscape due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and how an intentional approach to the college process can reduce stress and improve outcomes for the whole family. 

​Are you helping your teens and emerging adults more than you think you ‘should’ be? Do you find yourself dreading the end of a semester or wondering if your kid will ever get a job?

Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything by BJ Fogg, PhD

When it comes to change, TINY IS MIGHTY. Start with two pushups a day, not a two-hour workout; or five deep breaths each morning rather than an hour of meditation. In TINY HABITS, B.J. Fogg brings his experience coaching more than 40,000 people to help you lose weight, de-stress, sleep better, or achieve any goal of your choice.  You just need Fogg’s behavior formula: make it easy, make it fit your life, and make it rewarding. Whenever you get in your car, take one yoga breath. Smile.  Whenever you get in bed, turn off your phone. Give yourself a high five.

The simple way to learn how to create powerful habits that support the changes you want to make in your life.

Structure

Picture
The Perfect Notebook is my favorite disc-bound system for myself. This has more than I can use - I don't like how they've laid out the dailies, but I love their dot grid pages and create my own layouts from that by ordering refills. Only problem there is that my month-at-a-glance can't be by my weekly spread. But I am ok with that.

The best part of this, to me, is the discs allow me to add/pull out pages as necessary, so I always have pages for notes, and it's never overstuffed with old information. And I can move pages based on priorities, unlike a bullet journal.

Specifically for students, though, I recommend the Order Out of Chaos®  Academic Planner. The traditional agendas that my kids get at school are chock full of garish colors and the subjects are out of order for the day. With this one, you can customize the class list per the student's schedule, tab the months how you like, and they can plan out when they will have time in the evenings for studying. You can watch a video here for better information.    

Strengths

Other things I really like

Picture
I like these figdet toys for two reasons: they are quiet, and they are lightweight, so they can be played with inside or outside of a pocket without bothering anyone else. It's not easy to "accidentally" hit someone with these, even if a kids "yeets" it at someone, and it would take a lot of time to tear these up.

Picture
I really like the Ulla Smart Hydration system to remind me when I need to drink water. It will flash very brightly after it hasn't been moved, or at least tipped, for a certain amount of time.
Picture
When my son was younger, we couldn't figure out why he kept chewing his shirts, pencils, headphone cords - I wish I'd known about ARK THERAPEUTIC's line of chewelry (chewable jewelry) and pencil-toppers. Ark Therapeutic is a US-based manufacturer driven by occupational therapists who put kids' needs first. I know I can trust that the products are safe, and they have different hardness levels for different colors. I was able to put them to the test who prefers to fold them before chewing, and he really liked the brick chewelry that I gave him.

Picture
Tile Bluetooth trackers can save a lot of time and frustration if you or your kids are prone to losing things. There are three main types - the traditional Mate that attaches to key chains, Sticker for most anything else, and Slim for your wallet or passport case.
