Executive Function Coaching For Children

Every child can learn. BrainCog helps children struggling with behavior or academics. Personalized coaching, based in neuroscience, uncovers what is interfering with your child’s progress, then provides tools to overcome obstacles.

We believe every child can learn

When your child is struggling academically or with behavior, it’s normal to feel alone or that you are the only one dealing with this challenge. Families often tell us:

  • I've tried everything and nothing has worked

  • I don't know what else to do with my child

  • My child is smart, but he/she is just not getting things done

Every child has unique circumstances, but we see consistent patterns in children’s brain behavior. BrainCog's proven executive function coaching helps children make significant improvements – even kids in crisis.  
Working together with children and families, we set realistic, achievable goals to teach children to be productive and independent. BrainCog strives to:

  • Create harmony in your child’s life

  • Empower your child to be productive and self-reliant

  • Build long term solutions for use throughout life

  • Foster efficient learning skills

A Team Approach

Brain Coach Mary Turos coordinates with every member of your child's support team, such as doctors, school counselors, psychologists, and nutritionists, to ensure the best outcome for your child. With all care providers working together, we achieve faster results. We work with children in all locations.

Parents are part of the solution

We work closely with families in direct support of our students. We see the best results when families engage in the process and are ‘coachable’ and understand that change takes time.

Online course topics

*Sequence of topics may change

Module 1:

Executive Functions: Our Brain's Conductor

Are we really left or right brained? In this very basic overview of brain anatomy, we explore common myths and misconceptions of how the brain functions and why understanding how our brain works is critical to harnessing its power.

Module 2:

Sleep-Deprived & Goal-(DIS)oriented: A MYTH

We all know sleep is important – so why don’t we make it a priority? Learn how sleep impacts executive functions, what your sleep style is, and how to use it to maximize cognitive control.

Module 3:

Cognitive Control: Finding Your “Flow” to Get Stuff Done

Do you feel like you’re working more and producing less? Do you feel overwhelmed or losing motivation? Learn some tools to get to and stay in ‘flow’ to produce value for yourself and your work.

Module 4:

Hijack Your Brain: Recharge your Willpower

Do you have good goals, but lack the accountability and motivation to get things done? Learn to develop a work philosophy that matches your cognitive preferences for accomplishing tasks. How getting lazy sets the mind up for focus and productivity.

Module 5:

Anxiety and the Brain: How to Calm Ourselves for Maximum Achievement, Happiness and Harmony

How does anxiety sabotage? It doesn’t go away, so learn to make peace with it and override the fight, flight, or freeze mechanism in your brain.

Module 6:

Defrag Your Brain: How to Manage Your Mind in a Distracted World

We are all distracted and lack boundaries. It can feel we sacrifice personal goals for the sake professional goals. Technology is not going away, and our brains will never catch up. Learn to control tech and use it as a tool, rather than allowing it (and other distractions) to control you.

Module 7:

Never Good Enough: Cultivating a Growth Mindset

Adults get caught up in the mindset they developed during adolescence. Whether a fear of success or failure, we get stuck in thought patterns, and it is hard to break free. Learn ways to override how you speak to yourself and create new neural pathways to success.

 

Module 8:

Dropping the F Bomb: Failure is My Favorite F Word

Why do we avoid failure? If you haven’t failed at something you’re either lying or not trying. Why is there such stigma around the word failure? Learn why you should invite failure into your life and why failure is necessary on the path to success.

Module 9:

Myth of the 8-hour Workday

You can provide value in fewer hours! Most of us feel we’re working more than we should, but at the end of the day feel we haven’t accomplished anything we set out to do. Learn to use cognitive control so you can leave work at work and truly shut off. Constantly thinking about work zaps happiness and drains energy.

Module 10:

Executive Functions: Pulling it all Together

Setting your path for goals and accountability and becoming the expert of your own life. You have made an investment in yourself that most of the population isn’t even aware of. Congratulate yourself and feel good about being the driver of your own life.
