Parents of High School Seniors
CollegeEQ
We provide parents with practical tools and strategies to prepare their high school seniors for college success. We cover everything from learning basic life skills like laundry to navigating campus resources. We also focus on what matters most for academic success such as time management, organization skills, and self advocacy so students are ready for increased independence on day one.
Parents of College Students
CollegeEQ
As experts in student development theory, we help families foster independence, motivation, and the skills students need to reach their full potential. We coach parents on supporting students with ADHD, executive function challenges, and a lack of internal motivation. As challenges arise, we're in your corner helping you each step of the way.
Parents of Struggling Young Adults
We support parents of struggling young adults who have taken a break from college or faced academic setbacks and now feel stuck and unsure of what to do next. Through parent coaching, we help families shift from worry and frustration to clarity, structure, and forward momentum. Our approach focuses on rebuilding confidence, motivation, and independence so young adults can take meaningful next steps.

College Student Development
Student development theory provides a framework for coaches, educators, and counselors to understand the progression of a student's skills, abilities, and maturity as a result of their experiences in higher education.
For example, Nevitt Sanford’s theory of challenge and support shows that students grow best when they experience a healthy balance of both. Too much challenge without support causes stress; too much support without challenge leads to disengagement, and ultimately poor executive functioning skills. Growth happens in the middle - the discomfort - the leap forward in skill development happens when the student can use their working memory to remember the success they had when they overcame the challenge.
