Executive Function 101
Building executive function skills is a key tenet of adolescence, impacting your tween/teen's ability to do what they need to do and want to do throughout life. Learn the top 5 ways to boost your t(w)een's executive function now!
A lot of parents lose confidence during the tween and teen years because they don't understand how to connect with their kid in ways that work.
Do You Struggle With:
- Watching their confidence plummet or anxiety escalate and not knowing how to help?
- Responding with patience when frustrations, anger, or fear sets in?
- Feeling peace when you're lying in bed because you truly believe "my kid's gonna be o.k."?
- Knowing how to support them in managing increasing responsibilities?
- Knowing how to communicate in ways that open minds and hearts instead of slamming doors?
- Or, feeling lost with how to support them as they safely navigate the high-stakes world of adolescence (tech, sex, and substances)?

Confidence during adolescence comes down to 3 areas
These are my specialty
Parent-Child Relationships
The greatest predictor
Study after study shows the greatest predictor of an adolescent's success lies in the relationships they have with the key adults in their life. I guide parents in how to guide their tween/teen in ways they're both proud of.
Social-Emotional Wellness
True belonging
Finding authentic peer connections in today's tech-driven adolescent culture is one of the greatest challenges (& ultimate rewards) tweens and teens face. I support both parents & adolescent's in how to cultivate social-emotional wellness.
Executive Functioning
High-quality living
Building executive function skills is a key tenet of adolescence, impacting your tween/teen's ability to do what they need to do and want to do throughout life. I support both parents & adolescent's in boosting e.f. skills.
You're doing the best you can with what you have, and you both deserve to feel proud.
And, who says raising an adolescent has to be such a slog?
Here's why parents, tweens, and teens thrive
(& why they don't)
Most parents come to me wanting help in solving an immediate parenting challenge, or an executive function / social-emotional challenge for their tween/teen. Up to that point everything they've tried is typically missing one or more of these elements.
With me as your guide, I'll help you learn how to maximize your time and effort by making sure you integrate these essentials.
Feeling frustrated, worried, or overwhelmed doesn't need to be your norm!
#1
Get to the Root
I help you connect the dots between the source of the challenge and the outcome you want.
#2
Develop Framework
We identify the skills needed & co-create customized, adaptable systems to thrive at home, school, and the real world.
#3
Live with Confidence
You and your adolescent implement the systems and tools into daily living with greater peace and connection.
Let's be real, shall we?
Raising an adolescent in 2023 looks a lot different than it did in the 80's and 90's, but some things are universal.
I help you both build a toolkit that works for you and your values, integrated with the art, science, and soul needed in today's culture.
Over the last 17 years, I’ve helped hundreds of parents, tweens, and teens just like you. And, you know what I've discovered? This simple, but effective method:
Soulful Connection + Healthy Boundaries + Skill Development
= Thriving Parents, Tweens, and Teens
I’ve used this same 3-step method to help families create greater peace and confidence at home, school, and life.
Let's be honest; winging it isn't working. You feel increasingly disconnected from each other, and the stakes are higher each passing year.
'Is this normal? What am I doing wrong? Where did my sweet/confident kiddo go?! '...are likely consistent thoughts in your head.
But you both feeling good during adolescence doesn't need to be a far off fantasy, I promise.
I can be your guide.
Wondering what it's like to work with me?
Let these parents tell you.
“A dream to work with…”
“Ashley is a dream to work with. I now have tools that help me parent better and are returning joy to our family life. In only a few sessions we saw real change. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone!”
~ Karyn D.
“Ashley is my go-to resource...”
“Ashley is my go-to resource for much-needed perspective when facing sticky parenting issues or challenges. Each of my adolescent sons has expressed themselves in ways I didn't quite get. Through Ashley, I've learned new tools and ways of showing up that have truly worked. We're closer in tangible ways. I continue to learn from her."”
~ Steve C.
“Life-changing tools...”
“Ashley's coaching & teachings had such a profound influence on my son and his friendships - he was able to set boundaries in a way I'd never seen before. She's given us both life-changing tools and connections. I've been hopeful and more confident about middle school ever since.”
~ Nicole H.
"If you want your teen to tell you the truth, make solid, safe choices, and confidently roam the world with kindness, you must become the guide they need at home first."
~ Ashley Chandler
