Highlights from RECONNECT #01 Restarting Life with ADHD (21 July 2023)

This is a preview video of the full recording. Please read on below on how to access the full recording.

✅ Why are smart or otherwise capable students not performing at their potential?
✅ How can you support your child and create a conducive environment at home/school?
✅ What can you do about motivating unmotivated kids?
✅ Is there a way to overcome resistance or pushback?

Seth Perler, Helping Struggling Students Shine, is a well-known Executive Function (EF) Coach, educator, vlogger, and guy who cares about seeing outside-the-box kids succeed. He is also an ADHDer who knows first hand, the challenges of dealing with failure, lack of motivation and regulating attention.

This video is an excerpt from a 1.5 hour webinar where Seth Perler shares about how to ensure that parents/teachers are able to build a good foundation for their children/students so that the latter buy in, and take ownership of their learning.

As part of our charity's efforts to be sustainable, there is a small fee of SGD$5 to access the full recording. You can register your interest at https://bit.ly/sethperlervideo and we will provide instructions on what to do to access the content. Thank you for your support
