[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would he agree to use some sort of coaching service for this? Long-term planning is a skill he should work on. You may also need to let him fail a bit. He has showed you that he can do this when motivated. [/quote]

Why can’t the parents help with teaching the kids organizational skills and practicing it until they become perfect? [/quote]

I thought the same thing until we hired a coach! And now I see why it’s important to let coaches coach and parents be parents. It’s a team effort but having someone from the outside - the coach - step in and guide can really change the dynamic of the relationship in a good way! At least it did in our case. Things are calmer around here & our relationship with our daughter has been less tense since she’s started working with the coach. The coach has been helping her with organization, planning , her time management and so on. She’s more receptive when it comes from the coach not just mom/dad. It’s like your spouse can’t be everything - lover best friend, workout partner, caregiver, counselor, manager, emotional shoulder, etc. In some ways but it’s important to have other people in those roles too. Friends, family, co workers, neighbors, - that’s just my view. :) 
For my daughter the EF coach has been a game changer! For us too! Hope that helps. Good luck!

Do you mind sharing the EF coach information? I think this could be helpful for my son and we’ve been talking about the idea of getting a coach. Txs![/quote]

Not a problem. She’s fantastic and she came highly recommended to us by another parent. If you want to send me a message jjboon66@gmail (rather not post her contact information here) I’m happy to pass it on. Others whose child or spouse works with the coach all had nothing but positive things to say about her and her work. Good luck![/quote]
