The frustration is real—for both of you! You know your child is bright and capable, and yet he or she struggles daily with organizing items, space, and emotions.

This 90-minute installment of the parenting series offers not only an overview of what underlies these challenges but also provides immediate tools for shifting perspectives from frustration to instruction.
