Ask Me Anything!

with School Without Suffering Founder, Laura Fragomeni

Calling all Parents and Caregivers of twice-exceptional teens and tweens with ADHD! Laura Fragomeni has spent her career helping children and adolescents manage their school-related anxiety by improving their executive functioning skills. This core set of skills, which includes emotional regulation and time management, aren't typically taught in school, and they don't tend to be the focus of parenting skills workshops. So where are you and your kiddo supposed to learn them?! How does a live virtual ask-an-expert workshop this Wednesday sound?

SIGN ME UP!

Get specific, actionable advice from an expert on how to best support your child

and find support in a group of parents learning to help their kids manage their stress, time, and energy.

When children are struggling, they need to learn to regulate their emotions so they can manage their time and energy to effectively initiate and complete their tasks. When kids have these skills, they feel better, and they do better at school and at home. And then they

  • get their schoolwork done
  • go to sleep and wake up regularly
  • eat dinner with the family
  • have the bandwidth to do their chores
  • talk openly with their parents again


Ready to add to your parenting skillset and make this happen for your child?

Join us Wednesday at 1:00pm PT/4:00pm ET to get specific answers about your specific situation.

Gaby

Laura and School Without Suffering really changed the academic game for my son. In addition she was able to keep me in the loop every step of the way. She really knows how to be present and support what the students wanted to accomplish- so they are invested in the outcome. I could not recommend Laura more highly.

Ericka

Amazing teacher that gave a complete insight to my homeschooler on how to approach math in a more positive way and greatly boosted my son's confidence in his approach to math.

Raichel

Laura is a gifted teacher. She is able to teach strategies that helps kids improve and grow in confidence. She effortlessly connects with students and draws them out. The sessions are extremely interactive and fun. Laura's organizational and time management skills are top of the chart. She was a blessing to my kid in helping her overcome her fear for math, given that my kid would not trust anyone with Math. Take Laura's classes, you will not be disappointed.

Jennifer

Great for my 2E learner. He says he has better ways of controlling his emotions when he gets upset. Reminding him of what he does well and that he has tools to help himself when he gets stuck and manage his schedule better. Laura is a great teacher. Very kind but firm and understanding with the kids. Highly recommend.

Sarah

Laura worked exceptionally well with my boys who have learning disabilities. She is very knowledgeable with strategies which allowed them to make progress. Laura is very kind, attentive, and encouraging leading to a successful learning environment. I would highly recommend!

Vanessa

My son has been doing so much better in math. The teacher is amazing. My son has been using some really great tools learned in this class. I recommend it if your child has anxiety especially during math.

Kristin

My daughter enjoyed the fact the teacher was very welcoming and non-judgemental. She felt that understanding how the brain worked in her fear of math was extremely helpful. Anyone who has any fear of math would benefit greatly.

Jennifer

Laura is so calm and encouraging with the kiddos. My son with both ADHD and Autism an struggle to stay organized. He is learning to use his online schedule and organizational skills to keep him ready for what is coming up next and to plan out time management throughout the week. This class will be a huge help.

Jay

Our daughter really enjoyed it and made great progress with her math anxiety!
