Parenting with Impact
Ed Therapy vs. Tutoring: Skills Focus
Stephanie explains ed therapists teach systems, executive skills, and independence rather than only content remediation.
If homework battles and school stress feel never-ending, you’re not alone. This episode reveals how educational therapy helps kids build confidence, strengthen executive function, and become independent learners. Discover how small shifts, the right timing, and a coach approach can turn daily struggles into lasting success at home and school.
What to expect in this episode:
- What educational therapy is and how it differs from tutoring or coaching
- How empowering kids to lead their own learning builds confidence and independence
- The signs that show when a learner is ready to accept help and make a change
- Why collaboration between parents, schools, and specialists creates stronger results
- How educational therapy supports kids, teens, and adults struggling with executive function
