Why Parents Love Effective Students
Our Parents
Our parents are juggling the pressures of modern parenting—careers, household responsibilities, caregiving, and supporting a competitive learner, neurodivergent or struggling child—all of which can severely tax their executive functioning.
Many parents of students in coaching quietly wrestle with the same struggles their kids do and are looking for help to:
- Create household systems that actually work
- Manage the mental load and reducing burnout
- Learn communication strategies that support autonomy
- Strengthen self-awareness, patience, and resilience
- Build executive skills to model for their child and for their own peace of mind
Becoming a more confident, collaborative partner in their child’s growth journey.
Every parent wants their child to succeed, but many don’t know how to help when they struggle-this becomes frustrating. Our parents have learned to preserve sanity and improve relationships. The Effective Student™ Method simplifies what can be done for all family members to be successful; engaging them in their own learning, working smarter, not harder.

Maureen has been a great support with my transitions with elder parents, our older child entering college, and our younger child finding his independence. Sometimes the duties in a family can take over. Maureen helped me center my time for my own care, my professional goals, and my joy while allowing for periods of time when the family needs concentrated focus.
