Get to Know
Wayfinders™

Sometimes the behavior we see is only part of the story.

Join our free Lunch & Learns and interactive Parent Learning Labs to better understand your child's strengths, recognize familiar family patterns, and discover more useful ways forward.

A different place to begin

Before we ask children to do things differently, let's understand what's happening.

Why does one child argue while another shuts down? Why do the same conversations keep turning into conflict? And why can a bright, capable young person still have trouble getting started or following through?

Wayfinders begins with natural strengths, stress responses, and repeating patterns. From there, we explore how families can support regulation, create more flexibility, and develop executive-function skills.

First, understand the pattern. Then, support the shift. From there, build the skill.

Parent Learning Labs

Go beyond understanding the problem. These guided workshops give parents room to reflect, practice, ask questions, and take home tools they can actually use.

7:00–8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST)

LAB 01 · DECEMBER 9, 2026

What's Right With My Child

Start with what is working. Identify your child's strengths, natural tendencies, and the ways those same qualities may show up differently under stress.

Wednesday · 7:00–8:00 PM EST

LAB 02 · DECEMBER 16, 2026

My Buttons, Their Buttons

Understand why certain moments trigger big reactions in both of you. Notice how your responses affect each other and practice making room for a calmer exchange.

Wednesday · 7:00–8:00 PM EST

LAB 03 · JANUARY 6, 2027

Smart, Capable… and Stuck

Explore why children may struggle to start, organize, remember, or finish tasks. Learn to distinguish skills that are still developing from skills that are hard to access or apply consistently.

Wednesday · 7:00–8:00 PM EST

LAB 04 · JANUARY 13, 2027

A Different Next Move

Bring the pieces together. Recognize familiar patterns earlier, practice small shifts in how you respond, and choose practical supports that fit your child's needs.

Wednesday · 7:00–8:00 PM EST
