Students with ADHD or dyslexia gain tremendous skills from executive function (EF) coaching. EF coaching can increase the rate of a positive transition into college and, ultimately, lasting success. EF coaching provides students with learning differences and ADHD guidance on how to set goals, get organized, and stay focused.
Teens are reporting greater levels of stress in their daily lives. Stress is a response to challenging life circumstances, and a significant stressor in teenage life is their social lives. A major task of the developmental period that occurs during the teenage years is finding a peer group and forming new identities away from their families of origin. Teens want to feel like they belong. Cultivating new friendships, maintaining older friendships, and the general task of building close relationships may be significant sources of stress for many teens. Social media apps add to that stress.
The fall athletic season, which kicked off at the start of the school year and continued through November, was a success in more ways than one. I was very impressed with our athletes' teamwork, leadership, good sportsmanship, and individual and team achievements throughout the fall season. Our student-athletes, as well as our spectators, represented Forman very well.
The best way to get to know Forman is to visit and see us in action. Our campus is in the quintessential New England town of Litchfield, Connecticut, a two-hour drive from New York City, a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Boston, and a one-hour drive from Hartford.
Forman re-launched the Athletic Leadership Council, whose mission is to promote and encourage spirit and leadership in the school community through athletics, this fall. The council encourages a positive student-athlete image on and off campus by creating positive involvement in athletics through participation and support of our teams, developing leadership skills, and giving back to the Forman community and beyond through service.
