Parenting for children in care comes with unique challenges, disappointments, and moments where it feels like so much is out of your control. This training will give you practical, hands-on tools to strengthen your sense of agency and calm, so you can respond with confidence instead of stress. Together we’ll explore how staying steady in tough moments, taking small attachment-building actions, repairing after mistakes, and reshaping limiting beliefs can create lasting change for both you and the children in your care. You’ll leave with strategies you can use right away to feel more empowered, model resilience, and foster safety and trust—even when life feels unpredictable.

Building Executive Function Skills at Home
Igniting Your Mind
Nicole Rouleau is the founder of Igniting Your Mind and an executive function specialist with more than 23 years of experience supporting children, teens, young adults, and families. Her work helps families understand what is happening beneath challenges with motivation, emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, organization, follow-through, and independence.
Nicole’s approach goes beyond planners, reminders, and traditional organizational strategies. She focuses on the foundational skills that drive executive functioning, including self-awareness, internal language, inhibition, working memory, emotional regulation, and self-monitoring, while helping parents understand how everyday communication, expectations, boundaries, and routines can strengthen these skills at home.
Through coaching, parent education, professional development, and speaking, Nicole helps adults shift from simply managing behavior and getting kids through the next task to intentionally building the skills children need to become more capable, confident, and independent.
