Getting started on homework can be easier when the first step follows something a child looks forward to.

One approach is habit stacking: connecting a familiar routine to a specific next action. After school, that might mean making hot chocolate and popcorn, bringing the snack to the desk, then opening the planner and starting the first assignment.

The important part is the connection. Keep the sequence consistent so your child knows what comes next. Build it together, choosing something they enjoy and a first step they can manage.

Over time, that familiar routine can become the cue to begin.

Your child can explain the assignment. They may even know how to do it. Yet getting started takes repeated reminders, and finishing takes much longer than expected.

Understanding the material and managing the work require different skills. A student may need help deciding what comes first, estimating time, keeping track of materials, or returning to a task after an interruption.

Executive functioning coaching makes those demands explicit. At Insight Collective, we work with students to develop practical systems for planning, organization, and follow through, adapting them to the difficulties they encounter.

The aim is for students to understand what helps them manage their work and learn how to use that support.

How do children develop a sense that what they do matters?

At Insight Collective, we think about this often. Agency grows as children discover how their choices and actions can influence what happens next, with adults helping them understand and navigate what’s difficult.

Dr. Oren Boxer joined Rachel Kapp and Stephanie Pitts on the Learn Smarter Podcast to discuss agency and how parents can support it in everyday life.

The same result can come easily to one child and require enormous effort from another.

From the outside, we may see two completed assignments, two similar grades, or two children who seem to be doing well. What we don’t see is how much concentration, uncertainty, frustration, or help each child needed along the way.

A child can be doing well and still be having a hard time.

When we pay attention to how they got there, we begin to understand what the outcome alone cannot tell us.

A few weeks into school, you may be noticing a pattern. Homework takes hours. Getting started needs constant reminders. Your child comes home exhausted, even when the school day seems to have gone well.

A neuropsychological assessment can help clarify what is making things difficult, alongside your child’s strengths, and guide support at home and school.

At Insight Collective, Dr. Oren Boxer and our assessment team help families understand these patterns and plan what comes next.

A good coach notices more than a good punch.

At Brick City Boxing in Pasadena, Joe Hanks notices when a child works through frustration, stays with something difficult, or comes back ready to try again.

Our first Where Kids Find Agency spotlight explores Joe’s approach and the opportunities boxing training can offer children to recognize their own progress.

Does your preschooler want to play with other children, but struggle when it’s time to share, take turns, or follow someone else’s idea?

Insight Collective’s PEERS for Preschoolers group helps children ages 4 to 6 practice joining play, sharing, taking turns, and building friendships. Sessions include puppet demonstrations, role play, and guided practice with other children.

Parents attend weekly sessions too, learning practical ways to support those skills during playdates, at preschool, and at home.

Our South Pasadena team can help you determine whether the program is a good fit for your child.

Meet Dr. Oren Boxer, Clinical Neuropsychologist and Founder of Insight Collective.

For Dr. Boxer, the goal has never been simply to give someone a diagnosis or explain a test score. It’s to understand the whole person: how they think, how they learn, where they struggle, and where their strengths can take them.

That philosophy has shaped Dr. Boxer’s work as a neuropsychologist and the approach behind his clinic Insight Collective.

Because understanding yourself can change what you believe is possible.

From insight to agency.

Sometimes a child needs help making sense of why certain things are so hard for them.

Dr. Boxer shares a story about a child whose assessment helped him see himself differently, understand his strengths, and feel more confident about what he could do.

If you’re wondering whether an assessment could help your child, schedule a free consultation with Insight Collective. We can help you explore an assessment with Dr. Boxer or another clinician on our team. Link in bio.
