How Parents Can Teach Their Kids the Skills to Succeed
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12th, 2025, Noon – 1 PM via Zoom
What is executive functioning and why does it matter? Join NYC-Parents in Action for a conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Michelle Chung about the skills that make up executive functioning, how they work, and how to cultivate them in young adults.
