About This Workshop

  • Does your teen have trouble keeping track of school work? 
  • Do they have a hard time staying organized, doing homework or managing their time?
  • Maybe they forget to write down assignments, don’t submit their work or even have trouble following directions? 

When kids have trouble keeping track of their stuff and keeping up with schoolwork, you want to help. But nagging, reminding, coaxing and punishing, as you’ve probably already discovered, really don’t help and can cause harm to an already struggling teen. Your child may have issues related to Executive Function Skills. 

Executive Function (EF) is a term we often hear, but what exactly does it mean? This workshop will walk you through what executive function skills are and how they may be impacting your teen. We will also discuss how executive functions, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and other challenges, work hand-in-hand. We will offer evidence-informed strategies your teen can implement immediately to improve academic performance.
