"I told you, I'll do it later." "I forgot to turn in the stupid
application." "Could you drive me to school? I missed the bus again."
"I can't walk the dog--I have too much homework!" If you're the parent
of a "smart but scattered" teen, trying to help him or her grow into a
self-sufficient, responsible adult may feel like a never-ending
battle. Now you have an alternative to micromanaging, cajoling, or
ineffective punishments. This positive guide provides a science-based
program for promoting teens' independence by building their executive
skills--the fundamental brain-based abilities needed to get organized,
stay focused, and control impulses and emotions. Executive skills
experts Drs. Richard Guare and Peg Dawson are joined by Colin Guare, a
young adult who has successfully faced these issues himself. Learn
step-by-step strategies to help your teen live up to his or her
potential now and in the future--while making your relationship
stronger. Helpful worksheets and forms can be downloaded and printed
in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. See also the authors' Smart but
Scattered (with a focus on 4- to 13-year-olds) and their self-help
guide for adults. Plus, Work-Smart Academic Planner: Write It Down,
Get It Done, designed for middle and high school students to use in
conjunction with coaching, and related titles for professionals.
