  • Does your teen have difficulty keeping track of time, getting started on homework, or completing projects? Are you frequently dealing with lost papers, procrastination, chronic lateness, perpetual stress, conflicts?
  • If you and your teen are frustrated with these and other challenges and tired of struggling, join us for an interactive workshop presentation.

What can you expect?:


We will look briefly at brain development and see how unrealistic expectations can be behind some school and family struggles, especially in the area of time management.


Together we will discover how understanding executive functioning skills is a key to effectively helping students become more successful learners.


We will take the mystery out of executive functions by discussing twelve of them in detail, noticing which are your areas of strength and where you have challenges.


We’ll examine some tools and strategies to compensate for executive functioning skills that are weak or not fully developed.


Don’t miss this workshop! It is practical, educational, fun, interactive, thought provoking, and encouraging.
