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.
