Is your teen constantly misplacing assignments, forgetting deadlines, or struggling to manage time? If your home is a cycle of nagging, reminding, and frustration—you’re not alone.
This workshop will help you understand the root causes of disorganization, especially when executive function skills are involved. You’ll learn what executive functioning really means, how it affects teens with or without ADHD, and why anxiety or depression can make it even harder to stay on track.
Walk away with practical, compassionate strategies you can use right away—no more power struggles, just real support that helps your teen gain confidence and control over their responsibilities.
After this workshop you will be able to:
- Recognize how executive function challenges impact organization, time management, and focus.
- Identify the difference between typical teen behavior and signs of deeper struggles.
- Support your teen without nagging, rescuing, or punishing.
- Implement evidence-informed tools to help your teen build skills for academic and personal success.
- Communicate in ways that build trust and motivation.
