Smart but Scattered Adolescent Workshop

A parent described her son to me, “Sam is struggling with school and his grades. This year in 6th grade he is struggling with the workload, executive functioning, and expectations of the grade. The demands are more. I constantly have to stay on top of him or he’d be failing.”  This mom was describing her son’s executive functioning weaknesses. He was smart but scattered. Executive functioning skills are crucial for success in school, social settings, and everyday life.

One Day Executive Functioning Skills Workshop for Grades 6-9

On Saturday, March 22, my team and I are offering an in-person one day executive functioning course for students in grades 6 through 9.  Your student can join us fun, interactive activities to learn executive functioning skills related to Organization, Planning, Time Management, Memory, and Attention. The group size is limited to 12 students.  We use classroom instruction combined with games, scenarios, and videos to illustrate points and practice skills. Students receive written handouts to keep which summarize the new skills.

How to Develop Executive Functioning Skills

Developing executive functioning skills is an ongoing process in adolescence, and teens often need instruction to improve these areas. Weak executive functioning skills can impact academic performance, relationships, and overall well-being, so interventions like workshops and coaching can be helpful if your teen struggles in these areas.

Adolescents face academic pressures, social dynamics, and life changes. Teens with strong executive functioning skills can handle uncertainty and stressful situations with more resilience. By understanding and supporting the development of these skills, your student can improve their ability to navigate the complexities of adolescence and prepare for greater independence as they grow into adulthood. Join us so your student can learn these important skills for success.

Students from our last workshop completed a course evaluation and commented they enjoyed, “The engaging activities.” “The skills it taught me.” “The coaches.” “How interactive it was.” “It helped me understand more about how to approach challenging things.”
