"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.

together to achieve liftoff. Learn why brain-based executive skills

navigating the same challenges (including father and son Richard
and Colin Guare) reveal what kind of parental support is
productive--and when to let go.
