Using key principles from the business world, a unique guide helps teens get organized, stay focused and control their impulses. Original. - Baker & Taylor
Uses key principles from the business world to help teens get organized, stay focused, and control their impulses. - Book News
This accessible guide's color cover and many self-assessments will appeal to parents and teens. It offers practical ideas for teaching teens skills in areas such as organization and impulse control. There is great emphasis on changing parent communication. The book begins by explaining why some teens don't develop executive skills easily, for reasons such as ADD or depression. Numerous self-assessment instruments for teens and parents address not only executive skills, but also parenting styles and types of resistance to improving skills. Twelve chapters are devoted to specific skills such as flexibility and task initiation; each of these chapters contains a more detailed assessment questionnaire. Quote boxes show how real teens react to the example vignettes. Final chapters raise the possibility of professional coaching and the transition from high school. The book also includes an annotated list of books, magazines, organizations, and web sites. Richard Guare and Dawson are affiliated with the Center for Learning and Attention Disorders. Colin Guare is freelance writer with attention disorder. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - Guilford Pr
