The book describes "executive skills" – which aren't skills that executives use, but rather a set of higher self management skills that are needed in order to be successful. What's so useful about this book is that it defines the different types of executive skills t help parents identify which ones their teens have or lack, and the book provides guidance to parents on how to assist teens in developing these skills. It's important to note that the authors encourage parents to assist teens but to also allow them room to fail because failure is one of life's best teachers. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"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.
