Why this works
Understanding ADHD & Executive Function
ADHD isn’t just about being “distracted.” It affects how teens plan, focus, and follow through on daily tasks.
Executive functions are the brain skills that help with:
- Organizing and planning
- Managing time effectively
- Controlling impulses and emotions
- Staying motivated and completing goals
When these skills are underdeveloped, teens often feel overwhelmed and frustrated, while parents feel like they’re constantly reminding or nagging. This program gives teens the tools to strengthen these skills—and parents the guidance to support them calmly.
Emotional Needs of Teens with ADHD
Teens with ADHD often experience:
- Frustration and overwhelm when tasks feel unmanageable
- Low self-esteem from repeated struggles
- Difficulty regulating emotions, leading to outbursts or withdrawal
- Sensitivity to criticism and a tendency to give up easily
This program helps teens:
- Learn strategies to manage stress and strong emotions
- Build confidence through small, achievable wins
- Develop resilience, turning setbacks into learning opportunities
Parents benefit too:
- Tools to support emotional growth without conflict
- Use clear communication strategies to reduce stress at home
- Model calm and focus: regulate yourself to support your teen’s growth
