Description

Help your teen turn “I’ll do it later” into real progress—one simple, hands-on activity at a time.

You know your teen is capable. But knowing what to do and actually doing it can feel like two completely different things.

Does your teen put off assignments until the last minute? Are missed deadlines, unfinished homework, distractions, and disorganization affecting their grades and confidence? Do you find yourself constantly reminding, checking, or stepping in just to keep things from falling apart?

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Many bright and capable teens struggle with the executive functioning skills needed to start tasks, manage time, stay focused, regulate emotions, remember responsibilities, and follow a plan. Often, they simply need a clear system and repeated opportunities to practice it.

The Simple Executive Functioning Workbook for Teens helps close the gap between knowing and doing.

Built around the practical 7 Power Moves framework, this workbook breaks essential skills into manageable, hands-on activities teens can apply to real high school challenges. Instead of overwhelming them with more advice, it helps them take action, experience small wins, and build habits that last.

Here’s just a glimpse of what your teen will discover inside:

  • 80+ hands-on activities that turn executive functioning skills into practical habits for school, home, and everyday life.
  • A simple, step-by-step system built around the 7 Power Moves, covering time management, memory, organization, focus, emotional regulation, procrastination, and support.
  • Practical exercises to help teens stop procrastinating, start assignments sooner, and break overwhelming projects into manageable next steps.
  • Planners, time-blocking pages, trackers, checklists, and weekly challenges that make deadlines and responsibilities easier to manage.
  • Focus, memory, and organization tools for managing distractions, keeping track of homework and materials, and building productive routines.
  • Emotional regulation and growth mindset activities that help teens manage stress, recover from setbacks, celebrate progress, and become more resilient and independent.
  • Guided activities that teach teens when and how to ask parents, teachers, mentors, or friends for support.
  • BONUS: Executive Function Toolkit—25 Reusable Printable Worksheets for planning, focus, productivity, emotional well-being, and continued progress.

“My teen has already tried planners, productivity books, and organization systems. How is this different?”

This workbook does not give teens another long list of things they “should” be doing. The simple, practical 7 Power Moves framework gives them one clear system they can begin applying right away.

Each activity focuses on one manageable skill and helps teens apply it to situations they actually face—starting homework, remembering deadlines, managing distractions, handling stress, and asking for support. Every completed activity creates a small win. Over time, those small wins can lead to calmer routines, fewer last-minute crises, greater confidence, and increased independence.

The workbook can be used on its own or alongside Executive Functioning Skills for Teens Simplified. The earlier book explains the ideas and strategies; this companion workbook helps teens put the 7 Power Moves into action through guided practice.

Whether you are a parent, teacher, counselor, coach, or youth mentor, this workbook gives you a practical way to support a teen without constantly reminding, rescuing, or micromanaging.

Help your teen move from overwhelm to action—and build the focus, confidence, and independent habits needed for high school success and beyond. Scroll up and click “Add to Cart” today.

Advance Praise

I'll start studying, but after five minutes I'm doomscrolling through TikTok. My parents got me this book, and I wasn't sure it would be helpful. It took a while to read, but its been a great help. I'd recommend it to others that put stuff off. (Dervilla - teen)

“The exercises, checklists, and real-life scenarios turn executive functioning into simple, doable action. It’s a practical toolkit—not a lecture—and its focus on small wins helps teens build independence and resilience.” (Sandra K., works with young people)

“My teens connected with the examples and actually used the tools. The planners were especially helpful, and the parent guidance showed me how to support them without nagging.” (Joan, mother of teens)

“The short, practical sections gave my teen tools he could actually use. He began planning ahead and managing his time with less hovering, creating a small but meaningful shift in school stress.” (ShineVibes, parent of a teen)

“The visuals, activities, scripts, and step-by-step processes are well suited to teens and useful for counselors and parents working alongside them.” (Samantha H., adolescent counselor and mother of a teen)
