{PRETITLE} Smart but Scattered Teens: The "Executive Skills" Program for Helping Teens Reach Their Potential {POSTTITLE}

Smart but Scattered Teens is a must for any proud parent of a teen coping with a learning disability. Unlike many similar books, it presents information and suggestions in a real-life, applicable manner. The authors present the material in an organized, readable, fashion, where a parent (or even a teen, for that matter) could read the book from cover to cover, or select individual sections most applicable to their situation.

The book also contains several hypothetical situations that many teens may find themselves in (think of speeding in a car). It then contains some interesting reactions, both from professionals and from real life teens, on how to respond, learn, and grow based on from such experiences.

Ultimately, if your teen could use a little, or a lot, of help developing the executive skills necessary to succeed in life, this book is for you.

A+

Simply put, this book breaks down the specific executive functions that teens with ADD struggle with. Then it gives you tools to help your child strengthen these executive function weaknesses. I'm not articulate enough to go into great detail but I have found this book to be THE most helpful book on ADD that I have read. I just wish I'd found the Smart but Scattered books earlier.
