Is your teen bright, capable, and full of potential—yet constantly overwhelmed, disorganized, or stuck in cycles of procrastination and frustration?

You're not alone. And more importantly, you're not doing anything wrong.

In Executive Function Skills for Teens, veteran educator and student success coach Adam Wurst provides parents with a clear, compassionate roadmap to help teens develop the essential skills needed to succeed in school and life. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience working with teens, families, and educators, this book reframes executive functioning not as a deficit, but as a set of teachable, coachable skills that develop over time.

Rather than relying on punishment, pressure, or constant reminders, this guide helps parents shift into the role of coach—someone who builds routines, strengthens habits, and restores confidence while maintaining connection and trust.

Inside, you'll learn how to help your teen:

• Build organization, time management, and follow-through
• Improve focus, planning, and task initiation
• Regulate emotions during stress, setbacks, and academic pressure
• Develop independence without power struggles or micromanaging
• Strengthen motivation, confidence, and ownership of learning

Whether your teen struggles with ADHD, anxiety, inconsistent motivation, or simply hasn't yet developed strong executive function skills, this book offers practical strategies, real-world examples, and parent-friendly language that make complex concepts accessible and actionable.

This is not a quick-fix system or a one-size-fits-all solution. It is a steady, skill-building approach designed to support long-term growth—academically, emotionally, and socially—while strengthening the parent-teen relationship along the way.

Take the first step from frustration to clarity. Listen today and start building the skills that support your teen's long-term success.
