This is a perfect book for the busy teacher or parent because its brilliant strategies are simple to utilize. The book makes sense of a confusing topic, and I think it will change lives.
INSIDE THE WORKBOOK
40 Activities. Three Skill Areas. One Workbook Kids Actually Use Themselves.
Working Memory
Activities that train the brain to hold and use information — the skill behind forgetting mid-task, needing instructions repeated, and losing track of multi-step directions. These activities close that gap systematically.
●
Repeating and recalling sequences of information
●
Following multi-step directions without reminders
●
Holding tasks in mind while completing individual steps
●
Noticing and correcting their own errors
Flexible Thinking
Activities that build the ability to shift, adapt, and handle things not going as planned. When a child falls apart over small changes or can't see another perspective, flexible thinking needs exercise. These activities provide it.
●
Adapting when something unexpected happens
●
Seeing a problem from more than one angle
●
Moving on from a disappointment without collapsing
●
Accepting that there can be more than one right answer
Self-Control
Activities that build the pause between impulse and action — the skill behind hitting, yelling, interrupting, and giving up. Not suppression. The trained ability to feel the impulse and choose what to do with it.
●
Stopping to think before reacting
●
Managing frustration without acting it out
●
Resisting impulses that would cause a problem
●
Choosing a response — rather than just having one
Every activity is designed for children ages 6–9 to complete independently — so your child builds real skills while you get your evenings back.
HOW EACH ACTIVITY IS STRUCTURED
Clear Enough for a 7-Year-Old to Do Alone. Deep Enough to Actually Change Something.
Each activity opens with a plain-language explanation of the skill — what it is, why it matters, how it shows up in daily life. Then a hands-on exercise that builds the skill through doing rather than reading. Then a reflection prompt that moves the skill from the page into how your child actually responds to the world.
Clear skill explanation — written for the child, in language they can actually read
Hands-on activity — the skill built through practice, not information
Reflection prompt — the bridge between the workbook and real life
These are not worksheets. They are brain training reps. The same principle that builds muscle builds executive functioning — deliberate, specific, repeated practice until the new pattern is more instinctive than the old one.
What Changes When These Skills Get Built.
BEFORE
- Frozen at the start of every task — needs you there to begin it with them
- Instructions forgotten before they've finished step one
- Falls completely apart when the plan changes, even slightly
- Reacts before thinking — hits, cries, yells, shuts down
- Gives up immediately when something gets hard instead of trying another way
AFTER THE WORKBOOK
- Can start tasks independently — without the daily negotiation
- Holds instructions long enough to follow them the first time
- Adjusts when something changes without the full collapse
- Creates a pause — enough of a pause to choose a response
- Tries a different approach when the first one doesn't work

Finally makes sense of behavior I didn't understand.
The perfect addition for parents and teachers who have children who need help getting motivated, organized, and feeling safe with their emotions. It named what I was watching every day.

Real content. Nothing filler.
Engaging and relatable to so many of the struggles both parents and children face daily. The content is meaningful and devoid of filler — a rare thing in this space.

My daughter did it herself. That was the whole point.
What sold me was that she could actually work through the activities on her own. That independence piece is everything when you already feel like you're managing too much. She picked it up. I could see a difference.

Building this into my curriculum.
Very good workbook for kids. I will be using this with my students. The activities work, they're age-appropriate, and the kids don't feel overwhelmed. Great book for building into a classroom routine.

QUESTIONS
Before You Get the Workbook
Straight answers.
Is this only for children with ADHD?
−
No. The workbook is designed for all children ages 6–9. Executive functioning is a skill set every child develops on their own timeline — and many children who have no diagnosis at all still have real, noticeable gaps in working memory, flexible thinking, or self-control. The 40 activities work regardless of whether a child has any formal diagnosis. That said, parents and educators supporting children with attention or learning challenges consistently describe it as one of the most practically useful tools they have found.
Can my child actually do this by themselves?
+
Yes — that was a deliberate design choice. The activities are written in language a 6-to-9-year-old can read and complete without requiring you to sit beside them every session. The workbook also includes a dedicated parent guide explaining what's happening in your child's brain at each stage and how you can reinforce the skills your child is building. But the workbook itself does not need you present to work.
My child avoids anything that looks like homework. Will they actually do this?
+
That's a fair question. The activities are practical, hands-on, and written to feel achievable rather than overwhelming — they don't look like therapy worksheets or school assignments. What tends to work: sit down with them for the first one or two activities, then step back. Once your child completes a few and sees they can, the resistance typically drops significantly. This workbook was built to feel like something a child can succeed at — because that experience of success is part of what builds the skills.
What age range is this really suited for?
+
Ages 6–9. The activities are calibrated for early elementary school-age children — the reading level, concept complexity, and activity formats are all designed for this developmental window. For children under 6, some activities may need to be done together rather than independently. For children over 9, the content is still valid but may feel less challenging.
How long does each activity take?
+
Most activities are short — designed to be completed in a single sitting. The workbook is not another assignment layered onto your child's school load. Think of it as fifteen to twenty minutes of focused, specific skill practice, done a few times a week, until the new pattern starts to feel normal. Short enough to actually finish. Specific enough to actually change something.
