Executive Functioning Workbook for Kids

Love this book and has so many great activities to utilize as tools for kiddos! One of my go to resources! It also makes a great gift for school counselors and therapists!

Fantastic I’m even learning something new as well.

Great starting point workbook for discussing executive function (what it is and why we need it) with ADHD kids. Good for building vocabulary around executive functions of the brain and reinforcing the organization tools to manage ADHD. Pages are thick and are perforated for removal if you want to. It has stories/examples of kids that are organized and don’t struggle, and kids who do. I would recommend adding personal flair to the story of examples from your own kids struggles.

I purchased the Executive Functioning Workbook for my kids at the beginning of the summer to help them build their executive functioning skills. Each day, I read a chapter to them, and we would discuss it together. The book has great content and provides valuable guidance, but it just didn’t hold the attention of my 11-year-old and gifted 9-year-old. My son even commented that the term “executive functioning skills” sounded weird and intimidating. I think the title alone might turn some kids off, even though the material is very important. While it didn’t quite connect with my children, I still think it’s a well-done resource and would recommend it for families whose kids might be more open to the topic.

Love this book. Kid friendly. Using it with a student I tutor

Very helpful explanations and activities

I ended up giving this to my teen since the book I got for teens was too much for her. When you have executive functioning difficulties, some things that seem fine to most people can feel like a lot to you. I do wish there wasn't as much focus on school situations. Not every child attends public school, and not every PS student has to use EF skills in that setting. Many situations/experiences in the workbook do not apply. We've had to alter our interpretation from "school" to "life" (even though she does attend classes outside the home). I'm sure the book is great for PS kids, but I was really hoping for a more general, real world style workbook.

Got these for my grandkids to work on over the summer. They completed them and when they went back to school applied what they learned. Two got straight A's on their first report card and the other got A-B honor roll! I am very very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend!👌 ***Edit/Update*** All three made Alpha Honor Roll!!! 🎖

Great read and lots of information for people wanting to understand and learn more about Executive Functioning issues. Along with tools to counteract EF obstacles.

pouco conteudo

Excellent information for my 8 year old and helped me as a teacher get better strategies

This book has interesting info for parents and children. It seems to be a book you read with your children and try out the strategies as a team (to support and better understand what the ADHDer is going through) and not a ‘workbook’ that children/teenagers read and use on their own.

Workbooks aren't for kids. They aren't going to read this and diligently read/write. It may give parents/caregivers some ideas but kids aren't doing workbooks. Maybe teens will but not younger.
