[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine met with EF coach once a week thru HS, and co minutes once a week virtually, in college.  At the beginning of the semester they go thru the syllabus and mark up a calendar with "to dos."  Then as they meet, they go through the to dos, and sometimes schedule out time (exam next Tuesday, need to complete readings by xx, study for one hour on Sat, review Sun, study Mon, exam Tues), or 10 page paper due Tues, when to do outline, start writing, edit, complete paper

I wish the skills to do this on their own were being taught, but this child/young adult will always wait until the last minute unless pushed.  And, with their career path, the job/s they will eventually have are doing things with/for others, so papers will not need to be written.  From what we've seen with summer jobs in their field and internships, they will eventually be just fine

Not going to lie, its a lot of $$ (all put of pocket), but if it gets them through college, it's worth it[/quote]
Thanks. Yes this kid is a procrastinator too but I think it’s tied together with being easily distracted and little EF skills. High school was more structured so he was okay. But he needs some more guidance to help him manage now.[/quote]
