[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Maybe sign her up for an executive function crash course this summer?[/quote]

NP, but my senior with ADD and executive function deficits is flailing right now. Yes, there’s anxiety to boot.

Does anyone know of an “executive function crash course” that might be available for college-bound kids? My kid has a summer job for six weeks, but it’s not full-time, so she has some flexibility. Would be grateful for any recs![/quote]

My kids college had a 1 credit P/F EF class for new students. He took that and it helped a lot on the academic side.  But, the first semester, he still missed advising and registration for second semester and panicked.  I gave him some general advice about checking for pre-Reps and balancing a class load and pointed him towards a computer.   He ended up in a math that was too high for him and had to drop, and with too much lab science and an 8 am class.  Advising for next semester starts next week. I know because it is literally circled in red on the calendar.

It’s a lot.  My kids are ADHD and fairly self aware. So, I would just ask them if they knew they were in a hole?  And if so, why were they putting it off— anxiety, overwhelmed, whatever. Then you tell them to buy a planner and sit there while THEY go through email by email and enter things. [/quote]
