Social media, access to a variety of potential online distractions, not to mention video games and concerns about bullying can baffle any parent. This book provides access to questionnaires for parents and teens, especially those with attentional and executive problems. The surveys can reveal possible areas requiring parental guidance and control. But, to me, the best part of the book is the direction it provides for parents on approaches to discipline without being preachy or condescending to parents. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smart but Scattered Teens: The "Executive Skills" Program for Helping Teens Reach Their Potential - Smart but Scattered: The Revolutionary Executive Skills Approach to Helping Kids Reach Their Potential - The Smart but Scattered Guide to Success: How to Use Your Brain's Executive Skills to Keep Up, Stay Calm, and Get Organized at Work and at Home --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/245180-smart-but-scattered-teens-the-executive-skills-program-for-helping](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/245180-smart-but-scattered-teens-the-executive-skills-program-for-helping) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
