Paychecks, permits, schedules and a brain still building its brakes. Every executive function skill for ages 15 to 17, aimed at real life.

Instant digital download: printable PDFs. Nothing ships.

This is the Do It With a Guide level: you run the tools, and a support person stays close and gives a clue when you want one.

All 11 executive function skills, one chapter each:

  • Stop, Think, Then Go (pausing before acting)
  • Brain Sticky Notes (working memory)
  • Big Feelings, Steady Hands (handling big feelings)
  • Plan B Is Still a Plan (flexibility)
  • Stay Tuned (keeping focus)
  • Start Button (getting started)
  • Map It Out (planning)
  • Stuff Has a Home (organization)
  • Time Is Sneaky (time)
  • Stick With It (finishing long things)
  • Check Yourself, Speak Up (self-checking and asking for what helps)

Every chapter, same 9 pages: a chapter opener, the 3-step move, Watch Pause do it, a story, challenges, a printable tool, a real-life mission, a page for the support person on how much to help and when to step back, and a bridge page that shows the same tool one level up and one level down.

Also inside: how this book works, a skill-by-skill fit finder, speak-up scripts, clue cards to cut out, a brain skill map, a wins log, an award, plain-language research pages (every tip is labeled by how strong the evidence is), a FAQ, and sources.

Which level? Levels are about how much help you want today, not about age or ability. Most people use different levels for different skills. Not sure? The Launch Pad Set has all 4.

Built for every brain and body: speech is optional (say it, sign it, type it or tap it), every moving game has a seated version, and nothing is graded.

Details: Instant PDF download, US Letter, 116 pages. Includes a full-color version and an ink-saver version. For one family or one classroom. Book 22 of 32 in Brains Don't Come With Instructions.
