Group chats, lockers, deadlines and drama: the middle-school brain toolkit. Every executive function skill for ages 11 to 14.

Instant digital download: printable PDFs. Nothing ships.

This is the Make Your Own Plan level: your tween builds, tests and tweaks their own tools, then teaches them to someone else.

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 helper on how much to help and when to step back, and a bridge page that shows the same tool one level down.

Also inside: how this book works, a skill-by-skill fit finder, speak-up scripts, cards to cut out and customize, a brain skill map, 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 Level Up 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 nobody ever loses a star.

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 20 of 32 in Brains Don't Come With Instructions.

A learning and support tool, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
