You Can Do It Yourself! How to Help a Teen Become Responsible and Organized

A deep and rich guidebook for parents of teenagers who struggle to focus, be organized, and follow through on tasks.
If your child is constantly distracted, procrastinates homework until the last moment, missing school deadlines, and rejects help by perceiving it as interference, saying "leave me alone" and "it's my life" — you are not alone. This book is about how not to give up, maintain contact, and truly help.
At its core is a unique support model developed in the 1980s, tested over time and updated to reflect modern realities. The authors, drawing on 40 years of experience working with teenagers with ADHD and other neurodivergences, share practical tools and approaches, explaining how to identify specific problems and choose optimal solutions. They believe that every child has strengths and weaknesses; it is important to learn to see and work with them — without pressure, with understanding and respect.
Who this book is for:
– For parents of children aged 8–13.
– For middle school teachers.
– For psychologists, social workers, and anyone who encounters problems faced by preadolescent and young adolescent children in their professional activities.
