You Can Do It Yourself! How to Help a Teenager 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, puts off homework until the last minute, and thus falls behind in school, while also... rejecting help, perceiving it as interference, saying "leave me alone" and "this is my life" — you are not alone. This book is about how not to give up, not to lose contact, and to truly help.
At its core is a unique support model developed back 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 and explain how to identify specific problems and select optimal solutions. They believe that every child has strengths and weaknesses; it is only 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 years.
– For middle school teachers.
– For psychologists, social workers, and anyone who, in their professional activity, encounters issues faced by preadolescent and younger adolescent children.
