you may be noticing:
Organizational challenges:
Organizational challenges are common among high school & college students. Balancing coursework, extracurricular activities, and social life can be overwhelming. Poor time management, procrastination, and lack of prioritization are some of the main culprits. However, with proper planning and discipline, these challenges can be overcome.
Time management challenges:
High school and college students often struggle with time management due to poor executive function skills. These challenges can include difficulty prioritizing tasks, procrastination, and poor organization. Without effective time management skills, students may struggle to meet deadlines and achieve academic success.
Academic challenges:
Executive function skills are essential for academic success, but many high school and college students struggle with them. These skills include planning, organization, time management, and self-regulation. When students have difficulty with executive function, they may struggle to complete assignments, meet deadlines, and manage their time effectively. This can lead poor grades, stress, and frustration. It's important for educators and parents to recognize the challenges associated with executive function and provide support and resources to help students develop these skills.
Self-care challenges:
Self-care challenges associated with executive function skills can be particularly difficult for high school and college students. These may include difficulties with planning, organization, time management, and prioritization which can make it hard to establish and maintain healthy self-care habits. Additionally, students may struggle with regulating their emotions and managing stress, which can further impact their ability to engage in self-care activities.
