Book Recommendation: Smart but Scattered

If you're supporting a gifted learner—or any child who struggles with focus, organization, or emotional regulation—Smart but Scattered is a resource I highly recommend. This book offers a clear, compassionate approach to building executive functioning skills like planning, task initiation, working memory, and self-control.

What I love most is how practical and customizable the strategies are. You'll find step-by-step tools that help break big goals into manageable steps, making it easier for students to succeed both academically and at home. It's an encouraging, action-oriented guide for parents and educators who want to meet kids where they are—and help them grow.
