Great book for those looking to build this into their curriculum.

So, I've read some sections and thumbed through others. Have not attempted any of these activities with our son (12yo) as yet.

I think "fun" might be a bit of a stretch. Interesting, possibly... but not fun.

It's an activity book about executive function skills, not bouncing on a trampoline or watching "Black Panther" for the first time. Know what I mean? No shade at the effort behind this worktext, and it certainly is approachable... I'm just not sure a kid who already avoids work he didn't actively choose for himself will ever consider this type of thing fun.

For now, it's in the summer tutoring stack (because our ADHD kiddo does not have the margin for such during the school year thanks to weekend homework). If/when we actually use this, I'll update my review.
