Your Child Needs Stronger Executive Function Skills.
Here’s How to Make that Happen in Less than 7 Minutes a Day.
If your child has executive function deficits, you’ve probably been struggling with how to help them.
They’re smart and capable, but daily life — for both of you — feels way harder than it should.
Kids with Executive Dysfunction (with or without ADHD) Frequently:
▶ Feel overwhelmed by even simple tasks
▶ Struggle with low confidence when they fall behind
▶ Appear unmotivated because they don’t know where to start
▶ Lack self-awareness about how their actions affect outcomes
▶ Become disorganized and lose track of responsibilities
▶ Are forgetful, even with important tasks
▶ Have trouble managing time, leading to constant stress
The Good News: Executive Functions Aren’t Fixed.
They Can Be Strengthened with Consistent Practice.
Executive function skills aren’t fixed traits. They’re like muscles: they grow stronger with the right kind of practice.
The challenge? Most kids never get the chance to practice them in a structured, consistent way.
That’s where the Executive Function Journal comes in.
In less than 7 minutes a day, this 90-day journal helps students build self-awareness — the foundation of executive functions — so they can strengthen skills like planning, organization, time management, flexible thinking, and follow-through.

What’s Inside the Journal?
The Executive Function Journal is a research-based, 90-day journal designed to develop critical executive function skills through daily and consistent use.
90 daily pages that build the cognitive skills behind your child's ability to:

Evaluate their own thinking and progress (metacognition)

Why This Journal Works
(When Other Things Haven’t)
Most approaches to building executive function skills don’t stick.
Planners get abandoned. Apps get ignored. Nagging creates conflict instead of progress.
The Executive Function Journal is different because it:
Targets the root skill: self-awareness. Every prompt is designed to help students notice their own thoughts, actions, and patterns — the foundation of stronger executive functions.
Builds skills through repetition. Just like muscles, EF skills strengthen with consistent, bite-sized practice.
Feels doable. One page a day, less than 7 minutes. No overwhelm; no resistance.
Is grounded in expertise. Created by Katie Azevedo, M.Ed., an executive function coach with 20 years of experience helping students of all ages strengthen these exact skills.
That’s why parents say their kids actually use it — and why students start to see real growth in independence, focus, and confidence.
