ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Part 2 of 3: College demands a new level of self-management

In this episode of Thriving Kids, our clinicians unpack executive functioning and procrastination — and why struggling to start a task isn’t about laziness, but about skill development and brain maturation.

In this moderated conversation led by Dr. Morgan Eldridge with Dr. David Friedlander and Dr. Adam Zamora, you’ll hear:

• What executive functioning actually involves

• Why procrastination can become a cycle

• How brain development affects follow-through

• Why building these skills matters in college

College Readiness Toolkit

Our toolkit has guidance for teens — along with a section for parents — on how to get a strong start in college and manage this transition.
