Does your class need to press the "reset button" to start the academic year with motivation and focus? This 14-activity workbook (+ 2 bonuses) is designed specifically for teenagers (Secondary School and Sixth Form / Key Stages 3, 4 & 5).

It is the perfect resource for Form Time, Pastoral Care, or PSHE. It helps students clear their minds, train their executive functioning skills, and build daily routines that promote academic success and personal wellbeing. Through engaging analogies relevant to their daily lives (such as the "Daily Battery", the "Habit Loop", or a "Video Game" level), students will transform frustration and a fixed mindset into resilience and concrete action plans.
