Module 6: Preventing Adolescent Problems

Stop the 4–10 month slide into rehearsed habits by tightening structure before issues become ‘personality’.

How to use this module

  • Keep sessions short and stop while it’s still easy.
  • Protect sleep and calm first; training sits on top of that.
  • If focus drops, reduce difficulty rather than repeating cues.
