SOMATIC EF FOR ND TEENS (MS/HS)

Your teen isn’t defiant. Their nervous system is drowning.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ND TEENS

Most EF “strategies” assume your kid:

remembers things
can start when told
can plan ahead
doesn’t panic
doesn’t mask all day
hasn’t been shamed into oblivion
has a nervous system that isn’t fried by 10AM

So… not your kid.

Your teen is not choosing chaos.
Their nervous system is choosing survival.

Let’s stop treating shutdown like a personality flaw.

WHO THIS IS FOR

ND teens (11–18) who:

freeze when asked to “just start”
panic at the thought of a missing assignment
shut down after school
fall apart at night because masking costs too much
live in a state of sensory overwhelm
are labeled “bright but inconsistent”
procrastinate until it becomes a crisis
can’t plan or organize unless a meteor is incoming
fight or flight when someone opens the school portal

Also:
Parents who are exhausted and feel like they’re “nagging for survival.”

THE SOMATIC EF DIFFERENCE (TEEN EDITION)

Your teen doesn’t need:

stricter routines
more motivation
better habits
another planner
to be yelled at
to “be responsible”

They need:

regulation
safety
pacing
sensory accommodation
trauma-informed scaffolding
alignment with their brain
emotional decompression
co-regulation
EF systems built around capacity, not compliance

WHAT TEENS LEARN (WITHOUT SHAME)

✦ Task initiation that doesn’t require panic

✦ How to work in small sips, not big pushes

✦ How to feel their body before overwhelm hits

✦ How to pause without spiraling

✦ Somatic resets for school days

✦ How to manage time without freaking out

✦ Consistent routines for inconsistent brains

✦ How to communicate “I’m dysregulated,” not “I’m fine.”

✦ How to rebuild confidence after years of school-induced trauma

This is not about perfection.
It’s about getting them out of survival mode.

THE PARENT PIECE (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

Your teen’s nervous system doesn’t exist in isolation.
You co-regulate. Constantly.

Parents learn:

how to reduce pressure without enabling
how to communicate without escalating
how to stop the 5PM homework war
how to stabilize their own overwhelm
how to support EF without micromanaging
how to differentiate refusal vs. overload
how to hold boundaries without burning out

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO

1. Regulate First

We stabilize the overwhelm BEFORE we try to execute anything.

2. Map the Nervous System

We identify shut-down triggers, panic triggers, and masking fatigue.

3. Build EF Systems That Match Their Brain

Micro-structures that don’t collapse under stress.

4. Reduce the Daily School Load

We focus on real life, not fantasy assignments.

5. Support YOU (the parent)

Because your body is activated too.

HOW TEENS FEEL AFTER

less panic
less shutdown
fewer assignments lost to overwhelm
more stability
more confidence
clearer routines
better communication
more emotional resilience
less shame

And parents?
Way fewer night-time meltdowns and morning battles.

Your teen isn’t giving up.
Their nervous system is waving a white flag.
Let’s help them breathe again.

Philosophy statement and how this Equity Scale works

Green Bottle Equity Pricing

Because advocacy, regulation, and nervous system safety should never be reserved only for those with disposable income.

Many neurodivergent families and founders carry disproportionate financial, medical, and emotional burdens. Our pricing model honors that reality without gatekeeping, shame, or means testing.

You Choose Your Tier

There is no application.
No financial proof.
No justification.

You choose the tier that matches your family’s current financial reality and capacity.

Ask yourself:

“At what rate can I say yes to this support without putting my family in crisis and while honoring the value of the transformation I am stepping into?”
