From selective forgetting to spotlight-seeking behavior, we’ll tackle the complexities of their world and share ways to transform obstacles into opportunities for growth. Perfect for educators, parents, and anyone who’s ready to help these kids shine.

6. When Procrastination Hits the Panic Button Procrastination isn’t just a bad habit for high-risk students—it’s a full-blown coping strategy. The longer they delay, the longer they can avoid confronting their fears of inadequacy. Of course, this usually ends with a last-minute scramble and subpar results.

The solution? Help them break tasks into smaller, less intimidating chunks. Celebrate progress, no matter how small. With time and support, they’ll learn that starting isn’t as scary as it seems.
