Beyond BookSmart CEO Michael Delman Featured on Good Morning America
May 23 2024 - 12:54PM
Beyond BookSmart, the nation’s leading executive function coaching
company, announced that its CEO, Michael Delman, was featured today
on ABC’s Good Morning America in a two-part segment, “The New
Gender Gap: Keeping High School Boys on Task”. The segment detailed
how stronger executive function skills are an effective solution
for many of the challenges young men are facing in today's world.
An author, entrepreneur and award-winning educator, Delman
served as a resource for families seeking strategies to help their
students stay focused, manage time, and plan effectively to
accomplish goals.
When Good Morning America asked about the learning and life
management challenges boys can experience, Delman offered, “One of
the big challenges for boys is procrastination. Sometimes in the
boys’ minds, it’s about being bored, but what’s often going on is
there's a lot of stress. That stress leads to avoidance and
unfortunately, that avoidance leads to more stress.”
Delman continued, “When they’re really little, what kids need is
the skill of impulse control, which means learning how to tolerate
a ‘no’. As they get older, it’s about learning to follow routines.
In middle school, it’s about attention and managing distractions.
By the time they’re in high school and college, it’s being able to
independently understand where it’s worth spending time, meaning
prioritizing and then completing the job.”
