This training will cover how to implement the seven critical life skills related to executive function and offer strategies to help children become more organized and self-regulated. Executive function refers to essential mental processes for planning, organizing, decision=making, and problem-solving. Kids rely on these skills for daily tasks and academic activities. Strong executive functioning enhances mental and physical health, while poor skills can impact school performance, job stability, and social connections. Children with weak executive functions, such as those with ADHD, may struggle with organization and time management.
Objectives:
- Understand the role of the brain, especially the frontal lobe, in developing executive functioning skills.
- Learn the 7 essential life skills for optimal executive functioning.
- Apply strategies to teach and promote executive functioning skills in young children.
