Have you noticed your child is struggling with managing their time, maintaining focus, taking initiative, working through a problem, studying efficiently, or even planning and prioritizing?
It may be that your child’s executive functioning (EF) skills are not as strong as they could be. The power of executive functioning is an extraordinary superpower to have inside the classroom and beyond. With so many distractions and competing priorities in this complex world, self-management skills are necessary for students of all ages to achieve their goals. Executive Functioning Coaching will empower your child to take control and ownership of their own learning and become better equipped to focus in the classroom, manage their time and homework, along with regulating their emotions. Strengthening executive functioning skills can help make life easier!
When should my child start working on these self-management skills?
Start them young with developmentally appropriate tasks and expectations. Because a child’s mind is pliable it’s important to incorporate these skills early and often. Eventually, these skills will become a natural mindset they will use in their day-to-day life. Soon, you may not have to ask them to start their homework or projects, because they will take the initiative to work on them in advance.
Is it too late for my child to begin working on executive functioning?
Nope! These skills and strategies can be acquired at any age and last well into adulthood and their future career. The best part about Executive Functioning Coaching is how it allows your child to discover their personal strengths and weaknesses which will help them be better prepared to navigate through life’s successes and challenges.
How do I launch my child in the successful and supportive direction of self-management skills?
We hope your takeaway was understanding that executive functioning is much more than just organizational skills. Executive functioning is a multitude of intertwined skills that are rooted in everything we do in our daily lives. EF can be broken down into specific individual skills that kids (and even adults) can learn from. For example, our team of seasoned professionals will help incorporate different skills of planning, organization, attention, time management, task initiation, working memory, flexibility, self-control, and perseverance.
