Executive Functioning

▶︎

Does your child struggle to keep track of their school work and keep their desk and room organized?

▶︎

Does your child have a difficult time sustaining attention and remembering to write things down?

▶︎

Does your child have a difficult time following directions and initiating and completing tasks?

▶︎

Does your child struggle to regulate their emotions or has a difficult time managing stress?

If you answered YES to any of these questions your child might be experiencing deficits with their Executive Functions.

What is executive functioning?

Executive Functions are the mental skills that we all use every single day throughout our lives to help us:

Make DECISIONS
Complete MULTI-STEP tasks
Stay FOCUSED while minimizing external distractions
TRANSITION from one task to another
INITIATE and COMPLETE tasks and assignments
Stay ORGANIZED
CONTROL our impulses

Research shows that children with stronger executive function skills tend to experience greater academic success, improved social and emotional well-being, and enhanced ability to adapt throughout their lives.

Executive function abilities are critical for early success in school and are an even better predictor of academic success than a person’s IQ.

As an Executive Function Coach I will:

Work with your child to help them learn specific strategies to improve their executive functioning skills.
Provide the tools and guidance necessary for your child to be able to succeed in the classroom and gain more confidence
Guide your child to help them develop the self-understanding to know which strategies work best for them and why, when, and how to use those strategies.
Collaborate with your child to help them identify their unique strengths and talents, empowering them to take ownership of their learning and personal growth.
Help your child recognize areas where they may need extra assistance, so that we can collaboratively develop strategies to address those needs.

By prioritizing the development of executive function skills, we can empower children to reach their full potential, both academically and socially-emotionally, and set them up for success now and for their future.
