This 1:1 Zoom consult explores a simple conceptual model of executive function and a variety of flexible, age-appropriate tools and techniques to help parents:
- Understand the concept of self-regulation and its critical role in learning and life
- Organize environments, interactions, and a workspace that enables greater focus
- Implement an action plan that clarifies agreed-upon goals, actions, and shared responsibilities
- Explore software options that block or limit devices' access to distracting apps and websites
- Build bridges between supports at school/tutors and home
- Reflect on their executive function profiles and their impact on interactions, home learning, and organization
- Intervene more helpfully now, rather than putting it off until adolescence or later.
The single greatest predictor of academic success is executive function. It even trumps IQ."
