Supporting Students with Executive Functioning
Executive functioning skills are critical to teaching your child because strong executive functioning skills directly correlate to a child’s ability to learn. This information comes from the Center for the Developing Child at Harvard University in an article entitled “Enhancing and Practicing Executive Function Skills with Children from Infancy to Adolescence.”
The article discusses the three basic parts of executive functioning, some key facts about executive functioning as well as a comprehensive list of games and ideas for how to help your child develop their executive functioning skills. Additionally, each section offers a comprehensive list of resources if you would like to get more information.
