Unlock Your Child's Potential: Everyday Strategies to Strengthen Your Child's Executive Functioning Skills
Speakers: Carly Furino and Randall Klein
Executive functioning (EF) refers to the brain-based skills that help children plan, stay organized, manage time, regulate emotions, and follow through on tasks. These skills are essential for independence at home and success in school.
In this workshop, parents will gain a clear understanding of the neurology behind executive dysfunction and brain neuroplasticity. We will provide practical, easy-to-implement strategies to support your child’s executive functioning at home—helping them manage responsibilities, build confidence, and develop greater autonomy.
Strategies covered include:
Mindset Shifts: Reframing how we understand the brain & behavior
The ABCDs: Establishing routines, breaking down tasks, and creating designated spaces.
Problem-Solving: Shrinking tasks to make them manageable.
Communication: Using predictable scripts and "soft landing" approaches.
Behavioral Support: Validating, reinforcing, and understanding behavior patterns.
