Unlock Your Child's Potential: Everyday Strategies to Strengthen Your Child's Executive Functioning Skills 

Speakers: Carly Furino and Randall Klein 

Executive functioning skills play a crucial role in helping learners become more independent, especially at home. These skills include organization, time management, working memory, self-regulation, and problem-solving. By improving executive functioning, learners are better equipped to plan and complete homework, manage household tasks, and set and achieve personal goals. Strengthening these abilities promotes greater autonomy, as children learn to prioritize, stay focused, and manage distractions. As a result, they gain confidence in their ability to handle responsibilities, ultimately fostering self-sufficiency and reducing the need for constant parental oversight. This foundation of executive functioning skills helps children thrive academically and personally, both in school and at home. Learn how you, as parents, can help strengthen your child's executive functioning skills, foster independence, and obtain resources for further learning.
