Topic: Executive Functioning, the Brain, and a Sense of Control.
You'll learn:
- Why a healthy sense of control enables kids to maximize the executive functioning skills they already posses.
- How parents can foster their kids' executive development while promoting self-motivation at the same time.
- Why "radical downtime" is so important for maximizing executive functions.
- How parents can serve as consultant to their kids with executive challenges rather as their managers, bosses, or task masters.
- Why parents should not work harder to help their kids be successful than the kids do.
- How taking a long view helps parents raise kids with executive difficulties with less stress.
