#190: Supporting Executive Function: What to Expect at Every Stage
from Shining With ADHD by The Childhood Collective · host The Childhood Collective
Today, we’re diving into executive function skills, how they typically develop, and ideas to support at each stage. It’s critical to understand that kids with ADHD are likely developing executive function skills more slowly than their peers. As parents, when we understand what is developmentally appropriate for our kids, we can set realistic expectations and support their growth! MEET OUR TEAMWe are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. We’ve spent decades supporting thousands of families navigating ADHD. And we’re also moms: some of us raising kids with ADHD and some of us navigating it ourselves… which means we understand both the science and the real-life moments that don’t make it into textbooks.LINKS + RESOURCESEpisode #190 TranscriptEpisode #101: Introduction to Executive FunctionsEpisode #128: I Suspect ADHD, but My Child is Too Young for a DiagnosisPrintables6 Keys to Raising a Happy and Independent Child with ADHDExecutive Function Skills by Age blogThe Childhood Collective InstagramHave a question or want to share some thoughts?
