Parents have often come to me wanting me to teach their kid how to be organized, how to get good grades, or simply do what they need to do without breaking down or talking back. In other words - the executive functioning skills that demonstrate they are able to be the "boss" of their lives. But wanting to jump into these higher level skills first is what I call "the big executive function misconception" Listen in to learn: > the neuroscience behind what's really going on > how you could be blocking their inner "boss" > & what has to happen 100% of the time before they can be the boss of their life Here's to elevating each and every kid to be a confident, kind human.
