Little Routines, Big Skills: Executive Function for Everyday Life
I’m going to be honest here, I’m a very routine-oriented person, but looking back, I’m not sure I did the best job building executive functioning skills with my three children as they were growing up.
During the summer, I had our days planned out: meals were prepped, the kids had routines, and I always included a little learning time. But the truth is, I did it all myself. I didn’t always involve them in decision-making or let them help with things like prepping food or managing their own time.
