As a neurodevelopmental doctor with three decades of experience, I've seen firsthand how parents struggle with children who can't focus, plan ahead, or stay motivated. The most important thing I want you to understand is this: executive function doesn't just magically appear - it develops through specific stages from the very beginning of life.

In today's episode, I explore the fascinating journey of how your child's brain develops the ability to think, plan, and focus. So many parents ask me, "Why can't my child just sit still and concentrate?" The answer lies in understanding their developmental blueprint.
