#38: My tried and true executive function formula you can use at home

Listen Later

Let's dive into my tried and true Executive Function Formula I use with students and parents with great success, and the coolest thing - you can use this at home.

This formula will highlight: 

>How to pinpoint and focus on the greatest challenge your kid faces

>What you must identify and remove in order to make change

>The mindset you must have as you work to guide your kid towards stronger executive functioning

Here's the thing: I think many of the education and psychology models you'll find in traditional talk therapy offices or public schools are largely outdated. There is an inextricable link between our nervous system and our neurological, biological, and spiritual health as humans. When you're looking at the surface behavior of anything your middle school does, be it:

  • yelling at you for seemingly no reason
  • or can't keep track of anything
  • or if they're super slow and always late
  • what you're seeing is the surface behavior, and underneath that behavior there are several other factors, like a ladder of skills or lack-there-of, that add up to that behavior.

    • As I share this formula - keep that in mind. What you see on the surface is not the whole picture. Head on over to elevatedadolescence.com/podcast to see our show notes and free resources with this episode. You aren't alone!
