63: Executive Function, What Is It and How to Help Your Child With It with Seth Perler


Listen Later

In this episode today you'll learn all about executive functioning, which sounds like a fancy term, but it if you have a child who struggles with homework, grades, resistance, overwhelm, motivation, procrastination, underachievement, organization, focus, study skills and time management, executive function could be at the core of what they are missing. 

 

Seth Perler, executive function coach talks about how executive function is the root of so many problems that can look like "laziness, defiance, or disorganization." As we know, behavior is always a sign to look for the deeper root, so if you have a child who struggles in any of these areas, this episode is definitely for you. 

 

Here you'll learn;

  • The difference between "can't" and "won't" when it comes to following rules or keeping up with tasks
  • How to ask better questions to get to the true root of what is holding our kids back
  • How a parent can tell if executive function is the true root of their child's behaviors
  • How to help your child start to work on executive function skills in a way that doesn't overwhelm them (or you)
