Parents of the Year

78. What are the key executive functioning skills to help our kids develop?


Listen Later

Unfiltered and unapologetic, Caroline and Andrew  kick off with a reality check - because let's face it, adulting comes with its own set of "joys." 😂  Yes, getting old sucks, and they're not as young as they'd like to believe they are.

After that, Caroline has a pop quiz for Andrew, where she wants to know how much he knows about Executive Functions. (SPOILER ALERT! Not Much!)

This episode's topic gives us a chance to drill down into what executive functioning skills are and what parents should be focused on with our kids.   From planning to self-control, we're uncovering the skills that deserve a front-row seat in our kids' growth journey. Tune in and join the conversation!
