In this episode of the Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast, host Dr. Erica Warren welcomes back guest Kim Sorise to discuss effective strategies for building executive functioning skills during breaks. The conversation covers various tactics, such as actively engaging children in tasks like co-piloting during road trips, cooking, reading maps, and even gardening, to foster cognitive flexibility, planning, sequencing, and emotional regulation. The hosts emphasize the importance of stepping away from screens, playing games, volunteering, and integrating art into daily activities to enhance executive functioning skills both for children and adults.
