We all know social skills are important. I mean...lets be honest, even many ADHD adults struggle to navigate the social world. So I invited Caroline Maguire to talk with me about coaching neurodivergent children on social skills.

We drop a lot of great examples in this episode, as well as some very useful techniques for coaching your own child. 

I cannot overstate how impactful Caroline's work has been for my son and I. And how wonderful she is to talk to. 

You will hear us discuss:

• Everyone focuses on academics, when they should be focused on social skills
• A simple definition of executive function
• Metacognition explained
• What it means to be mentally flexible
• How to take a, "coach approach" to talking to your kids
• Why low self-awareness is a problem for children and adults
• Teaching children to recognize reactive behavior and anger in themselves
• Showing our children that friendships are active
