Parents, this is your child’s brain in school.
Believe it or not, your child’s brain is trying really hard to keep up in school! There are many underlying processes in the brain that contribute to classroom success, they’re called executive functioning skills. Executive functioning skills are a set of cognitive
processes that serve as the brain’s command center, allowing individuals to plan, organize, initiate, manage time, pay attention, and adapt to changing circumstances.
These skills are the foundation for effective self-regulation and goal-directed behavior, making them crucial for classroom success. Students with well-developed executive functioning skills are better equipped to focus on tasks, set and achieve academic goals, and navigate the complex demands of a classroom environment.
At Brain Balance, we understand what's going on in the brain when a child has trouble with executive function skills.
In this guide, you will gain an understanding of executive
functioning skills, how they develop in the brain, and
how to help your child lay the groundwork for success.
