Supporting Executive Function Skills for Success
What Are Executive Function Skills?
Executive function skills are the brain’s management system — they help us:
✺
Start tasks
✺
Plan and organize
✺
Follow instructions
✺
Pay attention
✺
Control emotions
✺
Shift focus and adapt
Why Do These Skills Matter?
When executive function skills are underdeveloped, children and youth may:
✺
Struggle with school performance
✺
Show more behavioural issues
✺
Be at greater risk for mental health challenges
✺
Experience more conflict with peers or family
The Good News
These skills can be taught, practiced, and strengthened — and we’re here to help.
