[podcast] Dr. Robyn Silverman
Dr. Robyn Silverman had me on her podcast last week, and we had a great talk called “How to Help Kids Who Struggle with Executive Function Skills in School and in Life with Seth Perler.” Here’s some of what we covered:
- What is executive function?
- Why executive function is not something we are helping ALL kids to master
- How do we know executive function is an issue?
- What are the common mistakes key adults make in the lives of kids who have trouble with executive functioning?
- What can the key adult—the parent, teacher or coach- say to this child to help him understand that this story he’s been telling himself is not true?
- What can we do to help kids who are struggling with executive function?
- What are some strategies that help kids get from point A to point B?
- What are some key ways that we can help kids understand themselves and their brains?
