A Parents' Guide to Helping Children with Executive Functioning This is a must-have book for parents of children from primary school through high school who struggle with: Impulse Control (taking turns, interrupting others, running off); Cognitive Flexibility (adapting to new situations, transitions, handling frustrations); Initiation (starting homework, chores, and major projects); Working Memory (following directions, note-taking, reading and retaining info); Planning & Organising (completing and turning in homework, juggling schedules); Self-monitoring (making careless errors, staying on topic, getting into trouble but not understanding why). Written by clinical psychologists, this book emphasises the need for a two-pronged approach to intervention: 1) helping the child to manage demands in the short run, and 2) building independent skills for long-term self-management.
