Ep 153. Child Struggling? Tasks, Homework & Planning Issues

Today I’m breaking down one of the most important concepts in brain development – executive function.

Ever wondered what executive function actually means? I’ll take you on a quick journey through your brain, from the visual cortex in the back to the frontal lobe up front. This is where the magic happens – where your brain develops the ability to make good decisions, plan for the future, regulate emotions, and “read the room.”

I explain how executive function is a process that builds over time, starting from the back of your brain and working forward. When everything flows smoothly, you develop into a powerful young person who can execute tasks, turn in homework, and make solid life plans.
