Description:

This workshop will explore the vital role executive functions play in children’s learning, behavior, and social-emotional development. Together, we’ll look at how executive skills grow over time, what they look like in everyday life, and how they connect to social-emotional learning. Caregivers and educators will learn practical instructional strategies and skills-building methods that support children’s focus, self-regulation, and problem-solving. The session will also provide easy-to-use resources and tools you can apply right away—whether at home or in the classroom—to strengthen executive functioning and nurture student well-being.
