Executive functions are the skills that help us prioritize tasks, filter distractions and control impulses. Research tells us that these skills continue to develop well into young adulthood. One skill that is important for our children and their learning is the ability to organise and plan.
Children who struggle with organisation and planning might constantly misplace things or forget to complete their homework. You might notice that they might take an extraordinarily long time to get dressed or become overwhelmed while doing simple chores around the house. If your child has difficulty with organisational skills, there are some evidenced-based strategies you can use to help.
