I struggle so much with my own executive function skills that helping my child feels like the blind leading the blind.

That's definitely very common! We recommend trying some strategies for yourself as well!

Thank you for your videos! I am a support teacher for children in foster care and these videos are so helpful in building a toolbox of strategies to develop executive functioning skills. I always recommend an OT 🙌🏽

I like to explain Executive Function as POSITIVE skills which stands for: Planning, Organization, Self-awareness, Initiation, Time-management, Inhibition, Visualizing outcomes, and Evaluating priorities.

Is the Zones of Regulation page you held up in this video available for free download, or do we have to buy it on her page? You're the second reference to that I've seen in the last week so it seems it's something I need for my boys :)

Hey there! While you can Google and print this handout, we definitely recommend the full program! With the full program you receive so much more than just a single handout! It's not one of our handouts, but we love the program so much that we use it a lot on our own!

My son got an after school detention for crushing smarties candy and acting like he was smoking weed. This was taught by his peers. The first time he pretended he got a warning. How can we curve that Talking to him doesn’t work. Can you explain it to me?

Is the metronome meant to be played during an activity as background sound or is the child supposed to perform a task at the tempo of the metronome? Thanks!

@HarklaFamily 2 жыл бұрын

Good question! The activity is supposed to be done to the tempo of the metronome. For some children, this will be very difficult to start with and will need to be worked on over time. If a child is having an easy time with the activity, you can increase the tempo of the metronome to increase the difficulty of the challenge!

Music is so distracting that I can’t concentrate on your words. I’m going to turn off the sound and turn on the closed captioning. (Auditory processing challenges here.)

Hi! Apologies for the distracting music! We have taken music out of our more recent videos!
