Before ABC's and 1,2,3's Building Executive Functioning in Children: Discover Seven Super Skills That Will Help Kids Unlock Their Potential in the ... A Practical Guide for Parents and Teachers - Brossura
Sinossi
Beginning school is a major milestone for parents and children. As parents, we want to do all that we can to prepare our kids so they can have the best possible start. Many of us will teach our kids the alphabet and how to count to 20 to get our children ready for school. But what if we are missing something more important than teaching our kids academic skills? What if there were a set of skills we should be focusing on before we teach ABCs and 1,2,3’s? What if I told you that as an Early Childhood educator with twenty-six years of experience, there are skills that are more critical for your child to learn before they begin school? This is why I wrote this book. To spread awareness of how important executive function skills are and how parents and educators can teach these skills explicitly to give kids the best opportunity to get the most out of their school day and their lives!
How many of you experience this scenario with your kids and students on a daily basis?
- Your 7-year-old won’t stop crying in public because you told her that you needed to cancel her trip to the zoo
- Your teenage son is constantly cramming and struggling to keep up with deadlines
- Your daughter is having a hard time prioritizing her projects and ends up doing nothing
Let's face it, these are all scenarios that we are all too familiar with….
This might be understandable behavior while they’re still young, but if they continue to struggle with these issues as they grow older, they might find it harder to succeed as adults.
That’s why executive function skills are so important. They enable us to function independently and manage our lives without having to be told what to do. The sooner your child develops these skills, the sooner they’ll be able to control their behavior and accomplish their goals. But as much as you want to help your child reach their full potential and thrive in life, it can be difficult to figure out where to start.
This book will give you the start you’re looking for. It focuses on the 7 essential skills to develop executive function and shows you how to hone each skill in your child. Filled with practical tips, helpful exercises, and lots of encouragement, it will give your child exactly what they need to become more independent.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- The 7 skills necessary to build executive functioning in your child to help them thrive in life and excel in school
