One of the best ways to improve your child’s executive functioning skills is to learn what other parents are doing. Parents who have found successful strategies to target executive functioning skills often want to show what they have learned to others; and what better way to share with other parents than on Pinterest! What makes Pinterest so useful is that parents are not typically sharing the latest research. Instead, they are describing their own experiences and often can help you identify tools, classes, and strategies that can help your child improve skills such as organization, time management, planning, flexibility, working memory, and focus.
Our teams at South County Child and Family Consultants and lw4k.com are always on the lookout for the newest information to help kids with ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, and Executive Functioning difficulties. Pinterest boards on executive functions are one of the more useful tools that we have found. In our offices, we provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of children, teens, and college students. But beyond the confines of the office, we are well informed of the latest research and technologies that can help kids with social-emotional, attention, and learning problems. Check out our other posts to learn more about the latest innovations to help these kids.
