Preschool STEAM and Executive Functioning continued

ΩLet us teach your child ways to improve their Executive Functioning Skills.

Controlled by the brain’s frontal lobe, Executive Functioning Skills are one’s working memory, control/self-regulation and cognitive flexibility. These three skills help the brain organize and act on information. They enable people to plan, organize, remember things, prioritize, pay attention and get started on tasks. They also help people use information and experiences from the past to solve current problems.

A strong working memory means you have the ability to retain fresh information long enough to able to do something with the information. People with strong working memories find it easier to recall and manipulate information they hear without needing to write it down.

Having control/self regulation is the quality that allows you to stop yourself from doing things you want to do that might not be in your best interest.

Having cognitive flexibility is the ability to switch between thinking about two different concepts, and to think about multiple concepts simultaneously.
