Important Early Skills
The foundations of early brain building include the early development of
important ‘Executive Function’ skills.
These include skills such as memory, thinking speed, flexible thinking, attention
control, impulse control and emotional and energy regulation.
Children need these Thinking Skills all the time.
We need them to:
▪ Learn in lessons and complete homework
▪ Enjoy activities outside of school
▪ Make friendships and get on with others
▪ Manage when things go wrong.
