Page 181 - Teach Not Preach: A Strength Based Approach to Executive Function Skills
P. 181
Life as a child with Executive Function Skill difficulties can be really
tough. It can be a genuine struggle to remember instructions, keep track
of time, stay focused long enough to finish a task and manage
disappointment calmly. These difficulties can so often be misinterpreted
as ‘bad behaviour’, when in fact the child would love nothing more than
to find things as easy as many of their peers.
Taking a strength-based approach, Kit and Alison provide a new
perspective on Executive Function Skill difficulties. Written in child-
friendly language, the book presents a fresh way of looking at the areas
a child may find hard and focusing on strengths. It is packed full of
information about each of the Executive Function Skills along with
strategies the child can try out to help themselves feel better and do
better.
