Why do some people find Control Centre
Skills harder than other people?
2. Not having the right experiences to create
strong brain pathways:
New pathways are built in children’s brains when they
spend time talking, listening, reading stories, visiting new
places and enjoying activities such as jigsaw puzzles,
painting, games and sports.
Some children do not get the right help and experiences
they need to build strong pathways in their brain.
This then means they find some of the Control Centre
Skills like focusing attention and thinking flexibly MUCH
harder.
But it’s never too late!
If you practise these skills
now, you can build new
pathways.
