KEY MESSAGES:

▪ Executive Function skill differences is frequently at play when a

child struggles.

▪ It is crucial that all adults caring and supporting children know

Executive Functions well.

▪ It is crucial that children understand these skills too. Why?

Because it is hard to change something you do not understand.

▪ We can help children to build Executive Function skills and to

scaffold those areas which are harder to change (e.g. Working

Memory).
