116. Teaching Executive Function for School (and Life!) Success with Sean McCormick

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We assume our children will organically learn how to organize their thoughts and belongings, be able to manage their time, and more. Not true. In fact, if you thought about it, you’d realize that you struggle with this too.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We must teach these executive functioning (EF) skills to our children. In doing so, we can transform their family and school experience.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Sean McCormick, who was inspired to teach and coach executive functioning to empower parents and teens to be more organized, thoughtful, and goal-oriented. He shares how receiving executive functioning support impacts learners and families, why students with EF skills are more successful, how to have a family meeting about goals, and what educators can do when a student has a language barrier.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every human needs to have EF skills, and if we as parents and educators struggle with it ourselves (as we often do), bringing in a professional is key.
