Executive Function for Kids and Teens

CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 106

I’m so excited to welcome Dr Lynne Kenney on to the Calm & Connected Podcast this week. We chat about all things executive functioning and how sessions differ with children in comparison to teenagers. We kept the conversation on the lighter treatment side rather than all the science-lingo heavy side. I hope you enjoy it!! 

The topics we cover in this episode are;

  • What actually is executive functioning?

  • How young you can start teaching children executive function skills

  • How slowing down for kids can make them achieve and learn more

  • Different types of mindfulness practices 

  • How mantras can help

  • How little questions can have a big impact

  • How things differ from children to teenagers

  • Teenagers are human too - they want love, affection and to feel masterful

  • The importance of thinking about what other people need
