Hello Reader,
I’m pleased to share this month’s featured episode of The Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast! This episode highlights the growing executive functioning challenges facing today’s students and explores practical ways parents, educators, and professionals can better support success.
🎙️ Episode 102: Building Executive Functioning Skills over the Summer & Breaks
Episode Overview
In this episode, Dr. Erica Warren welcomes her business partner, executive functioning coach, and educational therapist Nancy Platt Dawud to discuss how parents can build executive functioning skills over the summer. They balance the need for structure with the benefits of unstructured time, boredom, creativity, and frustration tolerance. Practical strategies include involving kids in planning and organization; outdoor activities and games that strengthen working memory, inhibition, flexibility, logic, and spatial skills; reading supports such as graphic novels and audiobooks paired with text; and real-life skill builders like cooking, travel prep, packing lists, map reading, visual schedules, and small “chunked” routines. Throughout, they caution against overscheduling and overhelping.
