DescriptionDescription
Research shows that executive function skills affect school readiness, school success, college graduation rates, work and life success; and these skills can be taught and encouraged at any age.  These monthly sessions (2 hour information session with a 1 hour "coaching" follow up session) focus on fun, everyday activities, including using children's books, that educators and providers can use to promote and support the development of an essential executive function skill.  Perspective Taking goes far beyond empathy: it involves figuring out what others think and feel, and forms the basis of children understanding the intentions of their parents’, teachers’ and friends.  Children who can take others’ perspectives are also much less likely to get involved in conflicts.

Objectives
Increase understanding of the link between perspective taking and decreasing conflict situations
Learn techniques to help children figure out what others think and feel
Explore aspects of perspective taking that go far beyond empathy
