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