There’s nothing more frustrating than watching your bright, talented son or daughter struggle with everyday tasks like finishing homework, putting away toys, or following instructions at school.

Your “smart but scattered” child might also have trouble coping with disappointment or managing anger. Nonetheless, there is a lot you can do to help.

The latest research in child development shows that many kids who have the brain and heart to succeed lack or lag behind in crucial “executive skills”, which are the fundamental habits of mind required for getting organized, staying focused, and controlling impulses and emotions.

In this talk, Peg Dawson will share her knowledge on executive functions and teach you easy-to-follow steps to identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses, use activities and techniques proven to boost specific skills, and problem-solve daily routines.

All these small changes can add up to crucial improvements!
