DescriptionResearch 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.

Life is full of stresses and challenges.  Children who are willing to take on challenges (instead of avoiding them or simply coping with them) do better in school and in life.
