Introduction to the course: how to support executive impairment
When you see disregulation think “my child is finding something difficult, they’re not being difficult”
When you see escalation or shut down, think “my child is trying to tell me something but they don’t know how to”
When you see chaotic choices, scattered mind, half started tasks think “my child needs scafolding not scolding”
When you see unpredictable moods, think “my child is overwhelmed by something, how can I validate their feelings?”
When you see risky behaviours,
random choices, spontaneous
decisions, think “my child can’t see
the bigger picture”
When you see your child give up, lose
track, zone out, think “my child needs a
prompt not a prod”
