Dr. Peg Dawson, EdD, will talk with us about executive skills — what they are and why they are so important for our kids.
“Executive skills” — such as sustained attention, planning, organization, and persistence — help children succeed in school and, more importantly, to get things done in their lives. Some kids seem to acquire these brain-based skills naturally, but many struggle with them. Join us to learn more about how these skills develop throughout childhood and ways to help our kids gain these important skills.
