Executive Functioning Tips and Tricks to Implement at Home S2E28 #63

In this third episode of their executive functioning series, Dr. Vivian Carlin and Dr. Sylvia Bank focus on practical, real-life strategies parents can use to strengthen skills like planning, working memory, flexibility, and self-control. Drawing from both their clinical and parenting experience, they share simple tools—from board games and audiobooks to chores and daily routines—that help kids practice these skills in low-pressure, everyday ways, especially children with ADHD.

They also talk about gradually transferring responsibility, coaching kids through social and organizational challenges, being intentional about screen use, and remembering that executive functioning develops slowly over time. This episode offers clear, manageable next steps for parents who want to better support their child’s growth at home.
