There are times when a child just doesn't seem to want to do anything, and it can be incredibly frustrating for both the child and the parent.

Today, we'll be addressing this challenge and exploring practical strategies to support your child in overcoming executive functioning difficulties. By implementing these approaches, we aim to improve their ability to initiate tasks, stay organized, and manage responsibilities more effectively.
