Have you ever watched your child struggle to start or finish a task, whether it’s homework, chores, or even just a simple conversation? Often, it’s easy to assume they’re being defiant or lazy, but the reality is much more complex. This may be rooted in executive dysfunction. 

Understanding that this is not an act of defiance, but rather a brain-based difficulty, is key to supporting your child in overcoming these hurdles. In today’s episode, we’ll break down executive dysfunction, how it impacts your child’s ability to focus, plan, and follow through, and most importantly, how you can help them strengthen these skills.
