✨ Executive function skills are key for success in everyday life!

Our children use their executive function skills for things like:
👉 Playing with friends
👉 School work
👉 Chores
👉 Daily routines
👉 Emotional regulation

These skills are developed throughout adolescence and can be taught through fun and engaging activities!

If your child is struggling with:
Forgetfulness
Organization of school materials
Attention
Impulse control
Following directions
Emotional outbursts
Social skills
Transitions
➡️ These could be signs of executive function challenges!

Children with ADHD struggle significantly in these areas!

If your child leans more towards the avoidance side, they may be in a state of fight or flight or sensory overload on a daily basis.

They might seem anxious, avoid certain situations, and have extreme meltdowns daily.

If so, try adding these 3 strategies into the daily routine to help with overstimulation, sensory processing, and nervous system regulation!

Someone who was a sensory avoider will need less sensory input to fill regulated throughout the day.

A sensory avoider may avoid certain situations, certain clothing textures, and even certain foods.

What types of sensory input does your child typically avoid?

Some strategies that might be helpful:
👉 Heavy work
👉 A calm down / sensory corner
👉 Noise cancelling headphones

If you have a child who seeks out lots of sensory input, make sure you are adding these 3️⃣ things into the daily routine!

Swinging provides vestibular input which can be regulating for many sensory seekers!

Full body heavy work provides proprioceptive feedback to help improve body awareness, but is also regulating to the nervous system!

Any activity that requires your child to blow 👉 like bubble mountain or blowing bubbles 👈 can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for promoting relaxation and slowing the heart rate. This can help your sensory seeker feel more calm!

Try these three activities on a daily basis, possibly multiple times throughout the day!
Follow your child's lead to see which one they like the most!
Don't forget to try these activities WITH your child 💚
