They sure do. Be how you want them to be.

Teaching foresight, or the ability to predict future outcomes and consider consequences, is a powerful way to build executive functioning skills at home. Here’s how you can do it in simple, natural ways as a parent:

🔮 How to Teach Foresight at Home
1. Use Everyday Moments to Predict Outcomes
Ask questions like:
🗣“What do you think will happen if you leave your lunch on the counter?”
🗣“If we stay up late tonight, how might you feel at your game tomorrow?”

This builds the habit of thinking ahead before acting.

2. Practice “If…Then” Thinking (Write them down or talk them through.)
🗣Use simple cause-effect logic:
“If I leave my laundry on the floor, then…”
“If I finish my chores early, then I’ll have time to…”

3. Create Safe “Think Ahead” Challenges
Before outings, ask:
🗣“What do you think we’ll need?”
🗣“What could go wrong, and how would we fix it?”
This builds flexible thinking and future planning.

4. Reflect on Past Experiences
🗣After something goes wrong (or right!), talk through:
“What happened?” → “Why did it happen?” → “What could we do differently next time?” Reflection is key to developing future-thinking.

5. Let Natural Consequences Happen (When Safe)
If your teen forgets their lunch or misses a deadline, talk later about what they learned. Foresight grows from real experiences, not lectures.

6. Model Foresight Out Loud
🗣Narrate your own thought process: “I’m going to pack the umbrella because it might rain this afternoon.”

Kids learn by watching you think ahead.
