Part 2 of 3 — Understanding time blindness ⏰

Time blindness is one of the most common executive functioning challenges we see.

It’s not about effort or motivation—
it’s about how the brain perceives and manages time.

Children (and adults) with time blindness may:

* Underestimate how long things will take
* Start tasks too late
* Feel surprised when time runs out
* Move through routines without a clear sense of pacing

This often looks like:

* Rushed mornings
* Homework taking much longer than expected
* Difficulty transitioning
* A constant feeling of being “behind”

These patterns can affect independence, confidence, and daily functioning.

✨ In Part 3, we’ll share how we directly build this skill through therapy and coaching.



At Timber Ridge Pediatric Therapy, we assess for time blindness early because of how significantly it impacts daily life. We provide executive functioning therapy for younger children to build these skills neurologically, and executive functioning coaching for older individuals to support strategy use and independence. Both services are covered by insurance and are designed to meet clients where they are developmentally.

Part 1 of 3 — A small moment that reveals a big skill 🍪

A mom once packed her kindergartener a big cookie and a small cookie as part of her lunch.

She came home with the big cookie still in her lunchbox.

When her mom asked why, she said:
“I didn’t have enough time to eat the big one, so I ate the small one and saved the big one for after school.”



This moment reflects something we look for as OTs: time awareness—or, when it’s missing, time blindness.

Without being taught, this child:

* Estimated how much time she had left
* Matched it to the size of the task
* Made an efficient, thoughtful decision

That’s a core executive functioning skill—and not all children develop it intuitively.

✨ In Part 2, we’ll break down what time blindness looks like in everyday life.



At Timber Ridge Pediatric Therapy, we specialize in executive functioning therapy and coaching. For children (typically up to age 15), we provide EF therapy that targets underlying neurological skills. For older teens and adults, we offer executive functioning coaching that focuses on practical strategies and real-life application—both insurance-based. In both, we directly assess and treat time blindness as a foundational skill.

If you’ve indeed made it this far, comment on who you think this kindergarten was. You will get finger claps from her mama.

We change lives by targeting executive functioning at its core. In this particular area, we treat pediatrics and adults.

At Timber Ridge, our clinical team specializes in executive functioning therapy and coaching. We focus on building the underlying neurological skills that drive planning, organization, and independence.

For kids 15 and under, we provide executive functioning therapy, where we take advantage of brain plasticity to create real, lasting change.

As clients get older, we shift to executive functioning coaching, where we continue building those skills while adding practical strategies for life. Executive functioning challenges don’t just go away—they continue to impact school, work, and relationships well into adulthood.

We’ve also built this model so both therapy and coaching can be covered by insurance, making this level of support more accessible.

We’re starting a short series this week on one of the biggest pieces of executive functioning: time blindness.
