Don't be afraid to let your child be bored this summer! Boredom is a good exercise for the brain. Instead of solving the problem for them, encourage your child build their own drop down menu of things in their brain that they can do when there is "nothing to do." 😉

Promoting problem-solving is one of the five important steps to boosting executive function skills, as outlined in Raising an Organized Child. Adults should model how to work out determining next-steps, coming up with creative solutions, perseverance, and then let them make their own decisions!

Holidays are great opportunities for working on executive function skills with your children! Use Valentine's Day as a prompt to help challenge your children to think ahead about how your family could celebrate together. Plan who to send notes to, make a draft, calculate the supplies needed, & more!
