1. Establish Daily Routines
Children thrive on structure. Morning, after-school, and bedtime routines help them know what to expect and build independence. 🕒 Try this: Post a visual schedule or use a checklist for daily steps (like “get dressed → eat breakfast → pack backpack”).2. Break Tasks Into Small Steps
Big tasks can feel overwhelming. Help your child divide homework, chores, or projects into smaller parts. 🧩 Try this: Say “Let’s start by picking up toys first,” instead of “Clean your room.”3. Use Visual Supports and Checklists
Visual reminders make it easier for kids to remember and stay organized. 📋 Try this: Use color-coded folders for schoolwork or post a “to-do” chart on the refrigerator.4. Practice Time Management
Teach your child how to plan how long things take. Use timers or clocks to make time visible. ⏰ Try this: “Let’s see if you can finish your math before the timer goes off!”5. Encourage Planning and Goal Setting
Show your child how to think ahead and set short goals. 🎯 Try this: “What’s one thing you can do tonight to be ready for tomorrow?”6. Teach Problem-Solving
Instead of solving problems for your child, guide them to think through options. 💡 Try this: “What are two ways you could handle this?” or “What worked for you before?”7. Support Emotional Regulation
Help your child learn to pause and manage emotions when frustrated or upset. 🌿 Try this: Practice deep breathing, stretching, or taking a short break to calm down.8. Model and Praise Executive Function Skills
Children learn best by watching adults. Model organization, planning, and calm responses — and praise their progress. 🏆 Try this: “I noticed you checked your list before leaving. That’s great organization!”Reference
