Executive FUNctioning: Writing and Drawing

This episode is all about ways to improve kids' executive functioning skills using writing and drawing activities. Even if your kiddo is not a strong writer or doesn't enjoy writing, there are still plenty of activities on this list that they can do!

On this episode I give suggestions for how to support kids who don't like to write. I also share 5 drawing activities and 5 writing activities. 

Segment from this episode:

Sometimes I refer to this as 'taking a detour'. When what you're thinking about is no longer an option, can you take a detour? Can you shift gears? Can you make that mental change and keep going?

The reason I like that concept is because a detour is intended to still get us where we're going, it just gets us there in a different way. We're not trying to go somewhere else. We're still trying to get to that end result. Just recognizing that we need to do it a different way. This activity is a great way to reinforce that concept of taking a detour.
