In this episode of the Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast, Dr. Erica Warren welcomes her business partner, executive functioning coach and educational therapist Nancy Platt Dawud, for a discussion geared toward parents on building executive functioning skills over the summer. They contrast the risks of too little structure with the benefits of involving kids in planning, time management, and organization, while also emphasizing the value of unstructured time, boredom, creativity, and frustration tolerance. They suggest practical, playful strategies including outdoor activities (obstacle courses, scavenger hunts, sports), family games (card and board games that support working memory, inhibition, flexibility, logic, and spatial skills), reading supports (graphic novels, audiobooks paired with text, finger tracking, apps), and real-life skill builders like cooking, travel prep and packing lists, map reading, memorizing key information, visual schedules, and small “chunked” routines like the three-thing rule, while cautioning against overscheduling and overhelping.Links:EF Student Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠https://learningtolearn.biz/⁠⁠⁠⁠EF Adult Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Function Products and Tools: https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-trainingivvi notes: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Functioning Coaching Course: ⁠https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies⁠Executive Functioning Resources: ⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-training⁠⁠⁠Executive Functioning Assessments:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?type=product&q=EFCA⁠⁠⁠⁠Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app⁠⁠Erica and Nancy’s Private Practice: https://learningtolearn.biz/ Drinking from a hose short: https://www.instagram.com/reels/CsXhIgQsTUw/ Quitch: Look for a used one on eBayRat-A-Tat CatBlinkDeductoTaco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, PizzaDog CrimesCat CrimesScattergoriesPictionaryMastermindGuess the Color (online version of Mastermind) Genius SquareBlockusQBitsLogic LinksRush HourClueSkylightDry Erase CalendarsPicture SchedulesBrought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
