| PWA Answer |
Simply by spending time and paying children attention in constructive play can help to strengthen executive functions in children. Your parenting style could also be having a positive effect on your little one without you even knowing it – and it’s useful to understand why. For instance, take ‘Grandma’s Rule’ or the Premack Principle; this is a principle that was developed by psychologist David Premack in the 1950s where a higher probability behavior will reinforce a lesser probability behavior. For example, you might say, ‘You have to eat some vegetables before you can have dessert.’ Or, ‘You can go out and play after you’ve done your homework.’ So you use preferred activities to reinforce non-preferred ones. Parents do this all the time, but using methods like this strategically can be helpful. You will find lots of games and activities to help strengthen executive functions in your child on this app. Play together and have fun while they learn! UTM-EM-053-APR-21 |
