| PWA Answer |
Executive function lies at the heart of everything we do. The three core executive function skills are working memory, cognitive flexibility and self-control, and they are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions and juggle multiple tasks successfully.

The brain needs this skill set to filter distractions, prioritize tasks, set and achieve goals and control impulses; so it’s crucial for kids to manage their daily activities. As parents, there are many ways they encourage your child’s development. Just try some of the fun games and activities suggested in this app! UTM-EM-053-APR-21 |
