Does your child struggle to get or stay organized? Is homework a battle you dread every day? Prepare yourself to support your children for the Back to School season with this interview with Dr. Richard Guare. He's a neuropsychologist and board-certified behavior analyst focused on autism, learning, attention, and behavior disorders, and acquired brain injuries. He is the co-author of Smart But Scattered: The Revolutionary Approach to Helping Kids Reach Their Potential.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Define executive skills in a way that makes sense to a parent or caregiver who is unfamiliar with the term.
  • Why are these executive skills essential for school success and independence?
  • How does early childhood trauma, neglect, or prenatal substance exposure delay or disrupt a child’s executive skill development?
  • What kinds of executive skill delays are common in children who’ve experienced foster care, adoption, or early adversity?
  • How might a parent or caregiver begin to see a child’s delays in executive skill deficits in school?
  • Define the strengths-based approach to teaching executive skills.
  • How can we structure our homes and daily routines to best support what our kids will face during the school day?
    • And practical strategies for supporting your student after school?
  • What language can parents and caregivers use with our kids, and with teachers and support staff, to frame a child’s behavior in terms of execution skills vs. defiance or distraction?
  • Why is it important for parents and caregivers to understand their own executive skills strengths and struggles?
  • Top “takeaways” you want to encourage and support parents and caregivers to consider.
