Executive Function for Preschoolers (Strategies for Routines and Play)

With strong executive function skills, young children can plan, focus, self-regulate, organize, and problem-solve!

But EF skills can be improved in early childhood, and this book guides teachers to support children's EF in ways that are developmentally appropriate and easily integrated into existing routines and play experiences.

How to facilitate those skills through daily routines, play, games, movement activities, and mindfulness practices
