Executive Function Foundations
This course helps you understand how to support executive functioning in ways that build confidence and independence without doing everything for your child.
Executive function challenges aren’t about motivation or willpower. They’re about managing a complex web of planning, organizing, initiating, sustaining effort, regulating emotions, and knowing what to do when things fall apart.
In this micro-course, you’ll learn how to work with your child—through scaffolding, shared effort, and thoughtful support—so skills grow over time.
Format: Short videos, guided activities, real-life examples
Time: ~60 minutes total (self-paced) and 30 minutes for the reflection guide
Outcome: Clearer understanding of executive function, practical scaffolding tools, and less daily friction
Note: Although it is sold here as an individual micro-course and guide, it is also available as the fourth micro-course in our Foundational Series Bundle.

Reflection & Action Guide
-
Why reflect?
The 12-page guide helps parents make sense of executive function through a relational and developmental lens, rather than a checklist of skills to manage or fix. Through guided prompts and real-life scenarios, parents are invited to reflect on how stress, expectations, environments, and adult responses shape their child’s capacity to plan, focus, regulate emotions, and follow through. -
What does it emphasize?
The guide emphasizes noticing patterns over time—both in children and in ourselves—supporting parents in creating conditions that foster growth, trust, and shared regulation, rather than pressure or compliance.
