What activities can I do to help develop my child’s executive function skills?
Here are some activities that support Baby’s executive function skills through early childhood:
Have predictable routines from a young age
Provide Baby with age-appropriate toys and household items to play with and explore
Use imitation games such as clapping hands to build memory skills and teach Baby how to copy you
As they grow older, continue to model the behavior that you would like to see in your children
Bring children along on errands
Let them try new things and complete tasks to help build confidence
Acknowledge good behavior
Talk through steps of an activity
Provide opportunities for free, creative play and problem solving
