So many kids (and BIG kids 😊) struggle with executive functioning or just are challenged by the skills that make up the executive functions. Planning and prioritizing tasks is a big concern for many kids who struggle. These skill areas are essential for initiating tasks and following through with projects.
📝
You’ve probably seen the child that: •Can’t get started on homework
•Has trouble figuring out how to start a big assignment like a book report
•Starts a project but then never finishes because they struggle with the steps
•Has difficulty remembering and completing all of the steps to when getting dressed and ready for the day
•Can’t figure out the most important assignments to complete first
•Has trouble when there are more than a few items on a “to-do” list
•Can’t sequence a project visually or verbally
•Has trouble looking at the “big picture”

Love this little craft that is a power tool for bilateral coordination, visual tracking, motor planning, fine motor skills, and more. Pop it onto the Christmas tree for a kid-made ornament or just have fun with it! https://www.theottoolbox.com/bear-craft-christmas-ornament/
