Executive Function

A foundation for successful development of executive function skills begins in early childhood and is fostered by caregivers who integrate these skills sets into daily routines.

In their research, The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University identified "Seven Essential Life Skills" inclusive in executive function:

- Communicating
- Critical thinking
- Focus and self-control
- Making connections
- Perspective taking
- Self-directed learning
- Taking on challenges
