In This Episode We Will Dive into:

In this first episode of our special series on executive functioning, we’re diving into perception—the often-overlooked foundation of so many skills that help us navigate life. Perception impacts how we interpret and interact with the world around us, influencing everything from social cues to time management, and even emotional regulation.

• What perception is and why it’s the cornerstone of executive functioning.
• How perception struggles might show up in your child, such as missing social cues, struggling with perfectionism, or frequently bumping into things.
• The connection between perception and challenges like anxiety, frustration, and feeling misunderstood.
• Real-life examples of how perception skills influence everyday life at home, school, and beyond.

• Executive functioning skills develop well into our 20s, meaning your child has time to grow and improve these areas.
• Stress, overstimulation, or lack of routine can exacerbate perception struggles, but small adjustments in the environment and approach can make a big difference.
• Perception struggles aren’t a reflection of "common sense" but rather a developmental skill that can be supported and strengthened.

• The Support Circle Membership: Learn how to identify and support your child’s executive functioning skills with tailored strategies and a community of parents just like you.
• Intake Form for Executive Functioning Skills: A tool to help you assess your child’s strengths and struggles, starting with perception.

In the next episode, we’ll focus on attention—the second key layer of executive functioning. We’ll explore how attention impacts everything from staying on task to managing distractions and hyperfocus.
