著者: Andi Clark
  • サマリー

  • If your child has big emotions that affect your daily life, you are not alone. Since my son was born he has experienced intense anxiety and emotional outbursts that have been challenging. This led me to become a sleep, stress, and resilience coach helping me understand and learn how to regulate my son's nervous system so he was not living in a stressed fight or flight state all of the time. The school environment heightened his anxiety as they focused on managing his outbursts rather than understanding their root causes. While navigating these complexities, I’ve faced numerous challenges and setbacks. However, each phase of my son's development has brought new opportunities for growth and learning for both of us. It’s a continuous process, but it is possible to support and understand children with big emotions more effectively. Through this podcast, I aim to reassure and inspire you. Many children experience intense emotions, and together, we can discover better ways to support not only them but also your entire family. Join me on this journey, and let’s learn from each other. Visit my website at www.andiclark.com to learn more about my experiences and access valuable resources. With over 30 years in the health world, I'm here to share my knowledge and support you every step of the way.

    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 You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    • 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.

    Key Takeaways:
    • 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.

    Resources Mentioned:
    • 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.

    Next Episode Preview:

    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.
