This program will
focus on developing executive skills
essential for time and task management
that can be achieved through exposure
to thinking exercises and meta cognitive
processes. It will help your child develop
explicit procedural knowledge of breaking
complex tasks into steps, in order to
plan for homework/activity and to estimate
time needed per step to a complex task.
Finally, this program will guide children
to think about alternative ways of approaching
a task prior to ‘jumping into it’ by
using process of deductive reasoning
and problem solving.
