Many parents first notice executive function challenges once school begins. Difficulties with focus, routines, or remembering steps often stand out. But executive function isn’t just a “school skill.” It’s the brain’s management system that supports us throughout life. 🧠

From learning to take turns in preschool 🎈to managing work, home, and relationships as adults 💼, executive function helps us plan, organise, regulate emotions, and adapt to change. When a child struggles, it simply means these skills are still developing and need support.

At Ohana Therapy, we celebrate every child’s unique way of thinking, learning, and growing. 🌈 We help families build executive function skills in ways that feel meaningful and achievable for their child. 🌱 Contact us if you need support; we'd love to work alongside you and your child every step of the way! 🌟

What if I told you your child’s brain is like a busy manager without a to-do list? Many children struggle to figure out what’s most important, whether it’s homework, chores, or play. 🧠🚨

That’s where prioritisation comes in! This essential skill helps children decide what needs their attention first and what can wait, reducing stress and building confidence.

Here’s how you can help them practice at home:
🔺 Sort tasks together by creating "Must Do" and "Can Wait" categories
🔺 Use visual cues to make priorities clear (🔴 🟡 🟢, 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣)
🔺 Start with the big challenging tasks first
🔺 Break tasks down to avoid overwhelm
🔺 Set time limits for low-priority activities to help them balance responsibility and play
🔺 Celebrate smart choices

When children struggle to prioritise, it’s not because they aren’t trying, they just need help sorting out what matters most. Small steps like these help kids feel more capable, calm, and in control, one choice at a time. 💛

Forgotten homework, last-minute panic, endlessly rearranged toy collections. When everything feels equally urgent, it's hard to know where to begin. It's like trying to follow a map where every road is marked "GO NOW!" 🧠🚨

Prioritisation is a skill that helps children decide what needs attention first and what can wait. It helps them start assignments, manage their time, and reduce overwhelm.

When this skill is still developing, you might notice your child:
🔺 Starting with the "fun" parts of a task but leaving important steps unfinished
🔺 Focusing on small details (perfecting one problem while ignoring the rest)
🔺 Feeling stuck or overwhelmed by where to start
🔺 Choosing easier tasks first while avoiding bigger and more important ones
🔺 Struggling to identify what matters (e.g. packing toys instead of lunch for school)

These challenges aren’t setbacks but signs of growth. With patience and support, your child can learn to navigate choices with less stress and more purpose.💛

Think of sequencing like mental stackable blocks. Some children need help fitting the pieces in the right order. Sequencing isn't just about knowing what comes first, next, and last. It's the ability to organise actions and ideas in a logical order. 🧠🧩

Here are some simple ways to strengthen this skill at home:
⏩ Sing step-by-step routines with songs or rhymes to make step order easier to remember
⏩ Use visual step-by-step charts for routines like getting ready in the morning or cleaning up
⏩ Cook, build, or make crafts together and highlight each step
⏩ Retell stories sequentially together
⏩ Model sequencing out loud
⏩ Encourage step-checking by asking "what's next" before continuing with the task
⏩ Praise the process ("You followed all the steps, that's awesome!")

When you weave these ideas into your day, you're not just teaching steps. You're building confidence, independence, and cognitive skills that will help your child succeed in and beyond the classroom.💛

27/10/2025

Have you ever watched your child put their shoes on before their socks? Or start a story in the middle? 🧦📖

These moments often point to sequencing. Sequencing is the skill of putting steps, events, or ideas in the right order. It's what helps children follow routines, complete tasks, and share stories that make sense.

As your child is still building this skill, you might see them:
🔁 Mixing up steps in routines
🔁 Retelling stories or events out of order
🔁 Struggling to follow instructions for cooking or building activities
🔁 Reversing the order of letters or sounds when writing
🔁 Often asking, "What do I do next?"
🔁 Requiring frequent prompts to stay on track with multi-step tasks

When sequencing feels tricky, everyday moments can become frustrating. However, these instances are often just a sign that your child's brain is still learning how to organise information. With gentle support and opportunities to practice, they can strengthen this skill and feel more capable in daily tasks.💛

You can't always be there to point out the missed step or social cue. But you can teach them to notice it themselves. 🧠 👀

Self-monitoring isn't about criticism, it's about giving your child the tools to become their own inner coach. It allows them to observe what they're doing as they do it, recognise errors, and adjust their actions in real time.

You can nurture this skill at home through these simple supportive strategies:
🔍 Model thinking out loud to make the problem-solving process visible
🔍 Ask gentle, curious questions to prompt active thinking
🔍 Role play common social scenarios to practise responses in a safe setting
🔍 Teach the "Pause & Check" habit to build moments of self-reflection
🔍 Normalise and name emotions to bring awareness to what they're feeling
🔍 Praise when they notice a mistake and fix it independently to build confidence

This isn't about getting it right, but about learning to notice. Over time, your child will need fewer reminders and gain more confidence in their ability to guide themselves. 💛

21/10/2025

"Pay attention!" "Check your work!" "Think before you speak!" What if your child wants to do those things, but doesn't know how?🌪️

Self-monitoring is like having an internal mirror. It's the ability to notice what you're doing in the moment and adjust as needed. It helps us stay on track, catch mistakes, and respond appropriately. 🧠🪞

When this skill is still a work in progress, you might see:
🔍 Not noticing mistakes in schoolwork or chores
🔍 Rushing through tasks without checking their work
🔍 Difficulty adjusting volume or energy to match the setting
🔍 Trouble reading social cues during play or conversation

These moments aren't intentional. They're signs your child is still learning to tune into their own actions and how they affect others, and that's okay! With gentle support, they can learn to pause, reflect, and adapt. 💛

That half-build Lego tower? The abandoned drawing? They're not failures, they're opportunities waiting for the right tools. 🧠 🏁

Goal-directed persistence is the skill that helps children stick with tasks even when they feel challenging, boring, or frustrating. It's what turns the "I can't" into "I'll try again".

You can help develop this this skill by:
🎯 Breaking goals into tiny, more manageable steps
🎯 Using visual progress trackers so they can see themselves moving forward
🎯 Normalising mistakes to build confidence
🎯 Modelling persistence yourself
🎯 Offering structured breaks to refresh the mind before continuing
🎯 Praising persistence and following through, even if the task isn’t perfect

Resilience isn't something children are born with, it's something they build. With time and encouragement, your child can learn to push through challenges, stay focused, and feel proud of finishing what they start. 💛

15/10/2025

If you've ever watched your child begin a task with excitement, only to give up when it gets tough, you've seen this skill in action. For children, finishing what they start is less about motivation and more about mental endurance. 🧠 🏁

Goal-directed persistence is the ability to keep working toward something even when distractions, challenges, or boredom get in the way. It helps children push through difficulties and finish what they start.

While your child is still finding their way with this, you might notice them:
🎯 Giving up quickly on difficult tasks
🎯 Starting strong but struggling to finish
🎯 Showing frustration when progress feels slow
🎯 Avoiding challenging tasks in favour of easier ones
🎯 Doubting their abilities before even trying
🎯 Getting distracted by more appealing options
🎯 Needing reminders to keep going until a task is complete

These aren't signs of a lack of motivation. They're clues that your child's brain is still building the patience, problem-solving skills, and emotional resilience needed to stick with goals over time. With the right support, they can learn to celebrate small wins, bounce back from setbacks, and keep going even when it’s tough. Marathons aren't won with speed, they're won with stamina.💛
