When kids have a poor sense of time, the common response is to give them a planner or some kind of a timer.
While these tools may be a part of your strategy, they don’t address time-blindness.
Time-blindness is a hallmark characteristic of executive functioning issues, and external devices (especially if they’re digital) don’t teach these skills.
Weak time-perception and anxiety go hand-in-hand, and I explain why in this video.
This video clip is taken from my free online training:
How to be neurodiversity-affirming and evidence based (by supporting executive functioning).
In this free training I reveal:
- Why kids continue to experience anxiety or behavioral challenges, even though they’re going to therapy or have a behavior plan.
- Common mistakes multidisciplinary teams make when teaching executive functioning (and why lists, planners, and behavior charts aren’t working).
- Why kids continue to struggle with problem-solving, and friendships, even though they’re going to therapy and social skills groups.
