Executive Functioning
Supporting executive functioning for daily success and independence
Executive functioning is the brain’s “management system”—it helps kids plan, focus, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks. If your child struggles with organisation, emotional regulation, or getting started on tasks, they may need extra support. At iThrive, we help kids strengthen these skills through structured, personalised strategies to become more independent, confident, and capable in school, at home, and beyond.
When executive skills need a boost
You might notice your child forgets what they’re doing, avoids tricky tasks, or melts down under pressure. These are signs their executive functioning skills need support. We work with children who find planning, memory, and flexible thinking difficult—helping them build practical, lasting strategies to feel more in control.
Daily routines
We help children create structure and predictability in their day. From getting ready in the morning to managing homework, we guide them in setting up routines that promote independence and reduce overwhelm—skills they can take with them for life.
Thinking skills
Flexible thinking, working memory, and impulse control are core executive functions. We use games, role-play, and real-life tasks to strengthen these brain skills, helping kids stay focused, switch gears, and problem-solve more effectively.
How we can help
At iThrive, we don’t just teach strategies—we build confidence. Our team works one-on-one with your child to understand their challenges and create personalised plans that work for your family. With consistent support, we help kids take on daily demands with greater independence and ease.
