Our hope is that you feel validated, comforted, and inspired. So as we joined Dr. Russell. Relax. Take a breath. And know that you're not alone.
Hi, I'm Dr. Noreen Russell. This is a special episode of my podcast, ADHD Autism and Anxiety Breaking Out of the Box, where I'm sharing with you an episode from my TV show, which airs on Roku TV. It's called Connected Executive Functioning in the Real World, and we explore the relevance of executive functioning to students, parents, and everyone. Enjoy. Welcome to this episode of Connected Executive Functioning in the Real World. I'm your host, Dr. Noreen Russell, and I'm here with. Just the most amazing talented coach um and friend and dad, Dan Fosanelik, and we are here today to talk with you about What are the right things to do to help your child with executive functioning skill development? Hey Dan, how are ya?
I'm doing great. I'm doing great today. I'm doing great this week. Everything's clicking. Feeling good. Happy to be here.
Good. We had some good executive functioning skills, didn't we? Getting this all pulled together. We've got our day and time correct. We were organized. We were communicative, tossing ideas back and forth. We were both right on time at two o'clock. It was awesome.
Right. And we left in a buffer just in case something went sideways, which is so important, right? You know, it always happens. You get a blind side or a curveball and you have to make adjustments. Yeah.
Yeah. We've got great executive functioning skills, Dan.
Yes, we are we are masters in a way. Yeah. In a way. In a way. Because I always look at my po what I call my pockets of chaos. It's not perfect. It's mine and I own it. And we all should own our pockets of chaos. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. So what I love about this is, you know what, you and I, we are really good at this. It does not necessarily mean we are good at teaching our kids this. I feel for parents when they call me and they say, I'm a project manager at work. I am a high-level healthcare executive. I manage a practice of 50 other attorneys. I am, you know, the CFO of a top 100 company and my kid can't get their homework turned in. I'm like, oh Yeah, see. Your executive functioning skills might be great. That doesn't mean that your child is going to kind of organically observe that. I mean organically um absorb that through observing you. And so We're here today following up on last week's episode of what not to do with your child's delay in executive functioning to talk about what should you be doing?
Because I think this is what parents are craving. How do I help my child who has trouble planning, organizing, keeping track of their socks, their cord, their phone? getting their homework in, getting their homework into the class they hate, right? And so today we get to talk about what are the things that actually parents should be doing to help their kids develop executive functioning skills.
Right. What's gonna be meaningful and it's gonna last. And when they look back and think back to this time, they're gonna be really grateful for the things that you tried and worked and and when you needed to, that you needed to make an adjustment and try again. But but did it collaboratively and cooperatively. Probably we'll probably he hear and say that a few times today.
Probably.
Yep.
Probably. We've both worked with hundreds of students. We know what works. I'm excited to share. Okay, first message and maybe the most important message for today. Connect before you correct. Dan, I don't know that anyone is more inspirational about this than you are. Connect before you correct. What does this mean? What does this look like? How do parents operationalize this theoretical idea of Connect before you correct.
Well, let's try to keep in mind too, like our kids are constantly feeling judged or uh criticized or observed.
