What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
You have to start with something that's not overwhelming. It has to feel emotionally safe and it has to feel doable to them. Okay. You have to find that threshold and you're gonna have to scale way, way back. And again, there can be a cascading effect. So once you get them started a little bit, a little bit more and a little bit more, then You can open the door way more eventually. So it's very hard, I think, because parents are like, this needs to happen now. And you're right, it does. But it's not. So you need to back up and really feed the bite size so tiny for whatever issue you're working on.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Reaver, and this week is a continuation of last week's episode with executive functioning coach Seth Perler, which is so packed full of information and also so long that I had to break it up into two separate episodes, which I'm now referring to as a master. class and executive function. In last week's episode, Seth shared his protocol for setting up a child for success in their developing executive function skills. In today's episode, Seth is going to get into the nitty-gritty about specific strategies he uses to address different executive functioning challenges that show up in kids in school and in life.
As he said during our conversation, taking all of this in is kind of like drinking from a fire hose. There's a lot of useful content and it's a lot to absorb. So I suggest you listen to this more than once if you need to, take notes, and definitely head over to Seth's website at SethPurler.com and check out all of his fantastic videos and articles and other resources he has available. Helping kids with executive functioning challenges is Seth's passion and he is really good at what he does. I'm so grateful to be able to share his wisdom with our community. So now without further ado, here is part two of the executive functioning masterclass with Seth. And just a heads up, we are going to be jumping in right where we left off last week.
Okay, that brings us to number seventeen, which is Frankenstudy, which according to the last podcast we did, I mentioned at the end that this was the most important key concept because this is the concept that has real nuts and bolts strategies that you can use with schoolwork. The reason I came up with the word Frankenstudy was based on a guitar called Frankenstrat, which is a guitar made of all these different parts. But a lot of times we think um that there is like one way to do things, how to do school. And Franken's study really represents that you have to Find personalized strategies for your child. They need to have strategies that work for them, not for everybody else. And these ATIPs, these neurologically atypical kids, these outside-the-box kids, these differently wired kids, they need things that are really tailored to their idiosyncrasies.
And when you start to do these different strategies that I'm about to talk about, there will be a domino effect. In other words, they will affect other things positively. So really think about where to put your energy with your child on the ones that I'm about to mention, what to focus on first, because there's a lot of different things to do. Um, one of the things is planners. Planners I know that for some of you listening, your child won't use a planner at all. This is definitely is more important in middle school, high school and college. And and it's where you see the resistance a lot, but a lot of them won't use them at all. Um, some of them have online calendars, some have physical planners, etcetera.
It is so important with executive function that kids learn to plan, learn to talk through their plan, think through their plan. They do not know how to plan and if they don't figure out how to plan, they will not be able to execute major goals in their life in their future. So these learning planners is key. Unfortunately, a lot of times what we do to teach them planners doesn't work.
