Explicitly teach skills rather than expecting the child to acquire them through observation or osmosis 2. Consider your child s developmental level 3. Move from the external to the internal 4. External includes changes in the environment, the task, or the way you interact with the child. 5. Use rather than fight the child s innate drive of mastery and control. 6. Modify tasks to match your child s capacity to exert effort References Dawson, P., & Guare, R. (2010). Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents: A Practical Guide to Assessment and Intervention. Second Edition. Dawson, P. (2012, December 11). Smart but Scattered: Executive Dysfunction at Home & at School. Lecture, Little Rock, AR. Dawson, P., & Guare, R. (2009).
