  2. Talking Executive Function Skills with Carrie Bonnet

Dec 10, 2024

Why do some kids (and adults) struggle with planning, staying on task, or managing big emotions—even when they’re trying their best?

In this episode of The Complicated Kids Podcast, I talk with executive function coach Carrie Bonnett about the brain-based skills that help us get things done. Carrie breaks down how challenges with executive function show up across ages and stages, and why these skills need to be taught explicitly—not just expected.

We dive into how parents and educators can shift from frustration to support, the power of practice and repetition, and why even tools like planners only work when we teach how to use them.
