OOL_0082 Building Executive Functioning Skills

Nikolai Pizarro of Raising Readers joins host Annie Friday to discuss the relationship between adult caregiver/parent  and child and the various ways we can support each other and growing or maintaining our executive functioning skills. Nikolai shares her vision of de-centering school and remembering the way all things are learned is relational. By focusing on relationship, we can support our young people learning with or without school. Building executive functioning isn’t just about reducing screentime and creating tasks to keep kids busy. It’s also about finding true meaning in our choice of activities and showing up as our authentic selves in our unschooling and schooling experiences.

Thanks for listening!
