Mission Control Group

Executive functioning skills provide the basis for the brain’s “command center”, to enable tweens (ages 9–11) to self-regulate, plan and organise their thoughts and to put their plans into action to achieve their goals. This group is aimed at supporting tweens navigate the last years of primary school and support the transition into high school.

Areas of Focus:
– Task Initiation: Identifying techniques to overcome procrastination and start assignments promptly.
– Strategic Planning: Breaking overwhelming “big” projects into manageable, bite-sized steps and managing their time successfully
– Digital & Physical Systems: Setting up personalised checklists and reminders that work for them
– Metacognition: Introducing reflective strategies to help them recognise what’s working and where they need to adapt
– Self regulation and stress management: Identifying existing stressors and implementing healthy coping strategies.
– Cognitive Flexibility: Being able to “shift gears” when plans change or a strategy isn’t working, rather than having a meltdown.
