What are executive functioning skills?

They are important cognitive abilities for self-control and managing behaviours. These skills include inhibition, self-monitoring, shifting, emotional control, task initiation, working memory, planning and organisation.

All executive functioning skills work together in carrying out our daily life tasks. For students, they use these skills to concentrate in class, stay organised and complete homework. However, each child has individual strengths and weaknesses in executive functioning and may need extra support practicing specific skill.

執行功能技能是自我控制和行為組織的重要認知能力。這些技能包括抑制、自我監控、轉換、情緒控制、任務展開、工作記憶、計劃和組織能力。

所有執行功能技能在日常生活任務中共同運作。對於學生來說，他們利用這些技能在課堂上集中注意力、保持組織和完成家庭作業。然而，每個孩子在執行功能方面都有各自的優勢和劣勢，可能需要額外的支持來練習特定的技能。
