Executive function

Executive function can be thought of like the 'boss' or leader in your brain. It is the part of the brain that helps us remember things, plan ahead, and make decisions. It helps us to stay on task, stay organized and make sure we are doing what we are supposed to be doing. It also helps us to pay attention, think before we talk and consider other people's points of view. We use our executive function skills to focus on a task and pay attention to the details. Without executive function, it can be harder to get things done and remember important things.
