EXECUTIVE FUNCTION AT HOME:
How to Support Your Child’s Developing Needs
Delivered by Connections in Mind
If everyday life at home feels like a constant battle — getting ready, transitions, homework, emotional outbursts or shutdowns — you are not failing. You may be seeing the impact of executive function differences.
This session is for parents and carers who want to understand why things are hard, not just how to manage the behaviour.
⭐ Why should you attend?
Because executive function shapes how children:
• manage emotions and impulses
• cope with demands and expectations
• plan, organise and transition
• respond when overwhelmed
When these skills are still developing (which is very common in children with SEND), traditional parenting strategies often don’t work — and can increase stress for everyone.
This session helps you move from friction to understanding.
What to expect:
🔹 1-hour insightful talk
Victoria will explore how executive function influences behaviour and emotional responses, helping parents understand what their child genuinely needs in moments of challenge — and why providing that support can feel hard, even with the best intentions.
🔹 30-minute guided group coaching session
Parents will be supported to identify real-life “pinch points” at home and experiment with practical, realistic strategies that fit:
• your child’s developmental profile
• your family’s routines
• your capacity as a parent
✨ This session is designed to:
• reduce daily conflict and misunderstandings
• build confidence in responding calmly and effectively
• help families work with their child’s brain, not against it
• replace guilt and frustration with clarity and compassion
📅 2nd February
🕐 13:00–14:30
📍 Castle Theatre, Wellingborough
If you’ve ever thought “I know my child isn’t choosing this — but I don’t know what to do instead”, this session is for you 🩷🩵
