Executive Function
John is a puzzle to me. He seems so bright and creative, and he always contributes wonderful ideas to our class discussions.
However, he often does not hand in homework, he does not seem to study for tests, and he is usually late with projects. I don’t know if he is just lazy. I wish he was more motivated and invested in his
work.
-Sixth-Grade Teacher (from Meltzer)

Executive Functions Are Not a Unitary TraitFrequently referred to as “the CEO of the Brain” or
the “Conductor of the Orchestra”These metaphors hint at the nature of EFs, but are
far too general for effective understanding of the concept. These metaphors create the impression of a central control center or a singular control capacity
A more appropriate metaphor for executive functions:“A Team of Conductors” and “Co-Conductors of a Mental Ability Orchestra”

Can’t Versus Won’t“We are encouraging people to become involved in their own rescue.”
Remember rewards will not work if the child does not have the skill. Reward programs imply that a child can do it if he/she wants to or is motivated enough to. This often leads away from the realization that many children who do want to change their behavior don’t know what to do to change it.
