Faith Talks on Executive Function

On December 5, please join a live recording of the Faith Talks podcast for a discussion with Dr. Ellen Braaten, who co-authored the book Bright Kids Who Can’t Keep Up.

Dr. Braaten will share tips for seeing and honoring all children, while equipping us to better support the young people in our lives.

Children develop at different paces. The pace at which a child completes various tasks and projects is known as processing speed. We typically notice when children have slower processing speeds, and this can be challenging for the child and the adults around them. But processing speed is not indicative of intelligence or I.Q. And with support, children with slower processing speeds can thrive. It is therefore imperative that parents, grandparents, educators, and caregivers gain strategies for supporting all children, regardless of how they learn.

In addition to assisting our children, we’ll also acknowledge and celebrate the Advent season. As children prepare for the Christmas break, we hope this conversation will provide us with fresh eyes and open hearts to serve children and youth.
