TPP 096: A "Masterclass" in Executive Functioning with Seth Perler (Part 1 of 2)

Published: Feb. 20, 2018, 8:19 a.m.

b'In this episode of the TiLT Parenting Podcast, I\\u2019m bringing back a previous guest, executive functioning coach Seth Perler, for a two-part series in which Seth shares with us the exact approach he uses with students he works with when helping them foster their fledgling executive functioning skills.\\xa0\\nI first had Seth on the show last fall, where he gave us an introduction to executive functioning, but we didn\\u2019t get to the more practical strategies that I know so many of us are looking for. So I asked Seth to come back on, and that conversation turned into an hour-and-a-half long sharing by Seth of truly valuable tips and strategies and insights. Because Seth shares so very much over the course of these ninety or so minutes, I wanted to split our conversation into two parts. So this episode is part one of what I\\u2019m now referring to as a \\u201cMasterclass in Executive Functioning.\\u201d In this episode, Seth shares with us his protocol for setting up a child for success in their developing executive functioning skills. In part 2 next week, Seth will go in-depth into his specific strategies surrounding building these skills in school and in life.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nSeth Perler is a renegade teacher turned Executive Function Coach/Education Coach who is based in Santa Monica, CA and Boulder, CO. He helps struggling students navigate a crazy educational landscape and does his part to \\u201cdisrupt\\u201d and improve education. Seth specializes in Executive Function and 2e.
