Executive functions are the cognitive skills we need to control and regulate our thoughts, emotions, and actions in the face of conflict or distraction. Given that executive functions play a key role in children’s development and their success in adulthood, this training focuses on finding ways to support the development of these skills in the early years.
Targeted Audience: All Early Childhood & Youth Professionals
Level of Learning: Introductory
Presenter: Susan Mrazek, Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant
This training focuses on the history and widespread use of reward systems in many environments with children. These systems exist for entire classrooms- such as “winning” cotton balls to put in a jar and earn a class reward- as well as for individual students- such as sticker charts for on-task behavior. Decades of research have revealed the ineffectiveness of reward systems in teaching social-emotional skills as well as the detriment they do to intrinsic motivation. Participants will learn why this perspective has become so culturally ingrained as well as explore the fears around letting go of these systems. Alternative and more effective ways of structuring problem solving and skill-building will be presented and practiced.
