Self

49/100 Self
There is a whole aspect to Executive Function that relates to self that I still don’t feel like I fully understand but feels really important to me. Generally speaking there can be a difference between peoples Executive Functions skills for others and peoples Executive Function skills for themselves. As a teacher I recognize this in the many, many kids I have taught over the years who seemed to struggle with their own Executive Function skills but then became my number one class helper and excelled when helping others with tasks they would have had a hard time doing for them selves. I think this also explains why some people can have amazing Executive Functions in their work or some public realm of their life but have a really hard time with Executive Functions in their personal life or at home. The part I am still trying to understand is why this happens but I think it’s really just important to know it does happen. Especially that we cannot expect that just because someone can do something in one place that means they can do it somewhere else. I have often heard people say this as a reason why they think someone is just being lazy or not trying. It’s not that simple, you brain works differently in different parts of your life.
