What does it actually mean to be a grown up?

52/100 What does it actually mean to be a grown up?
In this project I have only been doing the Executive Function portraits of adults. In my early research and learning about Executive Functions most of what I could find was related to kids, teens and early adults who are still developing their Executive Functions. I wondered does that mean that all adults at some point just have Executive Function skills? Like was I going to do this project and just see a bunch of adults all the same. Every person who has taken my assessment so far is a person I at least somewhat know in real life. They are all functioning adults with jobs or kids or people who seem to manage adulthood. Yet their Portraits are all totally different. I am now realizing that at some point your Executive Function skills become somewhat irrelevant not because they change but because you learn to adapt. What really happens in adulthood is that you learn to work with your own strengths and weaknesses. You learn to find a job that works for you, systems and processes that work for you, you learn how to work with other people who work differently then you do or at least how to do all these things enough so that you can get by. So if you think of adulthood as really just being able to figure out how you work with what you have and then structuring your life to suit you abilities wouldn’t it be best for us to tell kids that? To help kids understand how their brains work, especially older kids, so they can start figuring out ways they work and making decisions that work best for their brain and the way they work? #100daysofefportraits #efportraits
