Executive Functioning = the management (principal) of my brain when THINKING……this might include paying attention, solving problems, organizing or keeping my things together, making a plan, or doing something.

Executive Functioning + Amygdala = being able to think of other’s feelings, be confident, feel successful and complete my tasks!

We enjoyed the following video together:
