Focus and Self Control: Cognitive Flexibility

Mind in the Making parenting techniques

You are here: Home / Focus and Self Control / Focus and Self Control: Cognitive Flexibility

June 14, 2017

Skill #1 – Focus and Self Control. Cognitive Flexibility: is at work when you understand a problem from your own and another’s differing points of view (perspective) – being able to flexibly switch perspectives or the focus of attention, and flexibly adjust to changed demands or priorities. (P.18)

Action 2: Weave these skills (focus and self-control) into everyday activities in fun and playful ways – no drills, “teaching” or expensive games or toys needed. (P.42)

This is a Mini-Message by Dr. Darlene Clemens, summarizing one topic from Mind in the Making, by Ellen Galinksy. With permission of Ms. Galinsky to Dr. Clemens, and of Dr. Clemens to Mark Baumann.
