Executive functions are critical for all aspects of development, success in school and in life, and good mental and physical health. Given how important executive functions skills are, this book which explains what executive functions are, how they develop, social and emotional influences on, and consequences of, executive functions, and how executive functions look in atypical populations could not be more timely.
