There are books that help you, or your child, figure out their EF strengths and weaknesses and then give you ideas on how to gain better skills in your weaker areas. One of these is Smart but Scattered. The other popular book title is escaping me at this time!

I found them quite helpful in understanding what EF are and aren't and what my own strengths and weaknesses are, and my child's. It really is very interesting when you get into it. At least I think so smile
