Aimee -
Have you done or know of any studies that have looked at much good/poor EF abilities affect academic and life outcomes vs the effect of high IQ?
I wonder if the outcomes are better for those with average to high average IQ and excellent EF skills than for gifted IQ and very poor EF. But, I have never seen actual research on this.
I have one child that is 2-E with very poor EF and another that is very average with average EF. Life and school is so much easier for the average child. While she may not contribute to the world with any breakthrough ideas, she is able to prioritize, get stuff done, apply her skills to novel situations and maintain a life balance. I worry much less about her than her "smarter" brother.
