How Can You Improve Your Executive Functions?

There's a feedback loop going where feeling depressed and sad makes your executive functions worse. If you can make a change at any point in the loop, it affects the whole loop. So if you can find a way to improve your executive functions, it can help you better deal with the stress. Some parents want to know when they can start improving their child's executive functions. Is there a certain age? Or you can do it from infancy. We've studied babies six to 12 months of age, and can see them using executive functions. Give them problems, challenge them, and don't make it too easy right away.
