No Guilt Mom | Overcoming Mom Guilt, Parenting Tips, & Self Care for Moms 402: Is Your Kid Forgetful—or Just Being a Kid? Executive Function Decoded with Tori Cordiano, Ph.D.
Ever wonder why your kid can recite every line from their favorite YouTube video but somehow “forgets” their shoes, homework, and to throw away the empty cereal box… all in the same morning? Before you pull your hair out, take a breath—this might not be laziness at all.
In this episode, Dr. Tori Cordiano, a licensed clinical psychologist and Co-Director of Laurel's Center for Research on Girls in Shaker Heights helps us decode executive functioning: what it is, why your kid struggles with it (spoiler: their brain’s still under construction), and how you can stop expecting skills they literally don’t have yet.
You’ll laugh, you’ll sigh in relief, and you’ll finally get why socks end up everywhere.
