Many kids have weak (EF) Executive Functioning Areas of concern may be: Attention Skills Thinking Skills Monitoring/modifying behavior skills

How might these deficits be complicated by the digital world? Attention Skills
Selective attention: the ability to efficiently 'filter' information; to detect information that is relevant and ignore irrelevant or distracting information. Sustained attention: the ability to actively attend to a task, goal, or own behavior despite there being little stimulation for such continued processing. Divided attention: the ability to monitor or attend to two things at once. Shifting attention: the ability to shift attention between two or more tasks.

How might these deficits be complicated by the digital world? Thinking Skills
Organization: the ability to arrange or place things in a meaningful system. Planning: the ability to create a 'blueprint' or strategy for reaching goals or completing a task. Time management: the ability to effectively estimate how much time one has, how to spend that time, and how to stay within time limits and meet deadlines. Working memory: the ability to hold information in immediate awareness while performing a mental operation on that information. Metacognition: the ability to think about one's own thoughts, behaviors, and feelings in a given situation. It involves being able to self-monitor or evaluate one's skills.

How might these deficits be complicated by the digital world? Monitoring/modifying behavior skills
Response inhibition: the ability to think before acting. Doing so, gives one the time to evaluate a situation and determine how one's behavior might affect it. Self-regulation of affect: the ability to manage emotions in order to achieve goals, complete tasks, or control and direct behavior. Task initiation: the ability to start a task without procrastinating. Flexibility: the ability to revise plans or directed behavior when there are obstacles, setbacks, new information, or mistakes; adapting to environmental changes.
