Understanding how EF skills affect child-parent relationships
In “Smart But Scattered”, Peg Dawson explains the importance of understanding your executive strengths and weaknesses compared to that of your child. If you have matching strengths you might get along well where those correspond.
However, differing parent strengths vs child weaknesses or having the same weaknesses can cause major conflict.
For example, if you are flexible about time management, but your child is not there can be a big conflict over pick-up times or planning activities. You may talk to one more friend or try to fit in one more errand whereas your child may worry if not picked up at a specific time or want something done within a time frame that works with other activities they’ve planned, etc.
Another example is if both of you are bad at task initiation and know the kitchen needs to be cleaned before doing something else. It could be fun like making cookies or necessary like working on a science project. Both of you put it off and are stressed, blaming each other for not getting a task done that neither of you wanted to do, but need to do.
Here are some tips Peg Dawson suggests when EF skills between parent and child conflict:
Entender cómo las habilidades de EF afectan a las relaciones entre padres e hijos
En “Smart But Scattered”, Peg Dawson explica la importancia de comprender tus puntos fuertes y débiles ejecutivos en comparación con los de tu hijo. Si los puntos fuertes coinciden, es posible que os llevéis bien cuando se correspondan.
Sin embargo, la diferencia entre los puntos fuertes de los padres y los puntos débiles de los hijos, o el hecho de tener los mismos puntos débiles, puede provocar un gran conflicto.
Por ejemplo, si usted es flexible en cuanto a la gestión del tiempo, pero su hijo no lo es, puede haber un gran conflicto en cuanto a las horas de recogida o la planificación de actividades. Usted puede hablar con un amigo más o intentar hacer un recado más, mientras que su hijo puede preocuparse si no le recogen a una hora concreta o quiere hacer algo dentro de un horario que funcione con otras actividades que ha planificado, etc.
Otro ejemplo es que ambos seáis malos iniciando tareas y sepáis que hay que limpiar la cocina antes de hacer otra cosa. Puede ser divertido, como hacer galletas, o necesario, como trabajar en un proyecto de ciencias. Ambos lo posponen y se estresan, culpándose mutuamente por no haber hecho una tarea que ninguno de los dos quería hacer, pero que es necesaria.
Estos son algunos consejos que Peg Dawson sugiere cuando las habilidades de EF entre padres e hijos entran en conflicto:
