Executive function is a set of skills that allow children to control their behaviour

Executive function is a set of skills that allow people to control their behaviour and direct it toward longer-term goals, rather than doing what is automatic or easiest to accomplish. These skills are exercised when children pause and reflect before reacting, according to researchers.
