Reflection Sciences, Inc. Measure executive function (EF) with the #1 digital measure of EF in our easy to use EFgo app.

Founded in 2014 by scientists at the University of Minnesota, Reflection Sciences provides training and tools for assessing executive function skills in early childhood and across the lifespan. Executive function (EF) refers to neurocognitive skills, such as attention, working memory, self-control, and cognitive flexibility, that are involved in goal-directed problem solving. These are essential life skills that provide a foundation for learning and adaptation in a wide range of contexts. EF skills make it possible for children to learn effectively and efficiently in a classroom context, and they protect children against risks associated with adversity. EF measured in childhood has been proven to predict school readiness, academic achievement, and educational attainment, as well as career success, health, wealth, and well-being in adulthood.

“Should my child be doing this already?” If you’ve ever asked yourself this… you’re not alone.
Skills like: focus, waiting, following directions, managing emotions don’t happen all at once.

They grow over time, and every child has their own pace. Some days will feel like progress. Some days will feel like a step back. But growth is still happening.

When children:
Explore ideas
Create freely
Follow their curiosity

“My child can read the words, but doesn’t understand the story.” Sound familiar? Reading is more than just letters and sounds.
Your child is also:
-Remembering what they read
-Staying focused
-Making sense of what’s happening
So when they lose track or get frustrated, it doesn’t always mean they’re behind—it may mean they need support with these skills. And the best part? These skills can grow.

How many times have you heard: “I’m bored…” Here’s a simple shift that can change that: Instead of giving ideas… let your child make a plan.

Let’s be honest, cooking with kids can be a challenge. Still, it’s worth it. When your child says, “I did it myself!” you see their confidence and learning grow. Even simple tasks like stirring, pouring, or adding ingredients help your child practice patience, focus, and following directions. You don’t need a perfect recipe, just a little time together.
