Past Speaker Series Events
On September 17, 2025, we welcomed Dr. Michael Cheng, a psychiatrist at CHEO, for a session exploring executive function (EF) skills, like impulse control, emotional regulation, planning and flexible thinking.
These skills are essential for daily life, and when they are underdeveloped, children and adults may struggle emotionally and behaviourally. Dr. Cheng shared how to support the development of EF skills through empathy, calm environments, routines and more.
