Dance and Freeze
Parent plays a movement game where your child dances when shown green paper and freezes when shown red paper. The agent coaches the parent to observe attention to instructions, impulse control, and two-step processing as your child practices executive function skills through playful movement.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Parent has red and green paper (or two distinct colored objects). Open space for movement. Best done before a transition like bath or mealtime to help with routine shifts.
