What does the term "executive functioning" mean, and how do you know if your child is struggling in this area? Dr. Daniela Montalto of the NYU Langone Child Study Center explains how the brain's executive functions really are like a CEO. If they're not working properly, even the brightest kids may have trouble accomplishing what they need to get done. Dr. Montalto, PhD, is the clinical director of the Child Study Center's Institute for Learning and Academic Achievement.
