Executive Functions are complex cognitive processes that we need for social, goal directed and efficient behavior:
•    Inhibition
•    Emotional Regulation
•    Working Memory

•    Remember the steps when solving a math calculation (working memory) 
•    Being on time for the school bus (time management)
