In Developing Executive Functioning in the Early Years, Dr Rosalyn Muir delves into the crucial yet often overlooked domain of executive functioning in young children. Drawing on more than 30 years of educational experience and rigorous PhD research, Dr Muir introduces the SOWATT framework - a practical toolkit for educators. This book bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering actionable strategies for developing executive functions such as self-regulation, working memory and cognitive flexibility.

Dr Muir's work is deeply rooted in contemporary educational goals, resonating with the OECD's vision of student agency and the Early Years Learning Framework. Through the lens of the SOWATT framework, educators are provided with concrete steps to cultivate these essential skills in the classroom. This book emphasises that all children - not just those with learning difficulties - benefit from the intentional development of executive functions. By presenting a holistic and accessible approach, the author empowers educators to transform their practice, ultimately setting up children for a lifetime of success and fulfilment.
