CFLC Library Monthly Newsletter
OCTOBER 2022
A MESSAGE TO FAMILIES, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, & EDUCATORS
Happy October!
October is National ADHD Awareness month so below you will find resources on the topic of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as well as information about executive functioning and self-regulation. Executive function and self-regulation skills are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully. Children, teens, and adults use executive functioning and self-regulation skills everyday so the resources below are for all ages.
The CFLC Resource Library has many parenting and children's books to help you better understanding executive function, self-regulation, and ADHD.
As always, please look through the current community events at the bottom of this newsletter as well as previous CFLC newsletters!

Smart But Scattered
"The latest research in child development shows that many kids who have the brain and heart to succeed lack or lag behind in crucial “executive skills”--the fundamental habits of mind required for getting organized, staying focused, and controlling impulses and emotions. Learn easy-to-follow steps to identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses, use activities and techniques proven to boost specific skills, and problem-solve daily routines. Small changes can add up to big improvements--this empowering book shows how." - Amazon
