## Resource

What if executive function skills weren’t taught through worksheets, but through adventure? In this episode, we sit down with Rhina Guzman, executive function coach at Untapped Learning and creator of our Dungeons & Dragons Executive Function Program. Rhina explains how a tabletop role-playing game becomes a powerful tool for building organization, emotional regulation, task initiation, planning, and social problem-solving. Students manage character sheets, navigate uncertainty, regulate emotions under pressure, collaborate in group decisions, and initiate problem-solving—all in a fully screen-free, high-engagement environment. This is executive function development through experience, not lectures. If you’re a parent looking for creative, real-world ways to help your child build independence and confidence, this episode will shift how you think about skill development.
