Shifting federal educational priorities and increased funding for pre-K means that more school counselors are interacting with and supporting children before kindergarten age in public school settings. One potential area of focus for school counseling with young students is executive function (EF), including emotional and behavioral regulation, noted in the research literature as essential skills that contribute to later school success. This position paper outlines the importance of EF and implications for school counselors, including using mindfulness as an intervention strategy to enhance young learners' EF in individual and group contexts as part of a school counseling program.
