QUOTES

Leanne: "Attention is this collection of things and the interaction between them.”

Leanne: "What we don't do well as humans, is switch. Switch between things. And that's what these teens are doing. And they're learning to do it in a way that feels better for themselves.”

Leanne: "You'd be far more effective, far less error-prone if you actually focused on one task at a time and not distracted with your favorite music, your, you know, stream of your favorite game.”

Leanne: "Exercise has great effects on attention. And that sort of the broader thing that sort of sits above it, we can call executive function for kids as well as adults.

Leanne: "Meditation actually can be a really a powerful skill to provide to child, adolescents so that they can learn to manage their own attention.”
