People do well if they can

How about this for a concept....

'People do well if they can"

What does it mean?  Well, studies have shown that people who are struggling in life, struggling to manage with what life throws at them don't necessarily lack the 'Will' to do better, they often lack the 'Skills' to do better.

There are always exceptions to the rule, however the majority of people want to do well and if they aren't, why aren't they??

There are 5 main Neurocognitive skills - controlled by the prefrontal cortex - that  can be lacking in people.  There can be a number of reasons why these skills are missing or not fully developed, but I don't want to go in to that in this blog but, it's important to understand that these can all be learned and developed.

1. Language and communication skills.
2. Attention and working memory skills.
3. Emotion and self regulation skills.
4. Cognitive (thinking) skills.
5. Social skills.

So, if you know someone, or maybe you yourself, who is struggling, consider the above.  Are they struggling because of the lack of Will or the lack of Skill.
