The inability to set and meet goals, make plans and carry them out. Without the ability to foresee consequences, there is little impulse control and delinquent behavior flourishes. 

The inability to concentrate and prioritize tasks. Without this key skill, we are unable to create goals, hold a job, manage a family, or become a functional member of society.

The inability to control how we respond to stressful situations. This can lead to addictions and extreme risk-taking behaviors that can hurt ourselves and others.

The inability to empathize or notice ourselves, other people, and situations around us. If a child's personality forms around this lacking core life skill, they may grow up to be entitled or narcissistic and unable to see when they are negatively impacting others.

The inability to adapt to changing situations in a constructive way. This can result in extreme beliefs, sexist/racist ideology, and violent behavior. When we have poor flexibility, we don't respect other people's boundaries and can become dishonest or aggressive.
