Abstract
This research study was experimental research which aimed to develop and examine the effects of the storytelling based on the Royal Guidance King RAMA IX program for enhancing the executive functions (EFs) of the brain in early childhood. Sample was, 54 students, who studied in Bansrimaharacha School, Chonburi. Purposive sampling randomly into two groups: experimental and control, 27 persons each. The experimental group received the program 4 times a week for 12 times and 50 minutes each time, while the control group received the regular studies from school.

This research design was a pretest–posttest design; the data were analyzed with the t-test.
The results of the study indicated as follows; 1) The students in the experimental group had significantly lower executive dysfunctions score than those in the control group in the post-test phase (p<.05). 2) The students in the experimental group had significantly lower executive dysfunctions score in the post-test phase than the pretest phase (p<.05). It could be concluded that the storytelling based on the Royal Guidance of King Rama IX program was effectively for enhancing the EFs of the brain in early childhood.
