One of the biggest afterschool frustrations for parents is the way kids with ADHD often cannot stay on task to get their homework done even when things are setup for success…
✅ Snack
✅ Hydrated
✅ Movement
✅ Connection
They sit down at the table, are told to work for just 15 minutes…and you swing by after 15 and nothing’s happened…
It’s not the child’s willpower…it’s their ADHD brain wiring time blindness…nothing to fix here with your child…it’s their environment and the approach that we need to tweak.
How to fix that: make them visually aware of the time required without having to do any math or check a screen for the time.
In this quick video I talk through exactly what to do if you’re struggling with time blindness.
Also! Later this month I’m running 4 week program for parents of kids with ADHD called the Parenting ADHD Systems Upgrade where you learn way more strategies to put in place for your child. Not a bunch of random tips but a systems (biological, environment, and relational) approach to getting to a good place this semester. More info & get on the waitlist here:
