Managing ADHD brains (ours and theirs) is no easy task.
There will be battles and power struggles, of course, but they don’t have to dominate our summer days.
Over the next five weeks I'll be sending out the exact strategies that I’ve taught my clients and use in my own home!
We will start with the Summer Set Up strategy to get our central command in place and our expectations aligned.
We will follow this up with the Super Simple Schedule and/or the Summer Days Pages to support healthy behaviors during those long stretches of free time.
Both of these strategies will provide some freedom and direction for our little busy bodies. I’m willing to bet that they’ll be surprised by how much they didn’t completely hate it.
Meanwhile we will set some healthy boundaries around screens, with the 80/20 Screen Time strategy. Our ADHD kids can’t be expected to manage this dopamine draw. Even into adulthood, for some of us. (Me... I’m talking about me.)
If we challenge ourselves to implement even just one strategy per week, we will be around the fifth week by this point. Already rounding the corner back to a new school year! It will be perfect timing to support the brain by Optimizing Nutrients, before the school year begins.
