SUMMARY

Let's take a moment to imagine a scenario. Picture yourself in a typical workday, hustling in your office. It's non-stop, and by the end of the day, you're exhausted, craving nothing more than some well-deserved relaxation at home. However, as soon as you step through your front door, your boss sends you a flurry of texts with a laundry list of tasks that need immediate attention. Sounds pretty dreadful, doesn't it? This is how homework can feel to children with ADHD. They have kept it together ALL day long at school, and their brains are tired. This turns into battles at home, kids using negative self-talk, and mountains of stress. In this episode, we are getting to the root of homework resistance and providing tools to minimize the struggle.
