Homework Issues Make Relationship Issues: Strategies to Help With Homework With Lara Dawn

About this episode

This episode discusses homework challenges faced by families, particularly those with ADHD children, and offers strategies to manage these issues.

We're about a month into being back to school and here's the issue that's been coming up for me: homework. I was a bit hesitant on releasing an episode on this topic because to be fair, it sounds boring. But I know I'm not the only one struggling with this right now! And luckily, my incredible guest, Lara Dawn, certified teacher and founder of The ADHD Village, knows just how to turn this topic into an interesting conversation! In this episode on homework issues, we cover: The brain chemicals that play a role in making homework (especially for ADHD kids); How do we figure out what's going to work for our kids with all the busy schedules of the family?; Strategies for when this feels hard to get done as a parent; Breaking the task of homework into smaller pieces; And so much more! We always love hearing from you, so don't be shy, come over to our Facebook or Instagram and let us know what you thought about today's episode! Ps. Do you love listening to our podcast? It would mean the absolute world to us if you could leave a review on Apple Podcasts. This will help our show so we can help more parents and families feel more active and connected in their lives.
