347. ADHD and Homeschooling Part 2

Have you ever wondered whether your scattered systems, duplicate scissors, or frozen to-do list are actually character flaws, or clues to how your brain works? In this second conversation about ADHD in the homeschooling parent, we look at the inattentive traits that can hide behind daydreaming, over-planning, lost objects, and task paralysis. We talk about accommodations, body doubling, medication, the ADHD tax, and why evaluations can miss neurodivergent homeschooled kids whose lives are already beautifully adapted to their needs. Most of all, we name the relief that comes when shame gives way to information. Listen in and let’s make room for every brain in the homeschool.Resources:DIVA questionnaire for ADHD: Advancedassessments.co.ukSign up for our free Brave Writer Summer Camp!Registration for our Semester of Classes opens July 13-17 Check out the special offer at Talkbox.MOM/brave and start speaking a new language with your kids from day one!Find our favorite readalouds and nonfiction in the Brave Writer Book ShopBrave Writer class registration Visit Julie’s Substack to find her special podcast for kids (and a lot more!)
