from Calm Parenting Podcast

Do you have a child who would rather argue for 2 hours over homework rather than complete it in 30 minutes?! Those of us with ADHD or neurodivergent brains learn in different ways, but schools usually only teach one way…leaving us feeling inferior and frustrated. That leads to unnecessary stress and fights over homework. I want to share odd, but effective ways to improve focus and executive function using the brain’s natural super powers.
