FREE GUIDE FOR PARENTS OF ADHD KIDS
You can already feel high school coming.
Twelve pages on what the jump quietly asks of an ADHD brain, and where to start.
What is inside
The jump, in one picture. One teacher becomes six or seven in a fortnight, and nobody hands them extra capacity to cope with it.
Why the small things tip them over. What is actually happening at 3:40 when the door slams, and what helps.
What is genuinely brilliant about this brain. The part almost nobody writes about.
The twelve skills high school assumes they already have. None of them show up on a report card. All of them get tested in the first fortnight.
Three things you can do this week. Small and ordinary. No diagnosis, no program, no free weekend required.
Whether high school is still a year or two away, or you are already in it and it is not going the way you hoped.
Takes about seven minutes to read.
