Would you like to get some extra help keeping your ADHD child on track this school year?

Is one on one coaching more than you need, or just something you’re not interested in?

As an ADD Coach, I find that most clients are usually doing very well after about 3 months of coaching.

In addition, the same problems seem to come up over and over again for most people with Attention Deficit Disorder:

    Lifestyle issues, like diet, sleep patterns, etc.
    Organizational skills
    Time management
    Classroom and study skills

I’ve taken these four most common issues and designed a do it yourself coaching program around them.

12 Week Email Coaching Program

12 Week Email Coaching Program

Each week, you will receive an email addressing a new skill for the week and building upon what you’ve done previously. In addition, some weeks you will receive bonus information - additional worksheets or reading material to help you get the most out of that week’s coaching.

At the end of 12 weeks, you should be seeing a positive change in your child and in how they manage their ADHD symptoms. You will have the added benefit of learning more about your child and how ADHD affects their life, as well as sharing a special experience with them.

This 12 Week Email Coaching Program was designed to be shared between parent and child, but is easily adaptable for older students as well.

Best of all, it’s only $12.00, or $1.00 a week! Order yours today and get started right away!

Breaks and Chunking

I can’t even imagine what you must think today’s post is about :)

In fact, it’s about two ideas that work well together to help your ADHD student study more effectively.

Breaks are a cardinal rule when it comes to Attention Deficit Disorder - and not just when it concerns studying.

Your brain, whether it’s ADHD or not, needs a break about every 15-20 minutes to absorb and store new information. Learning something new without taking a break almost guarantees that your brain will lose some information.

A break doesn’t have to be long; a minute or two is fine. Take a bathroom break, get a drink, stretch - whatever. Just give your brain a little rest.

Chunking is the idea of taking a chunk of information and studying it at once.

Let’s say your child needs to read a chapter in their history book for homework. Sitting down and reading start to finish will accomplish very little and allow your child to retain next to nothing.

Instead, think of each chapter section as one chunk. Take 15 minutes to read just that section and understand it. Look at the pictures, the words that are in bold or otherwise highlighted. Try to get as much meaning as possible from that small chunk of information, then take a break.

The break will allow your brain to take what you’ve just put in and file it correctly so that you can retrieve it later.

These are two simple concepts that, when put into regular practice, can make a big difference in your child’s grades and overall learning.

When I gave you those links for more information about learning styles, I forgot a very important one.

Time4Learning is a home school curriculum blog, but there is an excellent article about learning styles there, too. Check it out!
