I have 2 boys, 1 was diagnosed with ADHD in grade 2. I have a degree in Drama therapy and found that the way to help him learn was through song. We would sing words he didn’t understand and spelling words. This really worked and was a fun game to play. We also did a visual picture chart in sequence of morning routine. This really helped. This year he is at the end of grade 5 and has turned a huge corner. No longer requiring visuals and doing all his morning chores most days before the rest of the house is up. We did also have a massive change to our family diet which has helped everyone. It was an elimination diet called the plan. We cut out soooo much sugar. Most of the boys diet is fresh and limited sugar. No prosessed foods at all. It was hard in the beginning but the boys love it now. I also agree with teaching them respect. Respect oneself and others. Thanks for the read Selena

I have a son with ADHD and a daughter with ADD, Dyslexia and Anxiety…. So I understand the challenges. I definitely agree that making everything a game is a great strategy. My husband and I often found ourselves reprimanding my son for “racing” even when no one else knew he was racing against them (teehee). All we knew was he’d say “I beat!”. Instead of going against the grain we decided to use what worked for him.
