Homeschooling with A.D.H.D. Parenting with L.O.V.E.
We’ve been writing about homeschooling with ADHD for a while. Which makes sense because we’re homeschooling kids with ADHD in our own family. 🙂 If you picture ADHD as a condition that involves constant motion, you’d be right…and wrong. Some kids are physically hyperactive, while others are mentally hyperactive, and still others are both and/orKeep Reading…
Homeschool planning season is typically an exciting time of year for parents. We get to get out our planners, write up lesson plans, and schedule our days to make sure we cover all of the objectives for the year. But if you’re homeschooling children with ADHD, it’s not that simple. I still feel the excitementKeep Reading…
Can we talk about wiggle worms for a minute? As I’ve mentioned extensively on the blog, we’re homeschooling multiple children with ADHD, which means that wiggly kids are an everyday occurrence around here. Using a simple fidget is a proven way to help kids with ADHD improve attention span and executive functioning. And, since attentionKeep Reading…
My youngest son is a bit of a challenge when it comes to teaching math. He has ADHD, so he’s super active and his attention span is extremely short. He likes math in general, but when it’s time to do some actual work, he tends to whine, tune out, and get frustrated. So I was excited toKeep Reading…
Three of our kids are living with ADHD and, needless to say, it makes life interesting! But it also makes our days rather challenging, especially because we are dealing with sensory processing issues with two of them as well. Back in April, we received the iLs Total Home Focus program to try out for severalKeep Reading…
It’s no secret that lots of kids struggle with math. And kids with ADHD who tend to have attention issues may have a harder time than most. In our family, Tigger (our oldest daughter) has been a lifelong math-hater. She just loses all interest and tries to get through it, instead of trying to graspKeep Reading…
If you have a child with ADHD, you might find that sitting down to teach math is…a bit of a challenge. Well, in my family, the word “challenge” isn’t quite strong enough to describe how difficult math lessons can be. Let’s try “cage match to the death”. I think that’s more accurate. 🙂 My wigglyKeep Reading…
We’ve been writing about homeschooling with ADHD here at Look! We’re Learning! for quite a while, but I (in typical ADD fashion) have been procrastinating with this eBook. I’ve wanted to write it for months, but it seemed overwhelming and just..impossible. I did mention I have ADD, right? But here it (finally) is! This eBookKeep Reading…
I’ve been sharing about my decision to return to homeschooling this fall after enrolling my kids in public school for a few months last school year. One of the major reasons why I decided to take a homeschooling break was because I was burned out. Three of our kids have ADHD, as do I, andKeep Reading…
We’ve been homeschooling for several years, but we still make adjustments to our homeschool schedule each year. And once we learned that some of our children had ADHD, we had to make some drastic changes to our daily routine. I’ve been reading some great books on managing ADHD with kids, and I’ve learned some excellentKeep Reading…
