I’m So glad I found you. : ) I have been homeschooling my 11 year old son, on and off, for the better part of the last three years.
I was at my wits end, Again today, when I found your site, out of shear desperation.
I identify easily, with all that you’ve said so far and can’t wait to read more.

In reply to Nita. I have 2 with ADHD and that is some excellent advive. I have printed it out for ME to memorize. Too many times I want to have a tantrum right along with them.

My son just doesn’t want to learn at all because it is all boring BUT like all ADHD people, he is very smart and surprises me at whatvand how much he knows.

The problem with me is that my son and me clash quite a lot because he doesn’t want to and he needs to do his learning. My frustrations come when I feel under pressure from my husband for our son to learn. Unfortunately, because my hubby is FIFO he mostly sees the downside of our learning process and not the days when our son will just sit and do a whole weeks work in one day.

As the weather gets warmer my son wants to learn less and he has a lot more tics and twitches that he doesn’t want to control but he can.

My son was in school but I ended up doing the work he didn’t do at school at home that we just bit the bullet and started homeschooling.

We have only been doing this for 12 months but I don’t want this journey to end.

I am currently struggling with the 3rd week into homeschooling my son with ADHD. It is one of the most difficult steps to take. I am working on a routine, but nothing motivates him to do anything. I am glad however, that I’m seeing other’s success. This gives me hope!!!

Yes. Very Intense! I’m so grateful that my mom helps out twice a week to allow us some downtime.

My son has autism as well as ADHD, so we have a lot of days pulling our hair out, but also some lovely days that make it all worthwhile.

In reply to Nita. Hi Nita, I was wondering if you could elaborate on how your mother-in-law "Cut off the emotion responses to a child's tantrum"? This is my number one problem, I haven't disciplined myself enough and tend to respond emotionally to my kids' emotional responses. Both my 8 year old son and I have ADHD. I realize I need to discipline myself more, but is there any way you can elaborate more on some of her practices, I could use all the help I can get! Were there specific things she did? Thanks!

In reply to Dawn.

You’re right. These are generally the same pros and cons for homeschooling in general; it’s just that ADHD makes them more intense, you know?

Thanks for stopping by!
