From morning routines to classroom partnerships
The school bell can trigger anxiety for families managing ADHD, but preparation turns chaos into calm. Start by resetting sleep schedules two weeks early and practicing the bus or car line. Visual morning checklists keep everyone on track, while backpack stations eliminate last-minute scavenger hunts and frantic exits.
Once classes begin, keep communication open. Share your child’s 504 or IEP goals with teachers and check in weekly via email. Use color-coded folders for homework and a timer for focused study bursts. Celebrate each completed assignment—dopamine works wonders. Together, home and school can transform ADHD challenges into strengths.
