Back-to-School Without the Battles: Practical ADHD Strategies for Everyday Family Life with The Childhood Collective | E211
Back-to-school can bring a lot of pressure for families, especially when you're parenting a child with ADHD. How do you create routines that actually work, support your child without doing everything for them, and build independence without adding more battles to family life? In this episode, Andryanna is joined by child psychologist, Dr. Mallory Yee and speech language pathologist, Katie Severson from The Childhood Collective for a practical, compassionate conversation about navigating the back-to-school transition with ADHD. Drawing from their professional expertise and their own experiences raising children with ADHD, Mallory and Katie share strategies for working with an ADHD brain rather than continually trying to fit kids into systems that don't work for them. In this episode: • What executive functioning challenges actually look like in everyday family life; • How to recognize the difference between "won't" and "can't"; • Supporting your child without becoming their executive assistant; • Building independence gradually while providing the support ADHD kids need; • Creating ADHD-friendly routines that make mornings and school days easier; • Navigating different expectations and accommodations between siblings; • Building confidence in kids who are constantly being corrected; • Small changes parents can make to reduce back-to-school stress and mental load; • What parents of ADHD kids can give themselves permission to let go of this school year.
