Positive Notes for Kids: A 14-Day Connection Activity Parents Can Start Today

The Activity:

Back to School Reminders for Parents of ADHD Children
The back-to-school season is a big shift for children and parents alike. New routines, earlier mornings, changing expectations, new social interactions, remembering all of the things, it can feel like a lot all at once, especially for ADHD families.
Whether this is your first year navigating it or you’ve done it many times before, here are some reminders I find myself sharing with parents (and myself!) to keep in mind during the transition period.
