6 Ways to Help Your ADHD Teen Start the School Year Strong

If you have an ADHD teenager heading back to school, don't wait until the first day to get them ready. In this video, we are talking about getting the systems and routines around your teenager ready before the school year begins. One of the biggest mistakes parents make is allowing a completely unstructured summer routine and expecting an ADHD brain to instantly switch back into school mode. Here are 6 practical things you can start putting in place right now to help your ADHD teenager transition smoothly and start the year strong: Sleep: Learn how to slowly bring bedtime and wake-up times forward to reduce the shock of early school mornings. Transitions: Discover how to manage the two danger zones: getting out the door in the morning and shifting from school to homework. Expectations: Why you need to "agree the rules before the rows" to reduce endless negotiations. Screens: How to create a solid plan for phones, gaming, and school laptops before the daily battles start. Systems: Stop telling them to "remember harder" and start building external systems like visual planners and bag checklists. Relationships: Find out exactly what to tell teachers to get the best results, and how to help your teen work with people they might not click with. A successful school year starts with what you put in place before they walk through the gates.
