Does your child struggle with organizing homework and school assignments? Are they frequently misplacing important papers, forgetting to hand in homework and misplacing completed work? Do you ever get a call from your child asking you to bring in their musical instrument? Lunch? Homework? Does your child struggle to complete basic routines around the home?
Kids that struggle with attention and organization may experience the scenarios above or variations of such issues. This can increase stress and anxiety in any household, which then exacerbates feelings of disorganization and can make all family members feel less and less in control of getting on the right path.
Oftentimes children with ADHD and executive function issues are challenged and overwhelmed by tasks that involve small and large amounts of organization for success. For such kids, getting 'lost in the process' undermines their ability to get a task going effectively. Skills around budgeting time, prioritizing assignments lists and clearly knowing where one is in 'the process' can be daunting without the proper supports in place.
