Join ADHD coach, Shannon Lindsay, for a 4-week Zoom class to talk about ways to support children with ADHD, whether they are medicated or not. During these 1.5 hour classes, we will talk about a number of ways to help make your and the child's life feel easier and more managable.

This class is for parents, teachers, guardians, and any adult who cares about a child with ADHD. This is not a class for children themselves.

Session topics include:

1. What's happening to this child?
We'll talk about the ADHD Garden of symptoms, the 8 ways that Executive Dysfunction affects behavior, and what it means to have an interest based nervous system. 

2. Routines and strategies
Even though your ADHDer might seem to revolt against rules, routines and strategies will make life easier for both of you. During this session, we'll talk about systems and routines you can put in place to provide your kid with a sense of predictability and structure.

3. Gadgets and gizmos
Remember the fidget spinner? Though a nightmare for teachers, there is a scientific explanation for why our ADHD minds crave gadgets and doodads to keep us focused. I'll give you some justification for why these are worth trying, and give some examples of some of my favorites.

4. Setting expectations
This, actually, is for the Guardians. For the most part, kids with ADHD are all too aware of what's expected of them and not being able to meet these expectations can lead to anxiety, depression, and more.  We'll use this class to work on what we can reasonably expect from our kids, and how to help keep them on track when it seems like they're losing focus.

The internet has become such a large part of our daily lives that having a basic understanding of its origins is essential. This course introduces the origins of the internet, how it works and what you can do on the internet.
