This was immensely helpful, especially the part about reading comprehension. My son has ADHD too, and as he gets older (11years old) the gap between “expectation” (mine, based on having raised 3 kids before him) and ability widens. This summer I’m really working on adjusting my expectations and finding some accommodations as we head into the new school year because what we’ve been doing is not helping him be successful and confident. Thank you for outlining how you approach reading! This sounds like exactly what we need to try!
Let me know how it works out!
I have a 15 year old who struggles with ADD. This video was so helpful! Thank you!
I am so glad it was helpful!
I love the approach that you've taken to help your son be successful. You are doing a wonderful job. I'm thankful you are sharing your journey and to know homeschool can be done so many ways and our kids are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Thank you so much!❤️
I love what you do for your math too and I completely agree it’s all about teaching them the tools how and they’ll figure it out.
Thanks for collabing with me! ❤❤ this was such a good video
We must do it again!
Such a great video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, yes, yes!! So good! Thank you 💕
Thank you❤️
I appreciate your videos! ❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate you watching!
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you for sharing this. I’m always inspired by your confidence to do what works for your family even when it doesn’t align with all the other RUclips content for homeschooling. Thank you for being honest and real. 😊
Some of the examples you gave not only describe my child, but maybe even myself! Wondering if you know of any resources for self testing to determine if someone has ADHD, as a place to start?
Thank you! I am so glad it was helpful.

That link was recommended in a class I just took all about ADHD. It may be helpful.
@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife thank you so much, very helpful!
Thank you so much for this. It’s hard finding information on high school and adhd. My son hates school and we’re just starting freshman year 😢
I just hope it was helpful. Reach out if you have any questions. I will be happy to help.
@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife is it normal for them to not care, like I chose two electives for him because he doesn’t care. I try to let him choose topics, order, etc he doesn’t care.
@@Sancho.jd2completely normal. It will all work itself out.
Do you break subjects up and do history one day, science the next? I’ve been thinking about doing that but he doesn’t remember things and I don’t know if that would be beneficial
@@Sancho.jd2we have before and that worked out well. We just alternated days. If you keep them the same day, just keep the lessons short.
I’m just starting to watch the video but looking forward to it. My oldest definitely has adhd and pretty sure my hubby does, too. We tried school for two years because hubby couldn’t understand why he was the way he was and thought the school setting would be better. Was not! I won’t lie, I’m most worried about him because from the outside it looks like poor work ethic 😩
I’m using supplements from Dr Amen and my son said it quiets his mind. We’ve never tried meds. I’m not against giving it a shot if needed but it will be last resort.
We are planning on using the adhd paper that you place over a page to help focus. We will have breaks and he can sit on our exercise ball during classes. Plus, I picked really interesting curriculum so I’m praying it all goes well.
I agree, it can look like pot work ethic or bad behavior. It looks like you have a good plan though.
@@Sofiv3 my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia and add. Inattentive. Several years later, my own Dr was listening to my symptoms of anxiety and asked if anyone in my family had been diagnosed with ADD. 😂 Lol. Come to find out, after trying a stimulant medication, my executive functioning is so much better, that the anxiety is almost nil. So amazing that all along I thought if I just tried harder, was a better person, worker, mom, organizer, etc. , things would be better. I was expecting the impossible from myself and beating myself up for years! My daughter is currently able to cope without medication bc we make accommodations like Ashley was talking about, but I will never hesitate to let her try medication if she ever wants to. It can be a game changer for focus and productivity for ppl of all ages. Aren't we blessed to be able to accommodate for our kids and use scaffolding to help prepare them for life without us as their anchor? My daughter would have just been drug along or seen as a behavior problem (inattentive) in public or private school. Instead, we celebrate her creativity and artistry ❤️
@@ginamcgrew9955 I hear girls typically do not get diagnosed as soon as boys do I’m glad you found some answers and were able to stop being hard on yourself. I do hope I can set my son up for success. It’s tough for me to decipher what are practical expectations from what are impractical ones. So I want to empower him but not enable him. We’ll see how it goes. Just figuring it out as we go!
I’m a wannabe unschooler
Me too!
Do you have a happy mail address? Snail mail? P.o.box?
I don’t. I’m sorry.
