Your Smart Kid Deserves Independence, Not Constant Micromanaging

Does this sound familiar?

  • Homework gets done but never submitted
  • Backpacks and lockers look like disaster zones
  • Your child hyperfocuses on fun tasks but can't start boring assignments
  • They know the material but bomb tests anyway
  • You're exhausted from constant hovering and organizing

You're not alone. Your capable child isn't lazy or careless - their ADHD brain just needs different systems.

From Helicopter Parent to Proud Observer

Hi, I'm [Your Name], a board-certified behavior analyst who's spent years in school systems seeing what works and what fails. But I also live this daily - I have ADHD, and so do my kids. I understand both the professional solutions AND the kitchen table chaos.

Here's what changes:

  • Your child learns to break overwhelming projects into manageable chunks
  • They develop personal organization systems that work WITH their brain
  • They build self-advocacy skills to get what they need from teachers
  • You stop rescuing and start watching them succeed independently

Don't Let Brilliant Potential Get Lost

Without intervention, those missed assignments pile up. Your child gets lost in busy classrooms, becomes completely dependent on adult management, and carries learned helplessness into adulthood.

Your child's future doesn't have to depend on having the "right" teacher or perfect environment.
