This was a very helpful read. My son has ADHD and is in 5th grade/1st year of middle school at CFS in NC. Reading that these years should focus on building executive functioning skills through projects helped me understand my role as his parent through these projects. And that yes, he needs me to help him with this, and that it isn’t “cheating” but necessary. Thanks!!
This is so refreshing to read, thank you. My son has ADHD, dyslexia and reduced processing; homework has always been an issue as he’s exhausted when he returns home from school. He has had so much over the autumn half term break. I have completed it with him, as unfortunately his school don’t seem accommodating. It’s so frustrating as a parent!
