Episode description

Transitions are rough for ADHD. 

Back to School season brings a mountain of new details to absorb, way too many forms to keep track of, and deadlines swarming like flies. 

So I created a Back To School preparedness list: let's turn the craziness into calm in August and September. When we have thought about how we can prepare for what we know is coming, it makes the doing a lot less overwhelming.

That means that we can use our finite amount of energy that's left over to tackle the unpredictable that inevitably comes with a new school year. And if the school year has already started for you, listen in; these tips can be used to make any part of the school year feel in control.

For more on school support for kids and moms with ADHD, listen to:

- Episode 26: Build a supportive Partnership with your child's teacher 

Episode 27: How to tell your Child's Teacher about their ADHD 

Episode 34: How to use Parent-Teacher Conferences to Help your ADHD Child at School 

This episode originally aired in August of 2019. As I take a break for the summer and quality time with my family, I'm sharing episodes that will help you get ready for the summer, support you with some integral support skills for ADHD, and then get ready for the new school year.

To hang out with me over the summer, you can:

1) hop on over to our free Facebook community to meet your people and feel like you're not a weirdo -AND/OR- 

2) join me on Wednesdays during our weekly meetings by signing up for my course, Daily Planning for ADHD Moms, where you'll get your day organized and actually show up for stuff mostly on time, or my program, Time Management Mastery for ADHD Moms where you'll create the best daily routine for you and your family that your ADHD brain will actually be okay with following. Get stuff done while you love your life & your brain. 

I'm cooking up some good stuff behind the scenes. Plus I'll see you in the fall with brand new episodes! Talk to you then, Successful Mama!
