50 Tips from my 50 Years to Help Your Family Shine (Day 1)

Understanding & Mindset

Their childhood isn’t a race
Their childhood isn’t a competition
Look inward, not out (create not watch others, focus on your little family when life is overwhelming)
Go with your gut, make a written plan. 
Not always a superpower & that’s ok. Enjoy the good days & know that the bad will pass. Just a phase.

Family gatherings can be intense for neurodiverse kids, but you can survive (and thrive) with these tips:

Prep Your Child: Talk through the schedule ahead of time

Set Expectations with Family: Let relatives know your child may need breaks & some topics or activities might be off-limits.

Build in Breaks: Quiet room, headphones, or outdoor walk.

Manage Your Stress: Your calm energy helps your child mirror that.

Preparation + clarity = fewer meltdowns & more fun for everyone.

Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) is not tutoring. It is the teaching & supports your child needs to access the curriculum in a way that works for them.

Without SDI, your child may sit in class but never truly learn the material. With SDI, they are being taught in a way that works for their brain.

Executive function skills are the hidden drivers behind your child’s success, or struggles, in school & life. These are the skills that help your child:

• Start tasks without reminders (task initiation)
• Plan & organize homework, projects, & daily routines
• Manage time and meet deadlines
• Control impulses & regulate emotions

Kids with ADHD & autism often need explicit teaching, supports & tools to strengthen these skills. Executive function isn’t laziness or lack of willpower. It’s a set of brain-based skills that can be taught and practiced.

Did you know we offer Executive Function Coaching for students, both virtually & in person (in the East Valley of Phoenix AZ)?

Comment EF bellow & I will send you a guide to the Executive Functions & a link for more info, if you like.

Teens with ADHD & autism can become safe & confident drivers, but they often need more practice, clear structure & extra support building driving skills.

A few tips that worked well in our family:

1. Outsource & use a driver’s ed school-bonus if they have neurodiverse experience.

2. Extra time behind the wheel. If your teen is not ready at the same age as their peers, that’s not a failure. That’s wisdom. Skill-building beats rushing every time.

3. Level ups: once driving, start small & create a list of levels, once they master one level onto the next. Slow & steady will have the same outcome, but safer.
