Help your teen focus by modeling distraction-free driving and setting clear habits before they hit the road šŸš—

ā€œLast winter, Rosie began showing signs of ADHD: disorganization, difficulty starting tasks, and missed deadlines. Her dyslexia made reading a struggle, and her confidence began to slip.

I tried to set up an IEP or 504 plan through the public school system, but holiday delays and staff turnovers stalled the process. Eventually, I made the tough decision to reduce my teaching hours, and with the help of my mom, a retired teacher, Rosie and I made the transition to homeschooling.ā€

Abigail Hua was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age — and like many kids, she wasn’t sure why school suddenly felt so hard. Her grades dropped, and her confidence went with them. But everything started to shift when she discovered music šŸŽ»

Learning to play the violin gave Abigail more than a new skill, it gave her a sense of community and a way to express herself.

Her advice to parents: help your child find an outlet outside of academics. Whether it’s music, art, or something else entirely, those creative tools can open doors, rebuild confidence, and help kids see themselves in a new light šŸ™Œ
