“Last 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.”

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 🙌
