Episode Details

We spend years helping kids with ADHD succeed in school, but are we actually teaching them how to function independently once parents, teachers, and accommodations aren't there to help?

Michael McLeod is an executive function specialist and the founder of GrowNOW ADHD, and he believes ADHD support needs to go beyond reminders, accommodations, and getting through the next assignment. With more than 20 years working with kids and families, Michael shares how parents and educators can help children build the self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, and problem-solving skills they need to manage real-life responsibilities independently.

In this episode:
→ How executive function gets built through relationships and experiences rather than reminders, accommodations, and worksheet strategies
→ The four skills kids need to manage real life: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, and problem solving
→ The difference between getting your kid through the next homework assignment and preparing them for the years after school
