  • ADHD parents: how do you help your ADHD kid with homework?

  • I think the underlying mechanics is the instrumental music keeps a portion of my brain occupied/ interested in the same way that fidget toys are supposed to while simultaneously blocking environmental distractions.

    That has made me remember another trick...I have "wiggle pedals" for my feet. They are similar to an under desk bike pedal device but allow for multidirectional movement. Found them, they're called Hovr. A really good substitute would be those elastic exercise bands stretched over the legs of the chair. Like these...

    I have on occasion used the headphones and the Hovr pedals at the same time, and I experienced what can only be described as the Vince McMahon reaction meme (the glowing eyes one). Shame I used that power on drafting board financial reports and not solving global warming, but I didn't have that on my to do list.

  • When i have a "have to do" thing I'm struggling to start and I've already done just about everything else avoiding it, I "put my ears on". That is, I get my noise canceling headphones and play something like the lofi study girl on YouTube. I actually prefer something more up tempo, so experiment around with the different suggested videos, but that classic is a good starting place.

    I wish I'd had this in my toolbox when i was in school but I didn't figure it out until my late 30s. When i put the over the ear set on, it's like it signals to my brain that it's buckle down and do the necessary thing time. I do still have to take some breaks, and I'm afraid to overuse this since it does work well for me. I don't want to wear out its effectiveness! 😅

  • Another fruit/nut combo to try are craisins and slivered almonds. I'm not a fan of raisins unless they're in cinnamon bread or bagels, but I love substituting craisins in salads and other savory dishes that call for raisins.
