If your child has ADHD, have you set up a meeting with your child’s teacher or at least written a note to him/her letting them know about it and explaining some of their challenges? One of the most important steps to your child’s scholastic success is a relationship of trust with your child’s teachers.

I’m told that being married to an ADHDer can be a bit of a challenge. 😀 My wife says that one of her biggest frustrations is that I can never finish a “home projects” in one go. I’m embarrassed to admit that there have been “honey-dos” around the home that should have taken me 5 hrs to complete, but instead took 2 yrs!
What are some struggles in your relationships with ADHDers? And how do you deal with the situations? My wife has fine-tuned the art of catching the right moment to get me back on track with lack-luster, but necessary tasks. She says, she tries to catch me while I’m rested, up-beat and on the cusp of some fun, adventure-filled activity. Of course, sometimes she just threatens to beat me up…Joking! 🙂

This week I’m challenging all of you to finish that project you started weeks ago that is still not done. It’s not an urgent project, but it’s an important one. It’s the one you start sighing guiltily about when it pops in your head. ADHDers have a really hard time wrapping things up unless the deadline is staring us right in the eyeball, but the non-urgent, IMPORTANT projects should get priority too!
I’d like to know how you’re going to reward yourself for completing one of your important, non-urgent projects this week. What fun thing will you be enjoying this weekend because you’ll get your project wrapped up once and for all? I think I’m going to go see Iron Man 2 and buy some new fishing tackle…:-D

If your ADHD came with Dyslexia like mine did, then reading probably has been and continues to be a challenge. But guess what? Hard or not, reading makes you better! If you struggle with words like I do, remember, the only way to get better is to keep at it. Your vocabulary grows, your spelling gets better, you can express yourself more clearly and all these help with self-confidence. Reading is the p90X for the brain!
