    20 How to Plan Homeschool Reading and Find Books for Resistant and Struggling Readers

    What do you do when your child is struggling with reading? Navigating reading challenges, dyslexia, or ADHD How do you find good books that fit your child’s interests? How do you turn  your family read aloud into a time of connection rather than a battle?   In this episode, we discuss strategies to take the pressure off frustrated readers, ideas to support reluctant readers, how to find good books, and how to keep our book list organized! *Note: I want to make a distinction before we get started. This isn't an episode about how to teach a child with dyslexia to read. There are wonderful specialists and evidence-based approaches for that.

    16 5 Things Homeschooling Gives Children with ADHD That Traditional Schools Often Can't

    Have you ever wondered if your child is struggling because of ADHD—or because they're trying to learn in an environment that wasn't designed with neurodivergent brains in mind?   In this episode, I'm sharing five reasons why homeschooling can be such a powerful option for children with ADHD. This isn't about saying traditional schools are "bad." There are incredible teachers doing amazing work every day. But many ADHD learners need flexibility, individualized support, and opportunities to build executive functioning skills that are difficult to provide in a traditional classroom. We'll talk about how homeschooling allows us to create a learning environment that supports regulation, teach the life skills our kids actually need, nurture their interests, and prepare them for a rapidly changing world. Most importantly, homeschooling gives us the opportunity to help our children grow into confident, capable adults while honoring the unique way God created them.   Related Resources from Homeschooling Systems for ADHD Families   Free Simple Homeschool Systems Workshop: sign up here!   Continue the conversation in the Facebook group!
