It does, however, mean you need to help your child maintain a sense of control in the daily routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Routine trumps a structured schedule every time.<\/strong> When kids know that morning chores come before breakfast, then comes independent work, then group work, then lunch, then free time, then dinner, then bedtime, they know what to expect &#8212; regardless of how much time each activity takes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/adhd-2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-61943 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/adhd-2-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Tips for homeschooling your child with adhd\" width=\"651\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/adhd-2-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/adhd-2-1-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/adhd-2-1-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/adhd-2-1-260x195.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 651px) 100vw, 651px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Create short lessons. \u00a0<\/b>One of the best homeschool tips for teaching a child that has been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD is to adjust the activity times to suit their stamina. \u00a0In a traditional school environment, most subjects are covered in 30-45 minute increments at a time. \u00a0In a homeschool environment, you can focus on shorter class times that will work better for your child and their limited attention span.<\/p>\n<p>Start with 15-minute sessions or activities. \u00a0In between each 15-minute time block, give your child (and you!) brain breaks or a chance to stretch their legs. Play outside, grab a snack, take time to dance in the kitchen&#8230; any of these things can get you and your kiddo recharged to keep going.<\/p>\n<p><b>Allow for movement. <\/b>Like my son, your <a href=\"https:\/\/raisinglifelonglearners.com\/adapting-homeschool-for-wiggly-boys-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ADHD child probably needs to move<\/a> all the time. In a school setting, this was a &#8220;behavior&#8221; that gets kids in trouble. Remember &#8212; homeschooling offers the flexibility to teach how a child needs to learn. Math facts on the trampoline? Absolutely! Reading while upside down on the couch with the dog curled in the lap and feet tap on the wall? Sure, why not!<\/p>\n<p>Kids can also sit on exercise balls, fidget or hum while doing math, or do jumping jacks in between comprehension questions.\u00a0Pick what works for your child. \u00a0You have to think about the struggles your unique child has to determine what will work best for them in this situation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_61944\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61944\" style=\"width: 651px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ADHD-Trev.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-61944\" src=\"https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ADHD-Trev-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Tips for homeschooling your child with adhd\" width=\"651\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ADHD-Trev-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ADHD-Trev-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ADHD-Trev-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ADHD-Trev-260x195.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 651px) 100vw, 651px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-61944\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Originally published Sept 2020<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Get involved in local homeschool groups.\u00a0<\/b>This is truly invaluable for most homeschooling parents. \u00a0Including local homeschool group meetings into your homeschool schedule can make a huge difference in your productivity and the success of your child.<b> \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/raisinglifelonglearners.com\/homeschooling-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tons of options<\/a> for homeschool groups to consider. \u00a0Some are strictly co-op situations that are educational. \u00a0Others are for field trips and playdates.\u00a0 Some, in light of the current situation we face during a pandemic, are only meeting online. <strong>Search for options in your city, county, and your state so you check out multiple options to see what works best for your kiddo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember as you are adapting your homeschool &#8212; consider your child above all, and not just what others are recommending. \u00a0Every child diagnosed with ADHD and ADD (or <a href=\"https:\/\/raisinglifelonglearners.com\/overexcitabilities-and-why-they-matter-for-gifted-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">overexcitabilities<\/a>) will have different struggles. \u00a0Some will be physically more active, while others may struggle to concentrate on one subject for long time periods. \u00a0The reason most parents choose to homeschool is to truly make education work for their child.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got this!
