A Parent’s Guide to Effective Routines

Peaceful, stress-free mornings (and afternoons and evenings!) may seem like a far-fetched fantasy for ADHD families, but with a daily routine, you can learn how to reduce chaos and introduce more calm in your households. A Parent’s Guide to Executing Effective Routines shows you how.

Consistent routines for morning, homework, dinner, and bedtime build good habits, introduce structure, and improve behavior in children and teens with ADHD. However, too often, caregivers start implementing a routine only to give up on it after a few weeks because their kids resist or it just seems too difficult to follow.

A Parent’s Guide to Executing Effective Routines describes where routines typically break down and provides solutions for getting ADHD families back on track. Sample schedules will help you build a routine that your family will want to follow.

In its 145+ pages, A Parent’s Guide to Executing Effective Routines details expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

• How routines and rituals benefit ADHD brains
• Why routines fizzle — and how to rekindle them
• Sample schedules for mornings, after school, mealtimes, and evenings
• Creative ways to get kids out of bed
• Tips for surviving after-school medication meltdowns
• Way to smooth transitions between daily activities
• Homework schedules that kids will follow
• How ADHD affects sleep
• Strategies to stop wasting time and start managing it
• And much more!

Above all, caregivers will learn how consistent routines and rituals benefit ADHD families, teach children and teens independence, improve time management and organization, and lead to a happier, calmer household.
