The Childhood Collective

If your child with ADHD has ever said, “That was NOT 20 minutes!”… this one’s for you. 😅

Time perception is just ONE of the executive functioning skills that can make everyday life harder for kids with ADHD.

And when you understand what’s actually happening underneath the behavior, it changes how you respond to it.

That’s a huge part of what we teach inside Creating Calm. We walk you through the executive functioning skills that impact everyday life and show you practical ways to support them.

You’ll learn how to:

✨ Make invisible skills like time, planning, and working memory more visible
✨ Set up your environment so your child can be more successful
✨ Create routines and systems that don’t depend on you reminding them 47 times
✨ Teach skills over time instead of expecting your child to just “know” how to do them
✨ Build more independence while reducing some of the mental load on YOU

Because understanding your child’s ADHD brain is important. But knowing what to do differently because of it? That’s where things start to change.

If only schools gave parents report cards… you’d be earning straight A’s in advocacy. 💪

Because let’s be real, IEP meetings can be draining.

You’re juggling schedules 🤹, explaining ADHD (again), taking notes, decoding edu-jargon, and trying to stay calm while making sure your child’s needs are actually being met. It’s a lot.

And advocating for your child shouldn’t require you to become a special education expert overnight.

That’s why we created Shining at School. We walk you through the process so you can understand your child’s rights, know which accommodations and interventions will actually help, prepare for 504 and IEP meetings, and walk in feeling confident about what to ask for.

Being your child’s safe space is beautiful. 💛 Being the safe space where they unleash every emotion AND challenging behavior they’ve been holding in all day? Also... exhausting.

Many kids with ADHD work incredibly hard to hold it together at school, then fall apart when they get home where they feel safe.
And yes, all emotions are allowed. But all behaviors are not.

Your child can be angry AND you can hold the boundary that aggression isn’t okay. They can be completely overwhelmed AND still need support learning a different way to respond.

That’s where Creating Calm comes in. We help you understand why your child’s behaviors keep happening, how prevent some of those hard moments before they happen, and respond in ways that hold boundaries while building the skills your child is still developing. Because being your child’s safe space doesn’t mean home has to feel out of control.

When your child with ADHD says they finished their homework in 3 minutes... 👀😂

Homework can be HARD for ADHD brains, especially after spending all day using executive function skills at school. And sometimes the answer isn’t another homework strategy at home.

It may be getting the right supports in place at school.

Depending on your child’s needs, accommodations might include things like reducing or modifying assignments in class, breaking longer assignments into smaller parts, extended time, organizational support, or limits on how much time they are completing homework or homework assignments.

Because a child with ADHD shouldn’t have to spend hours every night finishing work that their peers completed during the school day.

Inside Shining at School, we teach you how to identify the supports your child may need, navigate 504s and IEPs, and confidently advocate for them at school.
