Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurological disorder that impacts the parts of the brain that help us plan, focus on, and execute tasks. ADHD symptoms vary by sub-type — inattentive, hyperactive, or combined. ADHD impacts approximately 11% of children and almost 5% of adults in the U.S. People with ADHD have trouble with impulse-control, focusing, and organization. ADHD is not a behavior disorder, mental illness, or specific learning disability. It’s a developmental impairment of the brain’s self-management system.

Some experts assert “Attention deficit” is misleading. “Attention deregulation” might be more accurate, as most people with ADHD have more than enough attention – they just can’t harness it in the right direction at the right time with consistency. And so individuals with ADHD hyperfocus and lose track of time, misplace their keys, or blurt out an unrelated thought.

Every child with ADHD experiences his or her own unique set of superpowers and challenges. But one common thread unites all families living with attention deficit: a hatred of homework.

Most parents of children with ADHD are exhausted from the repetitive fights, the missing assignments, and the hours and hours of wasted time. You know your child is smart and capable, which makes it extra frustrating when he delays starting a straightforward assignment, turns in work that’s incomplete, or forgets assignments altogether. Homework becomes a daily reminder of struggles and setbacks.

Steer your child through her nightly homework load — without being the bad guy or doing all the work — with these ADHD- conversation guides.

If you child has ADHD, you know that standard parenting strategies don’t always work. Consider subscribing to the ADDitude’s free newsletter, which has many great resources to add to your parenting toolbox, including free downloads to learn ADHD-tested positive parenting techniques, how to manage treatment, school and learning resources, and more.

You might also consider checking out CHADD, founded in response to the frustration and sense of isolation experienced by parents and their children with ADHD. CHADD offers support, education, and encouragement to families and individuals with ADHD on a grassroots level through local CHADD chapters.
