Chapters

Parents of strong-willed or neurodivergent children often face unique challenges during the school year. It's crucial to define what a successful school year looks like for your family, prioritizing your child's individual needs and focusing on qualities that contribute to long-term success rather than solely on academic achievements. This might involve setting realistic expectations for homework, extracurricular activities, and family time, and communicating your priorities with teachers.
  • Prioritize qualities for life success over just school success.
  • Define family values and goals for the school year.
  • Limit extracurricular activities to avoid over-scheduling.
  • Prioritize family time and connection.
  • Consider homework optional, especially for younger children.
  • Focus on raising a curious child who loves to learn.
