The end of summer is a time of transition, especially for families of children with ADHD. Following the long days of less routine and structure, school can be a rude awakening. Changes affect parents too, especially if a parent has ADHD also. This includes such things as: waking up earlier, developing a morning routine, getting clothes and school supplies ready, driving children to school and picking them, up,and of course the homework that inevitably follows!
In Rick Green's excellent film, Simple Parenting Strategies, Elaine Klaus states that there seems to be two categories of parents: the parent who is overwhelmed and who has ADHD, and the parent who tends toward a type A personality, and is "in control." Both parents and young people need support as they launch into the new school year!
