In this episode of Parent Like a Psychologist, we dive into the importance of routines for children with ADHD. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll learn:

The Power of Routines:
Routines may seem boring, but they are incredibly effective in creating calm and reducing stress for both parents and children.

The Science Behind Routines:
Predictability in routines helps reduce anxiety and improve behaviour by setting clear expectations.

Implementing Effective Routines:

Start Small: Focus on one routine at a time to avoid overwhelming your child.

Visual Timetables: Use visual aids to help children remember and follow routines, especially for those with executive functioning challenges.

Involving Your Child: Engage your child in creating the routine to give them a sense of ownership and make the process smoother.

Transition Strategies: Introduce changes gradually and use social stories or apps to illustrate the benefits of routines.

Join us as we explore how to make routines work for your family—and remember, sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective.
