This advice is amazing! I had a TERRIBLE time during the holidays and felt so overwhelmed. Will definitely be using your approach from now on.

I also have ADHD, although it manifests differently in my situation. I have needed to throw out the rulebook because so many things are not realistic based on my personality and my child’s.

For example…all these parents act like routines are the holy grail and I just can’t get on a routine. We are far more of a go with the flow family and, so far, that seems to work for my son.

I really try to lean into my strengths. Like…I have the creativity to get lost in my son’s imaginative world, and it’s so fun. Since I can’t do routines, I am a freelancer and, when my child is at preschool or hanging out with dad, I can hyperfocus.

Also, my unpopular opinion is that sensory bins are overrated 🙂
