Wondering how to homeschool a distractible,
impulsive, inattentive, or hyperactive child or teen?
When I started homeschooling, I wasn't sure I could help my child focus. But I learned to customize his education and he made great progress.
But I know that what works for my child might not help yours. So I have talked with hundreds of families homeschooling children and teens with ADHD and other attention problems and learning challenges.
I've gathered insights that I'm eager to share. I can help whether you're new to homeschooling, or an experienced homeschooler coming to terms with your child's attention issues. Homeschooling lets you customize instruction for your child's strengths, needs, and interests.
Let's get started!

What you'll learn
In five sections, we'll cover these five topics. I'll also provide transcripts, worksheets, resources, and tips. Learn at your own pace. Join us!
Use movement to help your child focus
I'll teach you how to use movement before, during, and between lessons to help your child or teen focus.
Plan your schedule
In this section, you will learn how to schedule your year around the needs and preferences of your family. Homeschooling offers wonderful flexibilty. Enjoy it!
We'll also discuss why to break your year down into quarters or terms, and how to make your weekly plans that help kids who struggle with attention.
And because life is uncertain, we'll talk about what to do when plans fail.
Plan where you'll homeschool
Where will you teach? We'll consider locations inside your home and out.
What's the best learning environment? What about those distractions?
Learn to consider where your child can learn best for each activity. Also, we'll explore seating that can help your child focus better.
Your mindset matters and you can remake it
We'll consider your assumptions and attitudes that might be hindering your homeschooling.
You'll also become aware how your school experiences may be limiting your notions of how best to homeschool this child.
Your child's attitudes
Just as important as your attitudes and assumptions are your child’s. What do they expect about homeschool, about education? What do they think of themselves? Some of our kids have lost their love of learning and expect only failure. In this module, you’ll learn how to encourage discouraged students and rekindle their love of learning.
