Holidays and Snow Days -- Shifting Gears!

Holidays, school delays, snow days, and winter colds --- what can these do to school and life routines? Chances are you have had more than your share of interruptions to your life and routines these past several weeks, and probably wonder if you’ll ever get back on track. Interruptions and change --- even for the pleasure of a holiday --- can present difficulties for anyone’s life, but, if you have someone in the family who has ADHD, it is particularly challenging. Recovering from snow days, vacations and the like can wreck havoc on the focus and organization of those who have ADHD --- even for the brightest and best students. Know that it takes extra effort to shift gears and get back on track. Patience and a positive additude works wonders.
