Why good strategies do not stick in ADHD homes
Every strategy you have been handed came to you on its own, stripped of the thing that was supposed to sit underneath it.
A visual timer assumes a child who already notices time passing. A reward chart assumes a child who can hold a goal in their head across four hours. A calm down corner assumes a child who can catch the feeling early enough to walk to it.
Nobody mentioned the assumptions. Nobody built them. So the strategy landed on ground that could not hold it, and within a fortnight it slid off.
You are running a neurodivergent family on neurotypical systems.
That is a fixable problem. It just has an order, and nobody has ever shown you the order.
One page. Your handwriting. We build it together live.
We build it live, together, in the session.
No cost, no catch. Just bring a pen. We send the page the moment you register.
What your sixty minutes gives you
- Three complete systems you can put in place tomorrow, all free, each under a minute to set up. I build them in front of you, start to finish.
- Why the strategies you were handed were never going to hold, so you can stop blaming yourself for them sliding off.
- The six parts of the brain’s management system, in plain language, in six minutes.
- Your own Friction Map, built live, so you see your whole week on one page instead of carrying it in your head.
- The one change to start with, and why the other eleven things get easier the moment it is in place.
You will need a pen and a printed page. We send it when you register.
This is for you if . . .Â
- You are parenting a primary school aged child (or children) who has ADHD, or you suspect it, or you are waiting on assessment
- You are tired of advice that assumes a brain your child does not have
- You want something you can use tomorrow, not a reading list
- You want your week to stop feeling like one thing going wrong after another.
This is a practical action taking session.
Hi there, I'm Sharon Collon!
I am Sharon Collon. I am an award winning, PCC credentialed ADHD coach and parenting consultant with 20 years in this work, and I have supported over 40,000 families.
I have three boys with ADHD. I have run every one of these mornings myself, including the ones where I got it wrong.
I live near the sea in Southern Sydney, and I build systems that work with the ADHD brain rather than against it.
"My young person is smiling again, and I am grateful to have crossed paths with Sharon."
Sylvia
"Have learnt so much and been able to implement so much of the content into our daily lives. This has made for less arguments and a much happier household."
Natalie
"It really was the best conversation I've had on the topic in 8 years of psychologists, paediatricians, OTs, and school learning support staff."
