Shownotes
In this episode of Launching Forward with ADHD, I dive into the powerful impact of routines on children (and adults) with ADHD. I break down why routines are essential for managing executive functioning challenges, reducing stress, and improving focus, all backed by research and real-life experience. I also share how implementing routines helped improve my marriage, parenting, and overall ADHD management—and how you can do the same at home.
