Set Dedicated Workspace and Start Time
- Help your child find a dedicated, distraction-free workspace with a good desk and chair.
- Encourage them to choose a consistent start time, ideally before dinner or right after practice to reduce procrastination.
Why ADHD Kids Procrastinate
- Kids with ADHD usually want to do their homework but struggle with getting started due to overwhelm.
- Anxiety and perfectionism often cause procrastination because students fear they can't do the task perfectly.
Use Timers and Pomodoro Technique
- Use timers to help your child start tasks; begin with short intervals like 5 or 10 minutes.
- For longer work, use the Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes work, 5 minutes break, repeated up to four cycles.
