Hi Parents,
Here’s our book. It's about four teenagers who were struggling in school despite everyone's best efforts—theirs, yours, their teachers'.
Maybe you can relate. You're trying to help your teen get basic things done, and your relationship is taking a beating. The connection you used to have is turning into arguments and exhaustion.
Here's what we've learned: even good strategies don't work consistently with ADHD teens. That's not your fault or theirs—it's just how ADHD works. Getting better means trying things, seeing what happens, and adjusting. Not getting it perfect.
This book walks through four real coaching cases with ADHD teens. You'll see what worked, what flopped, and what both parents and kids figured out.
Some Hypotheses
Screens make it worse. Research shows screen time destroys focus (Haidt). And when teens are stressed, they shut down and stop listening to parents (Yeager).
The online portals can be really difficult. It doesn't show the real picture. Students need to dig deeper—we call it "Sherlocking"—to find out what's actually due.
College often makes ADHD harder. The best thing you can do now is help your teen learn to ask for help and actually use it.
Coaching isn't a fix. It's support. One good hour with a coach should help your teen work independently for several more hours on their own.
We don't tie things up with a neat bow. We show you where standard advice falls apart, why ongoing support matters, and how families build systems that actually stick.
