Progress report season is here. But what do those ratings really mean for your child?

For many neurodiverse learners, progress reports can bring both reassurance and new questions. They offer helpful clues about how your child is doing academically, socially, and emotionally. But the real story often goes beyond the page.

Our newest Parent Guide breaks everything down so you can understand your child’s school experience more clearly and provide support with confidence.

Inside the guide, you will learn:
• The purpose of progress reports
• Questions that spark honest conversations with your child
• Red flags that may signal stress or overwhelm
• Ways to support your child if school avoidance is a concern
• How to prepare for clear and productive conversations with teachers
• Why celebrating small wins builds long-term success

If you want a deeper understanding of how your child is really doing, and how to partner with the school effectively, this guide is for you.

✨ 15 Tips to Help Make Homework & After-School Routines Easier for Kids ✨

Here are some parent-friendly strategies to help boost focus, build confidence, and reduce stress 👇

1️⃣ Start with the Easy Win!
Before tackling tricky homework, begin with a task your child feels confident doing. A successful start helps build momentum.

2️⃣ The Power of the 5-Minute Rule
Encourage your child to get started on a task by working for “just 5 minutes.” Often, starting is the hardest part of any task. Once your child begins, continuing with the work is more likely.

3️⃣ Time-Turner: Use a Visual Timer
Visual timers—like sand timers or apps—can help kids see how much time is left in a task. This technique can help reduce meltdowns, build independence, and support transitions.

4️⃣ Pomodoro, Kid-Style!
Try a 15-5-15 system: 15 minutes of focused work, 5-minute break—with movement, stretching or a snack—and then back to work. This method is great for building stamina and regulation.

5️⃣ Agenda = Superpower
Teach your child to use a daily agenda to track schoolwork, clubs, and special days. Colour-coding and stickers can make tasks more fun and engaging!

6️⃣ Get Set to Reset!
Build “reset breaks” into routines. Deep pressure—like hugs or squeezing a stress ball—movement, or a quiet space can help reduce sensory overload.

7️⃣ Backpack Buddy Check
Make a checklist for packing the school bag each night. Include items like homework, a water bottle, and headphones. Planning ahead can help ease transitions.

8️⃣ Fuel First, Then Focus
A protein-rich snack after school—like yogurt, nuts, cheese—can help your child regulate and support focus for homework or other activities.

9️⃣ Body Double for the Win!
Sit nearby—even working on your own task—while your child works. Your presence could help with focus and emotional regulation with fewer reminders to keep working!

🔟 Squeeze, Stretch, Succeed!
Before homework or handwriting, encourage a fine-motor warm-up. Squeezing putty, stretching arms, or doing wall push-ups can help prepare the body and mind for learning!

1️⃣1️⃣ Monday Morning Preview
On Sunday, preview the week ahead. For example, flag tests, gym days, and hot lunches to support planning and emotion regulation.

1️⃣2️⃣ Write Big Before Small
Struggling with handwriting? Start large! Use whiteboards or chalkboards vertically to build muscle memory and help with letter sizing.

1️⃣3️⃣ Feelings Check-In
Help your child identify and name feelings as tasks are unfolding. These check-ins can support emotional literacy and problem-solving.

1️⃣4️⃣ Sensory Toolkit On-the-Go
Pack a small “regulation kit” in your child’s knapsack. A fidget toy, chewy necklace, noise-canceling headphones, or hand lotion with a familiar scent and texture can provide comfort on-the-go!

1️⃣5️⃣ Celebrate the Small Stuff
Acknowledge effort, not just results. “You started your work without being asked—awesome job!” Praising effort can build confidence and intrinsic motivation.

💜 Remember: Small adjustments can create big wins for kids—and parents, too!).

👉 Save this post for later and share with another parent who could use these strategies.
