Meet Edna, one of our therapeutic learning coaches at Bright Beginnings! 🌟 Today she’s sharing some of her go-to focus strategies for kiddos with ADHD (and honestly, these work for all busy brains!).
1️⃣ Visual Schedules: When expectations are visible, kids feel more in control. It lightens the mental load and makes transitions smoother.
2️⃣ Movement Breaks: ADHD brains need to move! This fuels focus, boosts mood, and helps kids tune into their bodies.
3️⃣ Reward Charts: Reward charts keep them motivated. The “beads in the box” work as each time a student tries their best, stays focused, or shows kindness to themselves, they get a bead. When they collect all the beads, they win a small prize at the end of the day. The prize can be something the child genuinely enjoys, like crackers or a fidget toy. This method teaches progress over perfection by celebrating every effort.
For older kids, customize their chart specifically with characters or themes they enjoy and love. This personalization makes the system more meaningful and engaging. At the end of the task or day, sit down together and have a conversation reflecting on their progress. Doing this together helps deepen self-awareness as the child thinks about what went well and areas to improve, fostering honest self-reflection and growth.
