As Mother’s Day approaches, I want to thank all the special moms who supported me through the years.

My Blog Makes an Appearance on Trauma Informed Classroom
Thrilled to see one of my blogs posted on Roger Flowers’s website, Trauma Informed Classroom. His mission, that students deserve a flourishing, safe, and consistent classroom, free of triggers, is so important for students, especially the ones suffering from mental disabilities.
My blog, “When ADHD and Sports Don’t Mix,” takes place outside of the classroom where I try to find the right sport for my child, creating all kinds of trauma for both of us along the way. I finally give up, only to discover the perfect activity was there from the beginning.

Communicating With Your ADHD Child

In this month’s blog, I put together the tips that worked for me over the years. Hope you’ll find one that works for you!
