Transitions With My Two Kids With ADHD Are Really, Really Hard

Transitions With My Two Kids With ADHD Are Really, Really Hard

"It's 4:45 pm, and it's time for my 9 and 7-year-old sons to get ready for lacrosse practice," writes Samm Davidson today. "Here's the tough part: Both have ADHD and require some extra time and attention with transitions, but in wildly different ways."

Her 9-year-old needs prompting and directions repeated over and over, so he doesn't leave his water bottle behind. For her 7-year-old, it's a different situation: "It's the kind that results in loud, angry outbursts over very small things. And it can be really, really hard to manage. So I brace for impact as I tell him, after a few earlier reminders, that is now time to start getting ready. And just like that, the resistance begins." Sound familiar?

Beloved Nickelodeon Star Opens Up About Sharing Love Through Food

"If you grew up in the '90s like I did, you probably remember Gullah Gullah Island," writes Julie Sprankles. "From 1994 to 1998, the educational Nickelodeon series took kids on a magical adventure to a fictitious island filled with family, sea creatures, and kindness (plus Binyah Binyah Polliwog, of course)." Well, she recently got a chance to chat with co-creator Natalie Daise about her work, Gullah Geechee culture and cuisine, and her new picture book, Okra Stew. And it's an absolute delight – check it out.
