Ep. 8 No More Homework Battles: Helping Kids Build Independence & Resilience

The Mindful Toolbox: A series dedicated to mental and emotional wellbeing

"My child knows the strategies… so why don’t they use them?"

If you’ve ever thought this while watching your child walk away from the exact skill you’ve been practicing together, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of The Mindful Toolbox, we’re bridging the gap between knowing a tool and actually using it so your child can move from learning to owning the skills they need to thrive.

I share real-life stories from my work with students, including:

• ADHD-friendly habit building
  
• How to reduce homework stress without nagging
  
• Emotional regulation techniques that work in real moments
  
• My 3-phase method for turning skills into automatic routines
  

Whether your child struggles with emotional regulation, ADHD memory retention, or independent learning, you’ll walk away with practical steps you can start using today.
