With over three decades of experience helping children who think and learn differently, Ann shares practical, tested strategies to reduce homework battles, build executive function skills, and bring more calm to busy evenings.

Sometimes it’s about executive function.” “Most kids don’t want to do poorly. They just don’t know how to start.” “The number one thing that helps is structure and consistency.” “Procrastination isn’t laziness — it’s often overwhelm.” “Sometimes the best thing we can do is step back, not step in.” “A checklist is like a GPS for the brain.” “Kids with ADHD often need external reminders to manage time and tasks.” “When parents micromanage, it can actually backfire.” “Homework should never be a battle zone.” “Parents are doing the best they can with the tools they have.” How to Connect with Ann Dolin Website: https://ectutoring.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/educationalconnections/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EducationalConnectionsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@annkdolin Dana Kay Resources: 🔗WEBSITES: https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/https://dana-kay.com/ 👋SOCIALS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDThriveInstitute/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adhdthriveinstitute/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ADHDThriveInstituteLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/adhd-thrive-institute/mycompany/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ph/adhdthriveinstitute/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_thriveinstitute 📕INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLING BOOK: Thriving with ADHD – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/book/ 💻FREE MASTERCLASS Free Reduce ADHD Symptoms Naturally Masterclass - https://bit.ly/3GAbFQl ⭐COURSES & PROGRAMS ADHD Parenting Course – https://info.adhdthriveinstitute.com/parentingadhdADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids Program – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/packages/
