[quote=Anonymous]It helped my adhd kid to have a concrete number of hours she should be studying each day. Yes, any number is a little bit arbitrary and sometimes she needs to study more. But adhd has a component of “time-blindness” — an inability to estimate and plan for how much time something takes — so it all felt vague and overwhelming, and murkiness/overwhelm doesn’t bring out her best. Being given a concrete number that she should spend (on her own with books open, actually working) was a relief to her. (FWIW, we said average 6 hours/day on weekdays to start, and try to use as many of the smaller blocks of time as possible, a half hour here, a half hour there, really adds up). Also flash cards for classes with high memorization. Those have really helped. [/quote]
