We are moving the desk from my daughters bedroom to the living room. [we are not entertaining!] My MS child woke up and did school from her bed. Not OK. We told her this school year, she will be working from the living room. She might have a friend with her for accountability. If so - we will move a long table to the living room for the 2 of them.
I had thought about dropping my kids off at school before school starts each morning so they need to walk home and get moving before their classes start - we will see. [my ADHD kid is much better is getting a little bit of exercise before school]
White board calendar attached with command strips in the dining room.
We just ordered another laptop
Command hooks to hang headsets
We have IKEA Magazine Holders that we use for notebooks / papers.
We have an old plastic set of drawer with wheels on it that had been used for toys and was in the attic. It is perfect for putting everything away at the end of the day.
For the parent with an ADHD child. You may need to put on the calendar each day movement breaks and have it be specific. Jump rope 300 times. Run around the block.... I have found the more specific (working together to be specific) the better. I had my 3rd grader learn to walk on stilts - great for core strength.
What kind of headsets are you guys using? I need one for my 5th grader.
