“No One on Social Media Knows What It Took for Us to Get Here”
FREE WEBINAR ON JULY 17, 2024:Click here to register for “College Accommodations for Neurodivergent Students”May and June are tricky months to be on social media if college graduation is up in the air for your child, as it is for mine.
It seems like it was just yesterday that we posted photos of high school graduation, then the college drop-off, wherein I stood awkwardly in my kid’s dorm room trying to smile through tear-smudged mascara.We didn’t know what to anticipate over the next four years.
We expected some setbacks, but secretly imagined our kids soaring, hoping they would avoid some of our own college mistakes.
We wanted them to take interesting classes, make new friends, have fun, and develop a work ethic that would carry into internships and jobs upon graduation.But when you have a child with ADHD who struggles academically, and for whom college graduation within the traditional four years is an elusive goal that alternates between impossible and slightly in reach, these spring and early summer months are fraught with stress and anxiety.My oldest son came out of the womb with ADHD.
