Episode 90: You've Read Everything About ADHD. Nothing's Sticking.

***Join the ADHD Family Quest***

How many tabs about ADHD do you have open right now?

On your phone, on your laptop. The one about dopamine. The one about demand avoidance. The routine chart someone swore by at 11pm.

You are not short on information about ADHD. You could probably explain executive function better than your GP can. And your Tuesday morning at 7:40am still falls apart.

That gap between everything you know and what actually happens in your house is not a knowledge problem. In this episode, Sharon Collon breaks down the two traps almost every ADHD family gets stuck in: knowledge farming, where you collect information you cannot implement, and system farming, where you buy the visual schedule, the magnetic chore chart and the beautiful Etsy printable, and it dies within a fortnight anyway.

She tells the story of two families who photographed the washing chart in her laundry, and why she already knew standing there that it would not work in their houses. Then she gives you the one shift that changes how you build anything at home from here: build the system for your worst day, not your best one.
