Homework and After-School Executive Function

If homework in your house is a nightly battle, if the 20 minute assignment somehow takes 3 hours, if your kid was fine at school and is now falling apart at the kitchen table, this episode is for you. Erica shares what restraint collapse is and why homework at the kitchen table can be a place of meltdowns and frustration, the after-school sequence that actually helps, her real opinions on homework in elementary school, and the exact phrase to use with teachers when advocating for accommodations ("reduce quantity, not content"). She also gets into body doubling, task initiation, and scaffolding for teens, plus a full section on preventing the assignment pile before it becomes an avoidance spiral. Plus one of her own homework stories from childhood, involving Grimms Fairytales, a reading log, and a C in elementary school reading that made no sense until you looked closely. FREE RESOURCEGrab the Support Profile here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sOhSMxXwJSzk4uMHgXbj6pz5_47iXxNv/view?usp=sharing Or head to Instagram @behaviourcoach and comment THRIVE on any post for the same resource, plus ADHD and autism info sheets.
