Strategies for Clutter and Stress in ADHD Families

  • September 10, 2024
  • 12:00 PM
  • ADDitude Webinar

Your child can’t find their backpack and the school bus is here already. Wait, they found it. But where’s their homework and the permission slip for that field trip? Oh no, Dad misplaced his wallet and keys — again. Ten minutes later, he’s still searching. Now he’ll be late for work.

Does this sound familiar? Few things cause more strife in a household than clutter and disorganization. When a home is messy, and things are hard to find, it can make everyone feel stressed. Families touched by ADHD can thank weak execution function skills for this all-too-common scenario.

And here’s what can add another layer of conflict: When only some family members have ADHD and struggle to keep things organized and tidy, and others in the household are the opposite — and neat. ADHD or not, you can take control of your surroundings and optimize your spaces with our decluttering techniques and efficient storage solutions. We will bring harmony back to your newly organized and functional environment.

In the webinar, you will learn:

  • About the common struggles families face when only some in the household have ADHD, and the conflict that ensues when all family members have ADHD
  • About techniques to help kids and parents get started on their goal to become organized and create spaces to put things where they belong
  • How having less stuff is key to being organized, and the techniques to help you decide what to keep and what to toss
  • How to compromise and bring harmony back to your household

We will also tackle readers’ real-life situations, as well as recount my own experience as a professional organizer who is married to a very lovely but very messy man.
