if you don't fit in someone else's box, just build your own box.
To many, this may sound unrealistic, but it is just that: like other families, we have learned to adapt to our children’s styles of learning. Each child is different in how they receive information, and this can change at different points in their lives. We have not been able to find one style of school that works for all three of our children, but we have had great teachers, family members, and teams that have supported us along the way. The purpose of this website is to document our family’s journey through school and life, and how we have tried to navigate the challenges we have faced. Our hope is that you can join us on this journey and learn with us as we strive to live outside the box.

So, let’s talk about how ADHD affects relationships....
Hey everyone, and welcome to my blog! My name is Miles, and I’m a 17-year-old who has been living with ADHD all my life. Growing up with ADHD hasn’t always been easy, but over the years I’ve developed my own set of strategies and hacks for managing it. In this....
As a mom, I understand the natural instinct to want to protect our children from everything that could potentially harm or scare them. However, I’ve come to realize that it’s important to teach our kids to not let fear hold them back. One of the best ways to do this....
