Why do kids struggle so much with time management — and why does it often turn into stress, meltdowns, and constant reminders for moms?

In this episode, Lori sits down with Mindy Hudon, a speech-language pathologist with more than 30 years of experience helping children with communication and executive function challenges. Mindy is the co-owner of Achieve Speech & Language Services, the creator of the Bee A Time Keeper® clock, and the award-winning author of Kodi’s Adventures: How I Learned to Defeat the Time Snatcher.

Together, they discuss:

  •  Why many children are “time blind” 
  •  How executive function impacts planning, transitions, and routines 
  •  Why kids may not actually be ignoring you 
  •  How visual tools can reduce anxiety and help children self-manage 
  •  The connection between ADHD and time management struggles 
  •  Practical ways moms can teach kids independence without constant nagging 
  •  Simple strategies to make mornings, transitions, and routines easier 

If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to get everyone out the door on time, this episode will help you better understand what’s really happening — and give you practical tools you can start using right away.
