#39 Frustration to Focus: Motivation Tips for Parents of Neurodivergent Kids

Ruth Episode 39

Is your child constantly switching tasks, tuning out, or giving up before they even start? You’re not alone — and it’s not your fault.

In this practical, validating, and strategy-packed episode, we dive into why focus and motivation are so challenging for neurodivergent kids (think ADHD, ASD, sensory needs, global delays, and more) — and what you can realistically do about it.

✅ Understand the brain-based reasons behind inattention
 ✅ Learn 3+ powerful strategies to boost motivation
 ✅ Hear what’s worked in real classrooms and family homes
 ✅ Walk away with simple tools you can try today — like 3-minute learning bursts, visuals that actually work, and how to build independence without stepping back completely.

🎧 Just 25 minutes. Listen in your car, during chores, or while your child builds a Pokémon tower.

✨ This episode is for every parent who's ever asked:

“Why can’t they just focus?”
We’ll help you answer that — with compassion and clarity.
