This page is a map, not a lecture. If you are new here, it helps you find the routine pack, the homework strategies and the wind-down tools without hunting through the whole site. If you have been at this a while, it points to the parts that answer the questions you keep coming back to: how to talk to a teacher, how to explain time blindness to a partner, and which single habit to try this week.
Most of these come up in the first week, usually after someone has tried a routine card and hit a snag. If your question is not here, the contact page is the shortest route.
Start with one routine card, not the whole pack. Pick the part of the day that causes the most friction, usually mornings or homework, and run that single card for a week before adding anything else. The method page explains why stacking habits too fast tends to backfire.
No. Everything here is practical day-to-day support: routines, timers, sensory tools, ways to talk to a teacher. Diagnosis and medication sit with a clinician. If you are still deciding whether to seek an assessment, the material on this site can help you describe what you are seeing, but it will not tell you what you have.
Both, though the framing differs. Homework strategies are written for parents and children together. Time blindness, body doubling and evening wind-down apply just as much to an adult who loses three hours after dinner. Plenty of people read the kids' sections for themselves and quietly admit it later.
It usually does, and that is not a failure signal. Shrink the routine until it is almost too easy, then rebuild. A card with three steps you finish beats a card with ten you abandon. The morning routine article covers what to do when the plan collapses anyway.
Printing helps because a card on the fridge is visible in a way a phone is not, but a plain sheet of paper works fine. Timers can be a kitchen clock or a phone alarm. Most of what is described here assumes a normal household, not a therapy room.
Yes, and it often helps more than explaining from scratch. The conversation starters are written to be handed over as they are. If you want to raise a specific concern, get in touch and describe the situation in your own words.
Handling of personal details is covered in the privacy policy.
You do not need a tidy question before you write. Half the messages that land here start with "I'm not sure this is the right place, but..." and that is fine. If you are stuck on a morning routine that keeps collapsing, a homework standoff, or a school bag that never gets packed, say it in your own words. Granny Suz reads everything herself.
Best for anything with detail: a routine that is not working, a teacher conversation you want help wording, or a request for the printable routine cards. Attach a photo of your kitchen table setup if that is easier than describing it.
info@adhdwithgranniesuz.comShort calls only, and mostly for quick things: which page to start on, whether a wind-down checklist exists for a specific age, or where to find the audio clips for rough afternoons. If it needs more than a few minutes, email is the better route.

Emails usually get an answer within two working days. Phone messages left outside hours are picked up the next morning. If a week has passed with nothing back, send it again rather than assuming it was ignored; things do slip.
