Managing FastBraiins can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.  Implementing effective strategies takes time and patience.  Instead of trying to change everything at once, a bite-sized approach can make a world of difference.  This short article offers practical tips for parents looking to implement ADHD management strategies effectively, focusing on manageable steps and consistent progress.

In this episode of Dr. Jim’s FastBraiin, Dr. Jim shares the importance of establishing bedtime routines with your FastBraiin child.  If you establish a consistent bedtime and lights-out time, your child’s body will eventually adapt to it. It may take a week or two, but the outcome will be worth it – falling asleep at the same time every night and waking up refreshed and empowered to navigate their day. However, bedtime routines should not solely focus on going to bed. They should begin with a series of preparatory steps, such as getting in comfortable sleepwear, spending some time reading in bed, and engaging in meaningful connection and conversation before a set time for lights-out. Implementing a bedtime routine is for the benefit of the whole family.
