36 Why Rigid Schedules Are Failing Your Special Needs Family (The Simple Rhythm Strategy for ADHD, Autism, and Exhausted Moms)

Speaking Life Into Motherhood ~ Routines, Time Management, Holistic Health, Self Care, Autism, ADHD, Neurodiversity, Special Needs, Disabilities

Are you exhausted from trying to keep up with rigid schedules that fall apart the moment life doesn't cooperate?

What if your ADHD or autistic child could have the predictability they need WITHOUT the stress of time-blocked schedules?

Have you ever had a day so hard you just wanted to quit - but somehow you made it through smoothly? What if you could create THAT feeling on purpose?

After saying goodbye to our beloved dog, I woke up ready to give up on the day - but rhythms carried our family through peacefully. Learn the crucial difference between rigid schedules and flexible rhythms, why all kids thrive with rhythms, and practical examples for both homeschool AND traditional school families.

This completes the trilogy:

• Mission = WHY you do this
• R.E.S.T. Framework = WHAT to do on hard days
• Rhythms = HOW to make it all sustainable
