How to Build Study Habits That Stick

ADHD learners often hear “just try harder,” but the real issue isn’t effort—it’s strategy. In this eye-opening workshop, Dr. Kelly Cagle introduces parents to Zimmerman’s Self-Regulated Learning Theory (1998) and shows how to help ADHD kids move from frustration and forgetfulness to ownership and confidence in their learning. You’ll learn how to build study habits that actually stick—long after the test is over.

3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Redefine success for your child’s unique brain. ADHD students don’t always thrive with traditional benchmarks—so let’s explore what true progress looks like.

  2. Examine your own academic lens. Are you unknowingly passing down pressure, perfectionism, or performance-based worth?

  3. Teach your child how to self-regulate. Learn simple, ADHD-friendly tools for goal setting, focus management, and confidence-building.

So much of school is designed for neurotypical minds—but your child’s brain is wired differently, and beautifully. This workshop will empower you to support your child in becoming a lifelong learner—one who doesn’t just survive school, but learns to thrive.
