Description

We've been there - your kid would benefit from extra work on a particular skill, but they are 100% not interested in sitting down and working on it. Today, we discuss fun and somewhat sneaky ways to help your kids practice academic skills. We share specific games and everyday activities that work on math, reading, penmanship, and coordination. 

You can find all of the specific games and activities we mention here: math, reading, penmanship & fine motor.

None of these items are sponsored- they are all things we use or others in the Parenting Neurodivergent Humans community have recommended. Amazon is the best way we have found to collect all of these links, but most of these items are widely available if you prefer to shop elsewhere. If you purchase through Amazon, we receive a small commission.
