Best educational apps for a restless 6yo?
My son has ADHD and online school was a nightmare for him. But we've found that certain apps actually help him focus better than traditional learning? Like Duolingo for reading, Khan Academy Kids for math. The games keep his attention in a way worksheets never did.
Anyone else use apps intentionally as a learning tool rather than just... preventing meltdowns while you make dinner? Curious what's worked for other people's kids.
This is the opposite of 'screens bad.' This is 'screens as accommodation.' Pretty different thing and honestly smart parenting to figure out what learning style your kid needs.
Have you talked to his school about what's working at home? They might adapt their approach if they know games keep him engaged. Or at least stop fighting you about screen time in his IEP.
