Body Doubling
Your child can't focus alone on tasks
Steps
- Sit near your child while they work (not hovering)
- Do your own quiet task (reading, emails, paperwork)
- Your calm presence helps regulate their attention
- Occasionally check in with a quiet 'How's it going?'
What you need
Your presence and your own quiet task
Why it works
For people with ADHD, the presence of another person provides gentle external accountability without pressure. Your calm energy helps regulate their attention system. It's not about supervision — it's about the grounding effect of shared quiet presence.
Age guidance
Works for all ages, including teens and adults. Younger children may need you slightly more engaged; older children just need you nearby.
Real-world example
Many parents discover this accidentally — they sit down to do their own emails while their child does homework, and suddenly the child works for 30 minutes straight. The moment the parent leaves the room, focus evaporates. That's body doubling in action.
Troubleshooting
- Don't correct their work while sitting with them. Save feedback for later
- If they talk to you constantly, set a 'quiet work time' with a timer
