🌪️ When Your Teen’s Mind Feels as Messy as Their Room

If your teen’s backpack looks like a tornado hit it… you’re not alone.
But the real disorganization in ADHD isn’t just what you can see — it’s what’s going on inside their mind.

Inside the ADHD brain, thoughts race and collide.
Connections that seem obvious to you can feel invisible to your teen.
Without the executive function of organization, they can’t see how one event leads to another — which means they often repeat mistakes they don’t fully understand.

So how can you help them “see” what they can’t yet see?
👉 By asking open-ended questions.

These gentle, curious questions help your teen slow down and connect the dots between cause and effect.
They shift you from “reminder giver” to “thinking partner.”

Try these this week:

• “What's the hardest thing for you about this class?”

• “How do you want to approach this project tonight?”

• “When would be the best time to start your homework?”

When they make those connections for themselves, everything changes. ✨
One of my students went from failing a class to an 80% in just ten days — all because he finally saw the simple pattern behind his struggles.

So remember:

• Avoid why questions (they often trigger shame).

• Stay curious and calm.

• Celebrate every “aha” they discover.

You can’t organize their mind for them — but you can guide them toward clarity.
Start with just one open-ended question today.
