Learn:
Why the backpack checklist never gets used, and where systems actually need to live to work.

The Routine Chart Didn't Fail. It Was Never Built for Your Kid's Brain.
A free-flowing 3-video series + printable workbook to help you build a routine your family will actually keep — even on the hard weeks.
You've built the chart. Color-coded, maybe even laminated. It worked for four days and then quietly disappeared under a stack of mail — and you started wondering if the problem was you. It wasn't. Most routine charts are built for a brain that doesn't need one. This one isn't. I'm Kelly Sutherland — National Board Certified Teacher, Reading Specialist, 25+ years in the classroom, and a bonus mom to a son with dyslexia. I have ADHD myself. I've watched this exact moment play out in my own home and in twenty-five years of classrooms, and I built this kit from what actually works — not what looks good on Pinterest.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
Three short video lessons, in order, each with a reflection prompt, a one-week checklist, and a printable to go with it:
Lesson 1 — It Starts With You
Before you touch the chart, you'll find the one moment that's actually working — the connection underneath the task — so the routine you build protects it instead of replacing it.
Lesson 2 — It's Not Memory. It's Geography.
The single biggest reason routines fail isn't willpower — it's location. You'll map exactly where your family's routine needs to live so it's usable in the moment, not just on paper.
Lesson 3 — Built to Survive Week Six
Every routine breaks eventually — the ones that survive were built to. You'll write your Normal Day, Hard Day, and Recovery Day versions, so one bad morning doesn't undo the whole system.
Plus: The Build Your New Routine workbook — habit stacking, a point-of-performance map, and a fully worked example, so you're not starting from a blank page - A discussion board for each lesson inside the free LIDW community, so you're not building this alone
This isn't theory. It's what I've watched work in my classroom for 25 years, and what I've had to rebuild more than once in my own house.
WHO THIS IS FOR
- Parents of kids with ADHD, dyslexia, or both, who are tired of routines that only work for other families
- Parents who've already tried the printable chart, the sticker system, the timer — and are ready for something built around how their kid's brain actually works, not against it
- Parents who want a plan they can actually keep on the weeks that go sideways, not just the good ones
FAQ
Haven't I already tried routine charts that didn't work?
This isn't another chart. It's the thinking behind why the last one didn't stick, so whatever you build next, you build it right the first time.
Do I really have time for a whole course right now?
Each lesson is short enough to watch during a coffee break, with one small action for the week, not a syllabus.
Will this actually work for my kid?
This kit is built specifically around ADHD and dyslexic brains, not a general parenting framework with "for ADHD" bolted on.
A 3-video mini-course for families raising kids with ADHD and dyslexia. Each video pairs a short lesson with a reflection question, a mini checklist, and a link to that topic's discussion board inside our free community — so you're not just watching, you're building. By the end, you'll have one real system in place, built to survive past the point where most routines quietly fall apart.
None of this works if it's copied from someone else's Pinterest board.
It works when it's built around how your family's brain actually functions.
That's what this kit helps you do.
