					<description><![CDATA[If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “Just start it,” while your child sits stuck and overwhelmed, you’re not alone. For many children—especially those with ADHD—the hardest part isn’t doing the task, it’s beginning it. This isn’t about laziness or defiance; it’s about a genuine barrier in task initiation.

They’re in our schools, in our kids’ pockets, and in the moments that used to be filled with conversation, rest, or play.
