Scenario

When family members enable each other's learning struggles

My teenage daughter and I are both struggling students — she has ADHD and I'm going back to school at 45 — and we thought we could help each other with accountability and study strategies, but instead we just mirror each other's avoidance patterns and executive dysfunction.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people with similar cognitive challenges are inadvertently reinforcing each other's maladaptive learning patterns instead of developing better metacognitive strategies.
