Side-by-Side Success - A Parent’s Guide to Using Body-Doubling to Support Chores, Homework, and Daily Routines for Neurodivergent Kids #917977

For many neurodivergent children, tasks like cleaning up, finishing homework, or following routines can feel overwhelming. But there’s a powerful, research-backed strategy that makes these challenges easier: body-doubling. By simply being present, parents can help their kids focus, feel supported, and complete tasks with less resistance and more confidence.

Side-by-Side Success is a practical guide for parents who want to use body-doubling as a tool for smoother family life. You’ll learn how to apply this technique for chores, study time, and transitions, with step-by-step strategies tailored to ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent needs. The book also explores how digital tools and AI companions can extend body-doubling support when parents aren’t available.

This isn’t about forcing compliance—it’s about creating structure, safety, and encouragement through presence. With real-life examples, scripts, and routines, you’ll discover how to turn moments of struggle into opportunities for success and connection.

Parenting neurodivergent kids comes with unique challenges—but with the right strategies, you can help them thrive side by side.
