ADHD directly affects what we believe we’re capable of. Help your child see their potential by pointing out what you notice IS working.

This is hard and also true. Our kids needs us to look underneath their behaviors to be their guides and biggest supporters.

Where do you struggle with this the most? Is it seeing past the aggression, getting cooperation to teach new skills, or keeping judgment out of the equation? What else? Let me know what you’re thinking.

Guess what? Your teenager WANTS to spend time with you. Every behavior you witness may tell you that is not true, and I implore you to ignore all of them.

There is a push/pull I feel with my teens.

There are times we hang out and talk, and other times they want nothing to do with me. It's NOT personal, even though it totally feels that way.

Developmentally this is normal.
Teens need more independence.

They are individuating and learning how to navigate the world on their own, yet they also need structure and our continued guidance.

It's our job to stay connected to them (I know it's hard - keep trying!) and provide limits that still allow them to take risks.

Breathe! I know it's scary but it's vital.

If we control too much or leave them to their own devices, they tend to pull away and have the troubling behavior that goes along with it.

While everyday can be unpredictable, I focus on two things.
1 - How can I stay connected to my kids?
2 - IT'S NOT PERSONAL. (Yes, I know I already mentioned that.)

Try showing an interest in what they find important, even if you know nothing about it or find it boring.
Ask questions like, "tell me what you like about this?" or "help me understand how this works."
Join them in the activity.
Have them teach you.
Do more listening than talking, remembering you are the student in this scenario.

The goal is to enter their world. The more we do this, the more they feel unconditional love and safety.

That feeling of trust will make it easier for them to come to us when they really need to.

Listening.... 👂🏼

Have you ever REALLY been listened to? Has someone taken the time to put down what they were doing and offered you the space to share freely without an agenda?

When this happens, it creates magic! We feel safe because our words are heard and accepted without judgment or the need to fix. Most importantly, we feel seen and supported.

Unfortunately, many of us don’t often receive this magical gift. People in our life are well intentioned, but still miss the mark.

I, too, struggled with receiving this type of support over the years, and learned I needed to seek it out. I then learned to give it back, starting with my children and now with my clients who graciously share their pain and struggles.

I am a mama, an ADHDer, and a worrier too. I am also equipped with skills, experience, and a fierce passion to help others experience what I have also been given.

When you need support, please DM me for a free consultation. Don’t let time, money or life get in the way. You are worth it. 🌟

Having ADHD can make school difficult for children.

Does this resonate with you? 🤔

For me, I really connected with moodiness.

When I was young, and ADHD was not as well known, my emotions were all over the place. 🎢

I often felt different from others and didn’t understand why.
Considering all the different ways ADHD can affect us, it’s not surprising.

Maybe your children are experiencing this as well, and feel misunderstood.

Having curiosity about your children’s behaviors (or even yours) can help you understand the hidden truths they are feeling, and find ways to support them.

If you're not sure how to begin, reach out for some help!

As a child with ADHD, I used to have BIG reactions because I felt anxious, overwhelmed or rejected. I wasn’t trying to make a big deal of things for attention.

My outbursts helped me release stress and communicated I needed help.

It's likely your child needs to release stress and could use help also. A few ideas that come to mind are...

🕰 What time of day is easiest and hardest for your child?
Plan accordingly.

👉🏼 What can you do to set your child up to be successful with their task?
👉🏼 Does standing and pacing actually help her focus?
👉🏼 Does interrupting help him keep track of the conversation?
👉🏼 Do they perform better with tasks being broken down into very small pieces?

Our brains are wired differently, so we need different strategies to be successful.

Punishments and nagging won’t solve problems... openness and creativity will. 🧠💡
