Caution with painting ADHD with too broad of a brush.

“Episode 13 for “learned helplessness” should come with a disclaimer. I truly hope people seek other advice outside of this. While in theory this might work “not being their child’s frontal lobe” or anticipating their child using “every trick in the book” to get their way and manipulate is kind of rotten way of viewing a child who struggles with executive dysfunction. I suffered in silence for the earlier half of my 40 years in life due to adults framing my behaviors this way. As if I was premeditated , calculating and manipulative. I strong-armed my way into success on my own but not without loss of time and having to rebuild self esteem on my own and having a lot of bad life experiences. There are many qualified child psychologists (PHDs) out there who can understand the nuances between each and every person regarding this diagnosis and what comorbidities might be overlapping. First and foremost , love your kids , be real with them and try to get at what are truly crippling concerns for them. I experienced a tremendous amount of shame with my struggle to be on time , finish my homework on time etc. To the point where I skipped classes entirely to avoid this shame. Fortunately I do not have learning disabilities and I loved learning on my own. I would consider myself self taught. I was able to self learn, write papers and pass exams but as we know that is not enough to pass grades. Participation , homework and being on time were my weaknesses. I hear a lot of focus on how to handle screen addiction , which makes sense since we are in the midst of the “iPad kids” generation. It all sounds like advice that people want to hear. They also seem to speak to a very specific socioeconomic demographic. Not sure how self aware the hosts are or if they care. I am sure their advice works for some but this is a complex disorder that exists on-a-spectrum. One size fits all is a great selling point but in actuality this “tough love” approach will not work for everyone. There are many parental personalities out there and one person’s idea of what tough love is might vary wildly and perhaps in damaging ways then the next parent. If you can, save your pennies to seek a licensed child psychologist PhD. Reminder , girls experience is different from boys - ideally the nuance should be identified with every topic covered here. Good Luck.”
