SUPPORT FOR YOUR ADHD KIDS

(Affordable phone coaching is available for a full range of topics. Special rate: Only $1.90/min with a 15-minute minimum)

ADHD kids are not crazy, lazy, or stupid BUT they do need your help! Which of these challenges apply to your child?

  1. Inattentive (forgetful, easily distracted, poor recall, lack of focus, gets bored easily).
  2. Hyperactivity (physical: restlessness, fidgeting or mental: over thinking or hops from one topic to the next).
  3. Organization (trouble planning, scheduling, prioritizing, tracking time, and following through).
  4. Impulsiveness (makes snap decisions, takes on too much, speaks before thinking)
  5. Moody (easily frustrated, too critical of self, lost hope, feels stuck, lashes out).
  6. Perfectionism (afraid of making mistakes, overly concerned about the details).
  7. Stressed (overwhelmed, over-reacts or “shuts-down”).
  8. Communication (excessive talking, listens impatiently, interrupts others, difficulty
    assessing people or situations, and prone to miscommunications.)

“I had no idea that a simple new strategy on my part could have such a big impact on my daughter’s behavior. With your help, she rarely over-reacts any more. She’s calmer and we enjoy being together now.” - Chris Proctor, D.C.


You can help your kids right now …

… build confidence and become more successful
… learn to uncover and use their strengths to better manage themselves
… discover creative ways to stay focused and complete important tasks.

I can personally relate to some of the above challenges. I have accepted my hyperactivity and live a balanced life. I’ve learned that it IS possible to relax, even meditate, and focus. It was a slow process for me but I stuck with it. I still fidget, cross and re-cross my legs (especially in the movie theater) but not nearly as much. I often don’t finish reading all the books I’ve started, and I’m never at a loss for creative ideas. Sometimes I take on too much (a typical overachiever!). I’m thriving and I love my life. That’s what I want for you and your family, too.

I am a Mom to four biological children and four stepchildren, and I have subscribed to many different parenting newsletters, but your One Minute Parent is the only one I actually read because it is so short. Somehow you pack so much information - that is really usable and enlightening - into that one minute. Thank you so much for you have really helped my beautiful blended family!
