SMART ADHD Behavior-Based Goals
When you’re discussing goal setting, SMART has nothing to do with your intelligence. (But it is smart to use this technique!). But everything to do with a great framework to help your ADHD brain develop a solid goal!
NEW SPACE FOR NEW Stories AND NEW Strategies
That negative self-talk? The idea that you’re incapable? Those thoughts cripple your ability to dream. So you settle for less. Let’s mute those messages and create the space you need for a more accurate story (and a happier ending).
Imagine, say, making the honor roll, getting into your dream college, or securing that long-elusive promotion …
Feels good, yes? Let’s put a plan into place — a plan attuned to your strengths — so those dreamy prospects become ever more likely through ADHD Coaching and Consulting.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO BUILD YOUR Skills
Better late than never? Absolutely! In my book, the more joy, the better. I ask for a three-month commitment and, for some clients, that’s long enough to see substantial improvements. Others take a bit longer, but my step-by-step game plans provide lasting value via better grades and happier families for my younger clients, and improved job performance (and happier home lives) for my adult clients.
Success and peace of mind are here for the taking. Whether you’re here on behalf of your child or yourself, know that small steps, with the right ADHD Coaching, can make all the difference in the world.
Hello! I’m Christine (the “C” of “CK”), and I founded my practice to help you build a life of joy and dignity through a strategic understanding of ADHD.
ADHD can be a real pain, and for me, it’s personal, since I have ADHD, too.
As your coach, I work with you (or your child) to:
> boost your understanding of the impact of ADHD on you and your family
> help you tell your own story through the lens of ADHD, and take proper stock of your strengths and limits, and
> master the skills and strategies necessary to sharpen your focus, sustain your motivation, and fulfill your responsibilities
It’s why my logo is a camera lens, encircled by the words “dream”, “believe”, and “achieve”.

ADHD Goal Setting
There is a different type of goal that doesn’t focus on the outcome at all! Rather than focusing on the outcome, this type of goal focuses on changing behaviors that make achieving the outcome-based goals so much easier and faster! These types of goals are called behavior-based goals.
Caffeine and ADHD: Benefits, Risks, and Considerations for Children and Teens
Caffeine is a stimulant found in many beverages and foods, including coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate. It is one of the most commonly consumed psychoactive substances in the world and is known to have various effects on the body and brain. For individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), caffeine can be a helpful tool for improving focus, attention, and alertness. However, it is important to be mindful of the potential risks and consider the specific needs of children and teens regarding caffeine consumption.
This year the school program is not as demanding and the teachers are aware of his coping skills he learned with you and can intervene before disaster strikes. So we are all happy.
