Mom or Dad: take a moment and think about the story you tell yourself about your child with ADHD.
In this story, do you play the role of ally or adversary?
Do you feel helpful, or helpless? Excited or exasperated?
What would you be willing to do to have rosier visions of your child’s future?
I’m going to bet your child is fully capable of doing better. Your child may be frustrated by repeatedly coming up short, or ashamed that they’re disappointing you. Let’s redirect those energies, and find the most effective way for your child to tap into their strengths and creativity.
Tapping that well: for me, that’s a key part of good coaching.
