Working with children is the greatest reward ever.
I’m there to provide therapy and help them feel better,
yet I’m the one who leaves with such a warm heart.

We often label behaviours like interrupting or blurting out as “impulsivity”, it’s seen as behavioural.

But many of these behaviours happen during communication, which relies heavily on pragmatic language skills and real time cognitive processing.

Understanding this perspective can shift how we interpret ADHD communication challenges.

If you have ADHD and people say you “interrupt” or “talk over people” this might explain why.

Children with an ADHD diagnosis exhibit higher rates of inappropriate conversation skills such as starting conversations inappropriately, changing subjects rapidly, directing conversation towards own interest, difficulties taking turn in role of speaker and listener.

It’s not behavioural, it’s related to communication skills.

Don’t mistake silence for understanding 🧠

A study looking at the effects of ADHD medication on 173 children found:
despite improvements in seatwork and behaviour, it made no difference to what they actually learnt (Pelham et al, 2022).

‘Acute effects of medication on daily academic seatwork productivity and classroom behaviour did not translate into improved learning’.

I think North Lincolnshire should do this!
1 minute of meditation at the same time on the same day! What do you think?
I’ll organise it 🧠

Thailand has embarked on a massive initiative to promote world peace by involving over 1 million children in meditation across 5,000 schools. The country's commitment to mental well-being is inspiring, creating a unique environment where young minds are trained to foster peace and mindfulness.

The meditative practices not only encourage inner peace but also cultivate a sense of empathy and community among the students. This initiative reflects the power of collective efforts in shaping a better future, as it highlights the importance of peacebuilding from a young age.

By integrating such practices into the school curriculum, Thailand is setting an example of how education systems can go beyond academics and contribute to the emotional development of children. 🌍💫
