Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is a strong emotional reaction to real or imagined threats of rejection. People with ADHD really care about strong connections with others, which is a great strength overall. Many people with ADHD are very perceptive and aware. This can be problematic when the thought of rejection from strong connections becomes overhwelming. You may notice your child having difficulty maintaining peer relationships when conflict arises. The threat of rejection will always be the most intense with the parent/child relationship. When parents have requests or small critiques about past behavior, RSD amplifies those sentiments, and they go in deep. This manifests as anger, anxiety, avoidance, and isolation in the child. The ability to manage these responses is very important to maintain a healthy parent/child relationship. The antidote to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is to cultivate a strong connection by reinforcing unwavering support. It is vital to always speak to the unconditional love in the wake of mistakes or strong emotional responses. This feeling of connection removes any threat of rejection. Come to our ADHD Parenting Workshop on July 30th to learn more. Link in bio to register.

The behavioral aspects of ADHD are too often overlooked. One of the common themes of ADHD is Time Blindness. It can be incredibly frustrating to ask simple requests of your child, often repeatedly, and feel like it’s in one ear and out of the other. Or they agree happily and never get around to it. The tempting conclusion is that they are ignoring you or lying. Maybe that’s true sometimes, and maybe it’s related to Time Blindness… It’s a challenge of the ADHD brain to retain future based intentions/tasks. The working memory is not fully operational in people with ADHD, so the ability to remember and complete specific tasks suffers. This can actually lead to a feeling of shame and intense frustration for the child with ADHD, which may feel like more avoidance and resistance to a parent’s request. Therefore, it is helpful to guide the child towards a system that externalizes future based tasks: calendar reminders, a to-do list they carry with them, or even phone alarms. All of these serve to hold the child accountable on their terms… allowing you to serve a supportive role instead of their accountability system. It will take refinement to hone a system that works well, so model patience as your child finds their own path.
