A Child’s Voice: ADHD – Inattentive Type Girl Version

This isn’t about not listening.
It’s about a brain that drifts, disconnects, and works hard to stay present in a world that rarely slows down.

ADHD Inattentive Type is often missed because it’s quiet.
These children aren’t always disruptive — they’re overlooked, misunderstood, and told they’re “daydreaming”, “lazy”, or “not trying”.

This visual shares what life can feel like from the inside.
The mental noise. The effort it takes to focus. The shame that builds when needs go unseen.

When we listen to the child’s voice, we move from correction to connection.
From frustration to understanding.
From labels to support.

See the visual for download instructions via the Dropbox link. Printer-friendly version included.

Boy version has already been published.

Over 300 kids are still waiting for a mentor.
This mural was created to help make that number impossible to ignore.

If you’ve ever thought about making a difference in a young person’s life, this is your sign.

Proud to spotlight right here on the Graffiti Bridge. Sometimes art doesn’t just decorate a wall it starts a conversation.

One stabilizing habit for your body.

Pick something that helps you feel physically grounded: consistent bedtime, brief daily movement, drinking water throughout the day, eating regular meals.

Just one small thing that supports your physical baseline.

One habit for your mind. Something that creates space for processing: five minutes of meditation, a few sentences in a journal, a therapy appointment on the calendar, ten pages of reading before bed. This doesn't need to be elaborate. It just needs to give your mind some structured time to settle.

One relational habit.

Some form of regular connection: weekly text exchange with a friend, shared meals with family, attending one community gathering. Something that maintains your social bonds without requiring enormous effort.

That's the framework. Three small habits across three domains. Everything else can wait until you have actual capacity for it. The elaborate morning routine, the fitness goals, the productivity systems, all of that can come later if it feels genuinely useful, not because January 1st demands it.

Give yourself until mid-January to just recover and adjust before expecting new habits to stick. If you do start a habit this week, make it small enough to maintain even when you're tired. Remember that the first week of January can be for rest and recalibration, not transformation.
