In case you are wondering what a comprehensive evaluation can look like for kids and teens, here’s what ny process looks like as a child psychologist.

If your child has ADHD or you’re concerned they may have ADHD, a comprehensive evaluation can give you a better understanding of their strengths, the areas to support, and any concerns outside of ADHD to be addressed.

After the testing is done, I meet with families to go over the results and individualized recommendations.

I am currently accepting new clients for evaluations in California.

Schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone call to determine if it’s the right fit for your family.

You don’t always need a comprehensive evaluation by a psychologist, but there are some circumstances where it can be particularly helpful.

For these symptoms, psychologists can help understand harder to see symptoms and differentiate between different concerns (such an anxiety, depression, etc).

Also want to shout out that my fellow mental health practitioners such as psychiatrists can do this as well.

In my next video though, I’ll be talking about one situation in which you would need a psychologist to assess concerns related to ADHD.

You’re not procrastinating, here’s what you’re doing…

The next time you want to get started on something, describe what you are actually choosing to do in that moments instead of what you are procrastinating.

Instead of “I’m procrastinating doing my homework” it’s “I’m choosing to watch TV instead of do my homework”

And whenever you’re trying to motivate yourself to change, do it with self-compassion.

If you’re an adult struggling with procrastination and wondering if you have ADHD, I’m accepting new clients for evaluations in CA and FL.

Helping ADHD kids with their emotions isn’t as easy as giving them the tools to calm themselves down.

These are the steps I teach inside Connected & Practical Parenting (on 40% sale until 4/8) to help you:

✔️ Understand why your child’s emotions get so big
✔️ What to do so you are confident knowing what to say, do, and not do in the moment
✔️ How to help your child learn from their mistakes while not making them feel bad

Most of the parents I work with come in feeling like they’re just white-knuckling through every meltdown.

And honestly, this is the biggest module inside the course. Because this is where parents are usually struggling the most.

Head to the link in my bio to learn more about what’s included in the course and to grab the 40% savings before it expires.

and some of y’all need more whimsy 😏

I started creating shrinky d**k keychains for myself and then decided…why not create them for my private practice too?

Because marketing your practice doesn’t have to be boring, and it can be fun too.

PS-I have lots of marketing resources for therapists linked in my bio if you want more.

Listen, we all need some support for getting things done.

So you don’t need to feel bad more using rewards for your ADHD child because they actually support their brain differences.

Have any questions about why they’re helpful? Let me know in the comments below!

And for a deep dive into the right way to use them for your ADHD child, head to the link in my bio to join my course for parents of ADHD kids.

The 40% off sale ends on Wednesday!

And no, they don’t kill motivation.

First, a reward isn’t just a ‘sticker chart’ or ‘a piece of candy’. It’s anything that makes it more likely you’ll do the thing you’re trying to do.

👉Getting to watch TV after doing homework

👉Not getting nagged by a parent because you got up on time

Yep, those both might be considered rewards for ADHD kids.

The research that sparked the anti-rewards movement shows that external rewards can undermine motivation for tasks a child already loves intrinsically.

❌ But that’s not what we are talking about with ADHD.

We’re talking about homework, chores, and morning routines.

And for ADHD kids, rewards bridge the gap for them since they process rewards and experience motivation differently.

So if reward systems are part of how you support your ADHD kid, you’re not doing it wrong. And if they aren’t working for you…

Let me show you how inside of Connected & Practical Parenting. There’s an entire module focused on motivation and how to use rewards in a helpful way.

Very much against this type of language 🙄

Because it’s not true, even if it feels like more people you know are being diagnosed with ADHD.

There are still plenty of people, especially women and girls, who are being missed until much later.

Who has ever had their ADHD tween or teen say they don’t need help?

But then you see them struggling to do their homework and you don’t know if you should back off or if you should jump in and help 🤔

These three tips can help give your teen more independence while also making sure they aren’t left to fail all on their own.

Inside Connected & Practical Parenting, I go into even more detail on how to help your ADHD teen with homework and building independence.

So if you’ve been struggling to find the balance between being your ADHDer’s persona assistant and completely hands off, this is for you.

💬 Comment SALE and I’ll see you the link to join for 40% off until 4/8 at midnight!

Listen, if the highly sensitive and deeply feeling kids tools aren’t working for your ADHD child…it probably means you need something specific to ADHD 👀

Because here’s why it might not be working:

👉 The terms highly sensitive person usually can map onto neurotypical kids, kids with ADHD, kids with anxiety, and more…and the way you treat emotional dysregulation for ADHD vs anxiety is VERY different

👉 We know what helps ADHD kids 🙌 but a lot of those parenting skills aren’t included inside these programs because they were never built for ADHD kids in the first place.

So if you’ve been wondering why these tools aren’t working for you, it’s probably because you need ADHD specific support.
