I highly recommend that parents establish clear rules for appropriate technology and social media use (and related consequences for breaking those rules). This is especially important when you first allow kids to access the internet, when you give them personal devices, and as they begin to engage in online communication with others. You can modify the rules as they get older, while still monitoring their online/tech activity. I’ve heard parents say they don’t want to “violate their privacy” (and I get that!), but online isn’t private 😉

Shared my Technology child/teen contract on Doctor Radio! Parents can use this to establish rules/guidelines and related consequences to help manage online behavior. The best time to do this is when you first give kids devices or access to online games etc. but it’s never too late to put these in place!

Great discussion about creating effective routines with Susan Stiffelman today! Check out this and many other available webinars at www.susanstiffelman.com

Did you morning go smoothly today?

Or... did you find yourself shouting (or begging) to get your kids to get dressed or eat their breakfast? 😏

Was everyone at the bus stop or in the car on time?

Or... was there a frantic search for a missing homework assignment? 😩

Morning time is hectic for most families... but help is on the way! 😅

There are ways to keep mornings moving along without chaos and drama. The same can be true for homework, chores, and bedtime.

This is because most kids thrive on routines! 📝

I have a new class with Dr. Yamalis Diaz on The Power of Routines. Our session will be geared both to parents of neurodivergent kids (ADHD, ASD) and neurotypical children and teens. This class designed to help you create clear, specific routines for everyday activities, to help life run more smoothly. 🌈

Here are some of the things we'll be talking about:

• Science-backed benefits of routines for developing executive functioning 📊

• Kid-friendly time management tools to encourage independence ⏰

• How to create stress-free mornings with effective wake-up strategies, school preparation, and breakfast routines 🍳

• Soothing bedtime rituals for better relaxation and sleep 😴

• How to empower tweens and teens to assume responsibility for daily commitments 💪

• How to set healthy boundaries and limits around screen time 📱

• How to facilitate smooth transitions for two-home families 🏡🏡

The early bird discount expires tonight! Don't miss out.🐦

Why are more people interested in ? This is the question I helped answer for health.com.

I want to emphasize that medication for ADHD can be a very effective part of treatment, but people should also be seeking effective to learn skills and strategies for managing symptoms as well. Keep in mind those medications wear off after X number of hours. What are you doing to manage challenges when the meds wear off? Keep this in mind when seeking treatment.

Take a look at the article here:
https://www.health.com/why-are-more-people-getting-diagnosed-with-adhd-7112137

Information about ADHD has become more accessible, expanding the public's education and perspective of the diagnosis. This, and other factors, has led to an increase in ADHD diagnoses across the United States.
