When a child with ADHD melts down or ignores directions, it’s easy to assume defiance. But often, the truth is simpler: they are overwhelmed.

"Children with ADHD are not disobedient, they are overwhelmed." – Ari Tuckman

Your child’s behavior is communication.

Have you ever wondered why your child can’t seem to plan ahead, remember what you just told them, or keep track of assignments? These struggles are often about executive skills, the brain’s management system.

"Executive skills are the air traffic control system of the brain." – Peg Dawson & Richard Guare

Understanding this is key to supporting your child.

Sometimes it’s the smallest wins that mean the most: getting shoes on the right feet, finishing homework after three reminders, or simply sitting through dinner. These moments are victories for children with ADHD.

"For children with ADHD, the smallest successes are often the most important." – Ned Hallowell

Kids don’t grow skills through criticism — they grow them through coaching, modeling, and support.

Support isn’t spoiling. It’s strategy.

This week I’m focusing on what actually helps ADHD and neurodivergent kids thrive:
✔ Skill-building instead of shame
✔ Structure over punishment
✔ Collaboration instead of correction

I’ll also be sharing details about the Executive Function webinar happening Wednesday.

Have you ever thought, “My child knows the rules, so why can’t they just follow them?” ADHD is often not about intelligence or effort. It’s about difficulty turning knowing into doing.

"ADHD is not a disorder of knowing what to do, but of doing what one knows." – Thomas E. Brown

Awareness is the first step to change.
