❤️

One day, the little moments you have with your child today will become their childhood memories tomorrow.

The way you speak to them.
The way you respond when they make mistakes.
The way you comfort them when they’re overwhelmed.

It all matters more than we realize.

Children may not remember every rule or every lecture…
but they will remember how they felt around you.

Did home feel safe?
Did they feel heard?
Did they feel loved, even on the hard days?

Parenting isn’t about being perfect every second.
It’s about being intentional with the moments we do have.

Because childhood is temporary.
But the impact lasts for years.

💛 Small moments. Lasting impact.

🦄 MEDICAL MYTHS THAT NEED TO DIE 🦄

⭐️“Humans only use 10% of their brain”. No.

⭐️ Shaving does not make your hair grow back thicker.

⭐️ Pulling out one gray hair will not cause several gray hairs to replace it.

⭐️ Cracking your knuckles does not cause arthritis. (I have disappointed several parents who ask me to lecture their teenagers on this one. sorry boos)

⭐️ “Reading in low light causes poor eyesight.” Nope. Neither does sitting close to the TV.

⭐️ Cold weather does not cause colds. Going outside with wet hair on a cold day will not make you sick.

⭐️ It doesn’t take seven years to digest gum. Heehee.

⭐️ “Detoxes and cleanses rid the body of toxins.” - Unless you’re eating a whole-ass liver or kidney, no. Huge scams.

⭐️ You can’t swallow your tongue when you have a seizure.

⭐️ Green snot doesn’t mean it’s a bacterial infection.

⭐️ "You can't get a flu shot if you have an egg allergy." - Yes you can. You can even if you have had anaphylactic reactions to egg. (Source 2)

⭐️ “Humans should drink 8 glasses of water a day.” - Nah. Water requirements change based on a person’s size, that day’s temperature, that day’s activity level, etc…

⭐️ You do not have to wait to swim after eating. The whole "wait thirty minutes" rule is a widespread medical myth. Worst you may have is a small cramp or some mild nausea. There is no evidence that eating before swimming increases drowning rates (Source 4)

⭐️ Sugar does not make children hyper.

⭐️ "Cereal or solid foods will help your baby sleep all night". Nope. I'm sorry.

⭐️ Cranberry juice doesn’t cure or prevent UTIs. (Source 3) **EDIT: it may provide some mild preventative protection; more recent Cochrane review added, Source 5

⭐️ "You lose most of your heat through your head". Nuh uh. Our head is like 7-9% of our body's surface area. Not computing.

Share, far and wide. Blow some minds.
Hugs,
❤ DA

Here's a photo I took in my favorite place in America, Grand Teton National Park, on a photography trip. This quiet little fox crept up on our group as we were focusing on a big herd of elk. it was silent and magical. I miss Wyoming. Maybe it's time to go back this fall. 📸

Don’t let anyone tell you your adhd child tween or teen can’t . Tell them to fluff off !!!

She has ADHD. And she is standing on an Olympic podium with a medal around her neck.

Read that again.

A child with ADHD. A brain the world calls distracted.
Too much. Not focused enough. Not disciplined enough.

And yet… there she is.

Alysa Liu didn’t succeed because her ADHD disappeared. She succeeded because she learned how to work with her brain not against it.

“I have ADHD and I love situations that I’m not expecting. It gives me a dopamine rush.”

That dopamine rush? That’s the same brain chemistry your child has.

The brain that seeks novelty.
The brain that thrives under urgency.
The brain that feels everything deeply.
The brain that refuses to quit.

This is why what you say to your child matters so much.

Because when the world says
“You’re not trying hard enough.”
“You’re lazy.”
“You’re not living up to your potential.”

They start to believe it.

But when you say
“I see you.”
“I believe in you.”
“You are capable.”

Everything changes.

ADHD does not mean they can’t. It means their path will look different. And different paths slead to extraordinary places.

Your child is not a problem to fix.
They are a possibility to protect.

Never let anyone convince them otherwise.

Drop a ❤️ in honour of all our amazing adhd kids who ate simply extraordinary
