ADHD Flashcards
How shame can present in ADHD?
Could be a driver of motivation but comes with side effects:
Unworthiness- belittling yourself in your head and around others
Fear- that people will find out that you are a fraud, not good enough
Avoidance - if you are dominated by negative thoughts, you avoid doing things that cause pain
*ADHDs rely on their emotions to make decisions and motivate themselves - examples?
Sibling competition
Sensation of being treated unfairly
Code word to signal that child needs to calm down?
Bubble gum?
7-11?

Kids do well if they can — not “when they want to,” but when they can.
Why it is difficult for ADHD kids to learn?
Before learning can happen, you must believe you have the ability to learn.
Children with ADHD don’t often believe this, and that explains their response to challenges.

What to do in response to criticism or disagreement?
Ask questions about what exactly and how it affects the other person
In the meantime take 8-10 deep breaths exhaling completely
Agree with what makes sense, calmly state your point of view using “and” not “but”
If needed, repeat your response, calmly and relaxed, in the same words ….while breathing deep - this will allow you to activate hyper focus too!

All emotions typically are more intense!

Why to control ADHD?
So you have more life choices down the road.
Similarly with education.

Validating child’s feelings can reduce their stress level especially when they are already distressed. Examples:
I know it is hard to wait... That must have hurt... It’s hard when you don’t do as well as you wanted to... It feels base to lose... We all get angry when... I can see you are feeling... That can be really annoying... I bet you are sad because... How can I help you...
