Shining With ADHD by The Childhood Collective
SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #156: I Didn’t Mean to Do That! Impulsivity and ADHD The Childhood Collective 5/15/2024 SUMMARY “Why did you do that?” “What were you thinking?” Sound familiar? When our kids act impulsively, it is easy for us to get frustrated and confused. We might start asking our kids why they behaved the way they did. The truth is, initially, they often don’t even know. Once everyone is regulated, it is easier to figure out what happened. As parents, we naturally want our kids with ADHD to slow down and consider their actions, but it's a...

Shining With ADHD by The Childhood Collective
SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #154: Why Kids with ADHD Lie and What to Do About It The Childhood Collective 5/1/2024 SUMMARY Most of the time, we don’t need to see growing noses to know if our kids are telling us a lie.

Shining With ADHD by The Childhood Collective
SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #153: Understanding ADHD in Girls with Psychologist Stephen Hinshaw 4/24/2024 SUMMARY When people think of ADHD, they often picture the wiggly 6-year-old who struggles to keep his hands to himself and loves making his classmates laugh. We don’t often picture the little girl with a busy brain and loves to talk. For years, girls were overlooked in the research for ADHD. This resulted in a misunderstanding of their need for support as well as options for evidence-based treatment until adolescence. Getting these amazing girls the right treatment as early as...

SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #151: Growing up with Undiagnosed ADHD with Therapist Holly Blanc Moses 4/10/2024 SUMMARY As kids are evaluated and diagnosed with ADHD, it is not uncommon for parents to look back on their childhood.

Shining With ADHD by The Childhood Collective
SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #149: Understanding Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and ADHD with Therapist Natasha Daniels 3/27/2024 SUMMARY In our culture, we hear the term “OCD” thrown around a lot. “I’m so OCD about…” While this isn’t intended for harm, it does foster confusion about what it really means to have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It’s far more nuanced than the common idea of constant hand-washing or organization. OCD can be common in kids with ADHD, so in today’s episode, we talk with OCD therapist Natasha Daniels to hear from her 20+ years of experience with...

Shining With ADHD by The Childhood Collective
SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #147: “Defiance” and ADHD: Getting Curious About What’s Beneath the Surface The Childhood Collective 3/13/2024 SUMMARY Asking your child to clean their room or do one page of homework shouldn’t launch a battle complete with meltdowns, but often, for kids with ADHD, it does. You’re trying your hardest to breathe and regulate, but inside, you’re thinking, “Why is everything a fight?!” For those of us who grew up in strict, authoritarian homes, this is even more triggering. We feel disrespected by the “defiance” and don’t understand why some...

SUMMARY
“I want to pick the show!”
“I want to sit by Mom!”
“Leave me alone!”
The sibling struggle is real and can be exhausting for parents and caregivers. Trying to operate as a mediator between your kids gets old very quickly. We know that having a child or two in the home with ADHD only intensifies the inevitable conflict. In this episode, we interview Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart, a standout in pediatric psychology, about navigating developmental sibling conflict. We hope to help your kids move from competition to cooperation.

AFFILIATE INFORMATION
We talk A LOT about executive function and what it takes for our kids with ADHD to plan and execute important tasks in their lives. But what about us? The mental load of parenting is real, and there is SO MUCH we have to use our executive functions for. One of those things is meal planning. What does everyone like? What will my kids eat? Which family member can have dairy, and which one can’t have gluten? The list goes on and on. We know nutrition is important, but balanced meals take a backseat between school, therapy appointments, activities, and more. That is why we are loving Hungryroot. They offer “good-for-you groceries and simple recipes.” We have loved having one less thing to worry about. As always, we want to help you, so we’ve got a code for 40% off your first box.
