I needed to hear this... we keep a low to no-sugar household and my son will often ask for soda and even when I say he shouldn't have it, he continues to ask and prod me to go get one. I realized as I was listening to this that I am not confidently just telling him no because I know it's not what's best for him. He was literally asking as I was listening to this and I used my mom voice and said "no. It's not good for you." He just walked away and came back later and gave me a hug and said he was sorry for bothering me about it." What?! I don't expect it to go that well every time, but that was amazing! I think I am going to look into integrating the outdoors into our homeschool more too.
In just the week and a half since I found you both, I have learned so much! For the first time I can recall, my son stopped himself mid-insult to me and contained his emotions a bit. He was very proud of himself, I could see it all over his face🥰
Loved this entire talk. Parents are DYING for this kind of clarity and encouragement. Words cannot express how grateful I am. Every point in this video resonated with me and is accurate!
Thank you both so much for your podcast and both of your programs. You have made a huge difference in our family's life. I was able to find the right psychiatrist for med management only. Your programs work!!!
Awesome podcast, guys! I will be sharing this with my parents at IEP meetings! Parents are extremely undereducated in executive function and need legitimate resources. It scares me how little parents know. Thank you for creating this podcast!
Could you share the news story about the profitability of ADHD-related social media posts? You mentioned it might be on CNN. I found a CNN story about the increase in teen self-diagnosis of mental health issues from non-professional accounts on social media. I wasn’t sure if that was the article or news segment you referenced.
Hi, I don't know an article about the profitability, but there have been studies showing how much misinformation on social media is put out by ADHD social media '"influencers".
Isn’t a good idea to ask what your child actually enjoys doing eg: basketball instead of football instead of forcing them to do something they don’t enjoy doing?
Sure, but there may be things they would enjoy yet haven't been exposed to yet. There may be things they have enjoyed but due to their difficulty with episodic memory they don't remember those experiences, and need an adult to help an adult make the connection. Kids with ADHD have a propensity to say "No" to anything new, unfamiliar or things they don't remember enjoying.
@@ADHDDudethank you. My son tends to say yes to most things and once he doesn’t like a small detail about the activity he wants to give up and it’s really hard to get him back into this activity😢
I only have availabily for coaching appointments with membership site members. You would have to reach out to GrowNow to ask if they do consultations, I don't want to speak for them. www.adhddude.com Thank you
I’ve often found the “masking” concept questionable. It always seemed what one person called “masking” another person would call performing life skills, or executive skills as you say. I have a friend with Tourette syndrome and he manages to suppress almost all his tics during the day so he does not have to disclose at work, but then comes home and a tsunami of tics pours out of him. To me that is masking. To me that seems different from the so called masking often described in the ADHD social media world.
What's your response to the many clinicians that state that masking is a poor choice for those with ADHD? Do you have a particular study you like to share that it is not inherently negative? Good listen today.

Such a perfect example, thank you for sharing this!
Yes! If we are on the fence inside ourselves, or not confident or sure of what we are telling our kids, they feel that. Thanks for sharing!

What do you guys charge for consultation?
I only have availabily for coaching appointments with membership site members. You would have to reach out to GrowNow to ask if they do consultations, I don't want to speak for them. www.adhddude.com Thank you

This is a perfect example you provided. Yes, the term "masking" is profoundly misunderstood and over-used.
What's your response to the many clinicians that state that masking is a poor choice for those with ADHD? Do you have a particular study you like to share that it is not inherently negative? Good listen today.
I would ask them to show me research data on it, and the longitudinal effects of "masking", which is a term that's become a disempowering narrative.
Did you edit out the cringe video? I didn’t hear it. I think it’s important for us to hear as context for the comments you made afterwards.
Yes because RUclips flagged it because it had music in the background
