🧠 Adults who cause more harm and ignore strengths (Executive Function, ADHD, Neurodivergence)

Parents, I was asked this, "What would YOU want to hear from those in your life that were harmful & contributed to causing more harm & not seeing the strengths?"
The answer may surprise you.
Here's my response.

✅ ABOUT
I'm Seth of SethPerler.com, and I create free videos to help parents & professionals help students who struggle with homework, motivation, grades, focus, study skills, time management, organization & overwhelm, so they can build a happy & successful future, despite outdated educational norms.
I'm a recovering “lazy failure” of a student, and former teacher turned Executive Function Expert Nerd. I help misunderstood kids learn how awesome they are, while creating breakthroughs to help change their trajectory… for good.
And I can’t wait to show you how! I teach parents and educators how to use my non-traditional, yet practical approaches to help kids boost EF skills.
And I get it firsthand because I’ve been there, and have helped tens of thousands of parents and teachers learn what works, despite all the outdated educational fluff floating around.

Cookie-cutter approaches don't work.
To help outside-the-box, neurodiverse kids, we need the right tools.
Traditional interventions often fail because they don't get to the ROOT of the problem.
So patterns get WORSE each year, leading to pervasive difficulties transitioning into adulthood.
Let's do this RIGHT.

"I've lost my way, I want to help, I see your strengths, I understand your struggles, they make sense, you are not alone." Thank you, Seth!

I have a daughter who is 2e and had a teacher last year (year 3), that was exactly as you described in your video. This has done immense damage to my daughters love of learning, and self concept. At one point we asked my daughter, when you call out, is it because you don't understand the question or is it because you know the answer? what is it that makes it hard for you to wait. Her answer was "I know the answer straight away and put my hand up and look around and no one else has their hand up yet, and I try and wait for her to pick me. Then I call out the answer because I just want the teacher to know that I know the answer so she will like me."
She spent the entire year feeling that the teacher hated her (her words) because she never felt seen or acknowledged.
She now has an automatic expectation that teachers don't like her. Luckily, we have an amazing class teacher that is working really hard to build trust and a relationship with her. It really goes to show how much harm and impact one teacher can have on your child.

Thank you for this video! I have a child who I suspect may have ADHD-I just want to help him, but what was expected of me when I was young always gets in the way. But I am trying!

When I was dignosed at 11 we were told "ADHD is a learning disability that goes away in adulthood so just wait it out." The general consensus was that we needed to practice these skills so when we became adults we could do them. My Asperger's was considered a social learning disabilty that could be mostly overcome.

Thank you so much for helping me understand what it must be like from this perspective, and its associated challenges and possible related emotional effects.
