Episode notes
ADHD Is A Self-Regulation Issue
- ADHD is primarily a self-regulation deficit, not just lack of attention.
- Building frustration muscles trains emotional and executive control.
Create Planned Struggle Moments
- Pause before rescuing and ask your child what part they can do.
- Use homework or chores as brief, manageable practice of frustration tolerance.
Ignore Learned Helplessness And Set Boundaries
- Don't rescue when a child claims 'I can't' or self-defeats; set a calm emotional boundary.
- Ask for effort, not instant solutions, and require attempts before helping.
