ADHD IS OVER!

HOW [NOT] TO ADHD is an exposé on how many experts out there in the 'Coping Camp' cherry-pick studies to suit their own agendas. Furthermore, many slogans and terms have been loosely thrown around by experts & activists alike. In this episode, we explore the saying "People with ADHD have a harder time with rejections", as well as "People with ADHD are more likely to end up doing drugs, get in trouble and even end up in jail - because of their ADHD." When we dig deeper into these type of statements, we quickly see that it's all none sense and not really addressing what's going on in the lives of these children (or adults). It's not the ADHD, its the friction in their lives that cause them to show traits that will quickly get labeled and diagnosed as a 'disorder'.

PARENTING: THE CAUSE AND THE CURE is a powerful rant on the importance of parenting. ADHD is not genetic in the sense that it is predetermined. One can be predisposed to the traits of ADHD, but the study of epigenetics clearly shows that the environment is 100% responsible for turning on or off someone's genes. Hence, parenting is the most powerful force when consciously done to turn on or off those genes. Sure, education, nutrition, heavy metals, video game exposure, sleep etc. all play a part in the environment of a child. But no part of that environment is as important as parenting. Even though pharmaceutical companies have coined and pushed the expression: "ADHD is not due to bad parenting", we are big believers that while it's not due to 'bad' parenting, it's definitely due to 'unconscious parenting'. Letting parents off the hook by telling them that there is nothing they can do about ADHD and that they had nothing to do with it is simply supporting the idea of 'irresponsible parents' who fall victims to the interests of powerful groups who benefit from making children dependent on stimulant drugs or other external therapies and coping strategies, ultimately sentencing them to a 'disordered life.' Listen in and hear for yourself what parents can do to dissolve their children's ADHD traits (aka behaviors) that are essentially direct reactions to a child's struggles with their environment. The struggles are real. The [disempowering] label doesn't have to be!

WHERE HAVE ALL THE NORMAL CHILDREN GONE is an exploration of the term 'normal' and a look into the pathological craze of destroying the context around a normal childhood... The following is a select list of just a few of hundreds of thousands of books out there, attempting to label kids as 'not normal' or 'different': -The Virtual Child: The Terrifying Truth About What Technology is doing to Children by Cris Rowan -The Angry Child by Tim Murphy -The Bipolar Child by Dimitry Papolos -The Highly-Sensitive Child by Elaine Aron -The Challenging Child by Stanley Greenspan -The Strong-Willed Child by James Dobson -The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel Seigel -The Hurried Child by David Elkind -The Defiant Child by Russell Barkley (Barfley, like David Stein used to say) -The Misunderstood Child by Larry Silver -The Spirited Child by Mary Sheedy Kurchinka -The Out-of-Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz -The Explosive Child by Ross Greene -The Silenced Child by Claudia Gold Why are we doing this to our children? What benefits do we gain from doing this? If it's not the parents and families, who is supposed to be gaining these benefits? We know for sure that it's not the children. And if it's not the children, then who??? Listen in and hear for yourself what is happening out there in the world of labeling our children!

FREE TO LEARN is a radically insightful conversation with Peter Gray, an American psychology researcher, and scholar. Peter is a research professor of psychology at Boston College and the author of an introductory psychology textbook. He is known for his book 'Free to Learn' (translated into 18 languages) and his work on the interaction between education and play, and his evolutionary perspective on psychology theory. Peter sat down with us to discuss the history of education, its flaws, the power of child-led education and the importance of nurturing our children and to see play as their main way to learn and develop. Could it be that ADHD is a result of a 'too rigid' and outdated conveyor-belt, one-size-fits-all, starved-of-play type of learning environment? ADHD sure did not exist prior to western society's [industrial revolution era] classrooms... Listen in and hear for yourself! We promise you tons of wisdom nuggets!

NO MORE PITY PARTIES IN VICTIMHOOD is an exploration of why people with ADHD aren't yet fed up with being labeled as 'disordered', 'less than normal', 'doomed for life' etc. Prior to 1973 being homosexual was considered a disorder according to the DSM... it wasn't until this minority stood up and revolted against being labeled with such non-sense. So, how come the ADHD community is just fine being labeled with a disorder when in fact it's not? What needs to happen for people sto stand up and grab the bullhorn from the American Psychiatric Association that's been promoting this one-sided and incomplete narrative? What it's going to take is actually fairly simple. Not easy, but simple... listen in and judge for yourself.

SAY IT AIN'T SO is a short rant about my frustration with these so-called distinguished and award-winning experts who simply refuse to look under the hood when it comes to the real causes of ADHD. Children are the check engine lights of their families and experts repeatedly refuse to see what's actually going on in their environments and most of the time simply want parents to slap a band-aid on these much deeper wounds... it's the equivalent of putting a piece of masking tape over the check engine light, pretending that the engine of the car is now fine because you can't see the light anymore...

ADRIAN TURNED OUT is the heart-wrenching, thrilling and ultimately wonderful and happy-ending story of entrepreneur Adrian. He told me his story from a brutal and messy divorce when he was 5, all the way to anger, drugs, run-ins with the law, arson, jail time and more... in just 1 hour we get to witness the damage that an imbalanced and traumatic upbringing can have on a child that's diagnosed with ADHD and medicated. It's been debunked over and over that children with ADHD when not medicated will self-medicate later in life. That's simply BS. In Adrian's case as in the case of so many countless others we've interviewed, it is becoming more and more clear to us that giving a young child stimulant drugs (schedule 2) creates a gateway for them to do more drugs later in life. Listen in and judge for yourself. Get ready for lots of excitement, heart-brake, vulnerability, passion, and love!

But if we don't wanna just cope and hope that life will work out for ourselves or our children, then what do we need to do in order to thrive as individuals and as families. Listen in on this nuanced rant around coping, hoping, and thriving and see for yourself where you stand.
