ADHD: Career Counseling During a Gap Year

Those with ADHD don't have neurotypical brains. It stands to reason, that if their brain isn't typical, then finding a career might not work the typical way. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) interviews Tom Bergeron of Inventive Labs (www.inventivelabs.org) about the idea of taking a gap year in college and taking a deep dive into finding a career that would set you up for success.

ADHD Parenting: Collaborative Conversations with ADHD Kids

If you read most of the theories on parenting kids with ADHD, many of them come down to the collaborative conversation. It's easy to define, easy to discuss, but very difficult to execute. In this episode, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) interviews parent advisor and coach Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com) around the challenges of executing collaborative conversations with complex kids. Most theorists explain it and assume that parents will execute it on their own. Jeff and Elaine talk about the value of getting some help with it. After all, complex kids are outliers; they're not mainstream. How to have that conversation is as unique as the individual in the family. If you're an ADHD parent and are frustrated, this is a show you won't want to miss.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with ADHD.

ADHD Parenting: The Mindset You Need

Parenting of ADHD and complex kids is difficult. Why? Because, they're complicated.  Really complicated. Tips, tricks, strategies, and systems often work for neurotypicals, but do they work for complex kids? As much as we want them to, they don't.  So what is a parent to do? It comes down to problem-solving. In this episode ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) interviews parent coach and advisor Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com). Elaine shares what she knows that most ADHD parents don't… that it’s all about the problem-solving process and the mindset for solving problems as a process. If you are an ADHD parent drowning in a sea  of strategies and solutions that are simply not working, this might not be a topic you want to hear, but it is a topic you need to hear.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with ADHD.
