Using Positive Emotion to Accomplish More with ADHD

To accomplish tasks, generate positive emotions by making them more fun, challenging, or social. This could involve working in a coffee shop, collaborating with friends, setting time challenges, or listening to music while doing chores. For neurotypical parents or partners, encourage those with ADHD by making them think it's their idea and then reinforcing the accomplishment with positive emotions. It's important to provide less nagging and more nurturing as ADHD individuals hear 20,000 more negative messages than neurotypical individuals by the age of 10, affecting their self-worth. Positive emotion yields better results.
