Girls and the ADHD Label Part 3 Episode 12

Passion creates focusDr. Martin Stein, a pediatrician at UCSD, notes that girls are likely to be diagnosed with ADD later than boys, some as early as third or fourth grade, or as late as junior high.Here’s my take on what happens: year by year, girls value peer relationships more. So, many females gradually place the teacher on ignore while they wait to do something interesting with their friends. Those caught ignoring their teachers are labeled ADD, a misdiagnosis because the definition of ADD includes that the symptoms are present before the age of 7 and for most it comes later.This episode discusses: How to avoid your daughter putting you on ignore as she moves into her teen years. The three most common mistakes that parents make when supporting their children To download this episode click here

ADHD Fathers and their Family – Episode 9

The essential ingredient for those children  who often blame others for their misbehavior is for the parents to decide “Whose problem is it?” When parents step in and solve problemss for their child they communicate, “You are not capable of achieving this.” This is not very helpful to girls—and it’s devastating for boys. Which leads us to discipline. The four rules of discipline are:  Be      fun to be with and require your child to be fun to be with – no whining Avoid      disciplining in anger (If you have to, put yourself in time out before you      discipline.) Focus      on what the child can be—the greatness they have within them Don’t      ever take away their passion as punishment for any wrong decision  Download the episode here (mp3)

Motivating the Oppositional Child Part 2 Episode 8

But today we learned that the low auditory (half of the children labeled ADHD) often blame others for their misbehaviors, partly because they don’t know how to speak their heart. We learned how to teach someone to speak his heart when he doesn’t know his heart, doesn’t have the words to match his feelings and doesn’t believe he will benefit from the effort because all previous attempts have failed. You solve all those problems by providing most of the words in a structured framework that touches the essence of what the child needs to express to heal. The two tools you use are the Love Letter and Fair Fight. Eventually, the child makes these tools her own. As an added benefit you can also use these tools with your spouse.

ADHD or Active Child Episode 1: What’s ADHD

From what I can get out of it, this podcast has excellent information, so much better than hearing that my kids need to be on meds that don&#39;t really help. But it is really hard for me to pay attention throughout the podcast since it&#39;s so obvious they are reading, and either poor readers or without rehearsing beforehand.

Hard to follow

I have listened to about six of these so far and everyone makes me say, &#34;Thank you, God for allowing me to find this!&#34; I will be homeschooling my child this upcoming school year because he is an active child and is struggling in the school setting. God directed me down this path months ago and I had to have faith that He would direct me to the proper resources to best help me to help my child! Awesome!

Godsend!
