Developing Strategies for Success

If you are parenting a child with ADHD, you ultimately want your kids to be successful. But what is your definition of success? Often times, the world around us outlines what is considered being successful and especially while they are in school. The school years are probably some of the most critical years we will all experience in competing to be the top performer.

Listen to this episode of the Winning with ADHD Podcast and how Teresa is working to help her daughter Sarah realize her dreams in a learning environment. Sarah has ADHD, depression, and anxiety and has lofty dreams and goals. She works incredibly hard to do the activities she has an interest and passion in. They have learned that the structure of marching band and horse ownership/training is really helpful in keeping Sarah going to complete and submit her schoolwork. And that having a balance of activities creates the pressure Sarah needs to keep moving compared to having tons of extra time. Those with ADHD have a different relationship with time and a brain that has superb procrastination skills! Implementing a consistent routine and structure create environments for success that allow our kids to grow and develop the necessary skill sets to be successful students while learning life long skills that will be incredibly valuable as they navigate life.
