The Soaring Child Podcast - ADHD Superpowers with April Tierney

Tune in to the Soaring Child Podcast at any of the following links:

There are hidden advantages of ADHD, and it’s a subject most people don’t talk about. On this week’s episode of Soaring Child, we connect with April Tierney, a lifelong educator who specializes in teaching students with ADHD. April shares how kids with ADHD can embrace their superpowers and do better at school.

April cites eight superpowers of ADHD, which include high physical, mental, and verbal energy, as well as huge amounts of creativity. Many ADHD kids are wonderful artists, musicians, gamers, and comedians. People with ADHD are three times more likely to start their own business, and many have a heightened sense of adventure.

Other ADHD superpowers are multitasking and being empathetic, which makes some ADHD children pursue helping professions. But perhaps the biggest superpower is hyper focus, the ability to focus on something really hard for a long time.

So how do parents help their kids to use their superpowers for good? Pay attention to your child’s interests and try new things, offering your child different choices to see what they really like to do. Integrate things they enjoy into everyday tasks like schoolwork. Be sure to incorporate movement into learning or habit reinforcement.

If you can get your child involved in the task or subject you’re teaching with something they already love, that’s going to go a long way.
