And that’s what we’re going to focus on in this video - how parents can be those great mechanics.

I also get overstimulated by sound, and my 7yo is very talkative. I will have to use the timer bit; What I tell them right now is “I have too many words in my head right now. Can you hold your questions?” I never make it about them - like saying “you talk too much” or anything like that.

i never knew I had ADHD all my life until now; I am 43 and I now realize why I find my now 11-year-old to be exactly the same as me;he is also having ADHD, hyperactive and impulsive while my elder one, a teen, falls into inattentive category.

How do you give equal/fair treatment when you have multiple children. When one of them has ADHD. You dont want to give a signal to the other children that the AHDH child can get "away" with not lissening or that its oke when he/she interups.
