from Shining With ADHD by The Childhood Collective · host The Childhood Collective
We know what it’s like to send our kids upstairs to get ready for school, and twenty minutes later, while they have built a pretty cool fort, they are still in their pajamas. This can be SO frustrating, especially during *those* times of the day (think: the morning rush, delayed bedtime, and homework battles). These challenges are common for kids with ADHD, and it all stems from delayed executive function skills. Join us as we unpack what the executive functions are, why this area affects kids with ADHD, and what you can do to help.MEET OUR TEAMWe are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. We’ve spent decades supporting thousands of families navigating ADHD. And we’re also moms: some of us raising kids with ADHD and some of us navigating it ourselves… which means we understand both the science and the real-life moments that don’t make it into textbooks.LINKS + RESOURCESFree Guide: 6 Key to Raising a Happy and Independent Child with ADHDThe Childhood Collective InstagramHave a question or want to share some thoughts?
