"How many times do I have to remind you...?"
"If you'd just focus, you could finish this homework in minutes instead of hours!"
"Just try harder!"
Do you find yourself saying these sorts of things to your child?
ADHD is often misunderstood, mistreated, and mislabeled.
In truth, it is a trait, not a disorder, and when it's understood and managed well, it can enrich ones life tremendously.
Dr. Ned Hallowell refers to ADHD as the "Entrepreneurial Trait" because it is a characteristic of many of the world's most successful people, including Nobel prize winners, world class athletes, and trail-blazing CEO's.
But being highly distractible, disorganized, and impulsive can make life difficult, both for children and adolescents with ADHD, and for their parents.
In this Master Class, parents will learn how to help their children work with their "Ferrari brain" so that they can unleash their gifts and talents in an atmosphere of positivity, rather than one of endless frustration, disappointment, and failure.
Learn what research is illuminating about how to maximize the gifts and benefits of ADHD. I hope you'll join us!
