Memorable Moments:

\u201cIf these kids could do well, they would. If they can, they will.\u201d

\u201dLook at the behavior differently.\u201d

\u201cFor kids specifically with ADHD, we know their nervous system is really hyper-sensitive.\u201d

\u201cOur child often can\u2019t control what they\u2019re doing.\u201d

\u201dThe aim of that is to simply leave your child with the experience of feeling seen, heard, soothed, validated, and just acknowledged for all parts of themselves.\u201d

\u201dWe are actually the container for our child\u2019s nervous system.\u201d

\u201dWhen our mindset shifts, that\u2019s going to guide our actions, and it\u2019s going to guide how we approach it.\u201d

\u201dChildren learn about their experience of the world through our experience of what we think their experience of the world is.\u201d

\u201dPlay is one way that children actually soothe their nervous system.\u201d

\u201cIf we can ground ourselves in compassion and empathy, that\u2019s going to drive how we respond or react in those meltdowns.\u201d

\u201dIf you feel like you\u2019re running out of resource, it\u2019s okay to take a break.\u201d

\u201dBe your child\u2019s external regulator. When they can\u2019t regulate themselves, we know from neuroscience, they need to borrow your nervous system in that moment. So if you can stay present, they\u2019re going to use your breath, your heart rate, your tone of voice to calm themselves. And that\u2019s going to help them feel safe and that\u2019s going to decrease the fight or flight.\u201d
