TPP 039a: A Conversation with 12-year-old Asher About Goal Setting

Published: Aug. 26, 2022, 1 p.m.

b'In this special kid\\u2019s POV edition, Asher and I talk about having ADHD and goal setting, a topic near and dear to my heart, but also an issue we hear from parents about a lot. Asher is someone who always seems to have a lot of projects he\\u2019s working on and he sets often ambitious goals centered around those projects. Yet because of the way Ash is wired, he can often get distracted or derailed, which results in him being frustrated with himself.\\nI know a thing or two about goal setting \\u2014 it\\u2019s actually the topic of a book I wrote for teen girls in 2015 called Doable, and so I am committed to using what I know about goals to help Asher learn how to successfully set and reach his own goals while also developing his planning, organizational, and time management skills. If you have kids with lots of ideas for things they\\u2019d like to do but seem to get stuck before they finish, or maybe even struggle to begin in the first place, this would be a good episode to listen to with them.\\n Debbie Reber is the founder and CEO of Tilt Parenting and the host of the TiLT Parenting Podcast. 11-year-old Asher is Debbie\\u2019s child and is regularly featured on the podcast.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nThings you\\u2019ll learn from this episode\\n\\nThe connection between ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and goal planning\\n\\nAsher\\u2019s strategy for setting, measuring, and reaching goals\\n\\nHow Asher uses both daily and weekly goal planning to keep him on track\\n\\nWhat typically derails Asher when he\\u2019s pursuing a goal\\n\\nThe power of the daily check-in\\n\\nAsher\\u2019s tips for other kids looking to set and reach their personal goals\\n\\n\\xa0\\nResources mentioned for ADHD & goal setting\\n\\nDebbie\\u2019s book Doable: The Girls\\u2019 Guide to Accomplishing Just About Anything by Debbie Reber\\n\\n\\nA Conversation with 11-year-old Asher About His Game-Changing Morning Routine (podcast)\\n\\nUnderstood.org\\n\\n\\nProductivity Planner from Intelligent Change\\n\\nDownload a copy of Asher\\u2019s Goal Planning Worksheet\\n\\n\\n\\nThe Color Run (series of 5k races)\\n\\nSupport the showConnect with Tilt Parenting\\n Visit Tilt Parenting\\n Take the free 7-Day Challenge \\n Read a chapter of Differently Wired \\n Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram \\n \\nLearn more about your ad choices.
