Manage episode 519049783 series 3502891
Ever been told your child has “mild ADHD”? In this episode, we’ll talk about why no ADHD is ever “a little” and how understanding it early can change everything. You’ll hear how small shifts in awareness and support can help your child feel more capable and connected. Tune in to discover a new way to see and support your child’s unique brain.
What to expect in this episode:
- Why “mild to moderate ADHD” can be as misleading as being “a little bit pregnant”
- How gifted kids can mask ADHD challenges until they suddenly hit a wall
- The real hallmark of ADHD: inconsistency across settings and tasks
- What happens when ADHD goes untreated and starts to snowball into anxiety or burnout
- Why managing ADHD means engaging the brain, not just taking medication
