‘Don’t label her,’ they said.

Now she cries herself to sleep, wondering why she’s too much. 💔

That’s what happens when kids grow up different but unsupported.

The world never calls it ADHD — it calls it bossy, weird, difficult.

And children believe it.

In this Quick Reset, Jane McFadden unpacks the real cost of avoiding diagnosis. Parents often fear labels, but silence does more harm. Kids who don’t get language and support end up creating their own labels: dumb, lazy, unloveable.

💬 In This Episode:

  • Why silence teaches children they’re the problem
  • How kids self-label when their struggles go unseen
  • The hidden pain of quiet, internalising ADHD kids
  • Why early diagnosis isn’t limiting — it’s liberating
  • How support changes outcomes for neurodivergent kids and families

💭 This episode is for you if:

– You’ve been told ‘don’t label your child’

– You worry a diagnosis will box them in

– You’re raising a quiet ADHD or autistic child who ‘never causes trouble’
