ADHD affects both children and adults and seems to be on the rise. The symptoms can be debilitating and frustrating but can be alleviated through changes in lifestyle. Unfortunately, this takes time and patience which is something we all seem to struggle with, in today’s society.
Learning how to speak up for adults with ADHD is a complex issue. It can due to expressive language issues, but also be due to the fear of being judged by others. We have so many great ideas and solutions to problems, it’s now more important than ever, that we voice our opinions in whatever shape or form we can.
Learning how to self-regulate our emotions is an essential life skill especially for children with ADHD. Children with ADHD often have a hard time self-regulating where emotions can range in frequency and change rapidly which can largely be due to frustration. But there are ways we can help children with ADHD develop skills to help them self-regulate that they can then use for life.
