This idea of really providing a home where they can be a full spectrum of who they are and that full spectrum is appreciated because the brain focuses on the negative.
Raising a child with ADHD can be a rollercoaster, but Dr. Sharon Saline is here to offer some practical advice that might just make the ride a bit smoother. In this episode, Dr. Saline, a clinical psychologist, breaks down her five C's essential for parenting children with ADHD: self-Control, Compassion, Collaboration, Consistency, and Celebration. These aren't just buzzwords; they are actionable strategies that can help kids thrive both at school and at home. Dr.
Saline emphasizes the importance of applying these principles regularly. For instance, fostering self-control in your child can be as simple as setting up a consistent routine. Compassion means understanding their unique challenges and celebrating even the small victories. Collaboration involves working together with your child to find solutions that work for them, while consistency ensures that these strategies become a part of everyday life. Finally, celebration reminds us to acknowledge and appreciate the progress made, no matter how small.
But it doesn’t stop there. Dr. Saline also talks about the significance of learning accommodations tailored to ADHD students. These accommodations help children focus on their strengths rather than their struggles. She suggests creating a supportive home environment where kids feel safe to express themselves and explore their interests. One crucial point Dr. Saline makes is about preventing substance use, which is a common risk for children with ADHD.
She explains that kids who feel good about themselves are less likely to engage in risky behaviors. Parents can play a significant role by appreciating their child's full spectrum of abilities and focusing on their strengths. For those eager to dive deeper, Dr. Saline’s book, 'What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew: Working Together to Empower Kids for Success in School and Life', offers more detailed guidance and is available at local bookstores or online.
This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for parents and caregivers looking to empower their children with ADHD. Whether you're new to this journey or seeking new strategies, Dr. Saline’s expertise can provide the support you need.
