The human brain loves to have successes and it also hates failure. After we processed it, you said it wasn't as hard as you thought and you in fact had a little more ability than you thought you had and you liked it when we read every other page.
Ever felt the frustration of hearing 'It’s too hard!' or 'I finished it in school' only to find out it wasn’t true? Dr. David Pomeroy's podcast 'ADHD Unpacked' tackles these all-too-common struggles for parents and teachers of children with ADHD. In this episode, Dr. Jerome Schultz, a neuropsychologist with nearly four decades of experience, shares practical strategies to turn repeated academic failures into successes—without relying on screen time as a motivator. Dr.
Schultz dives into why kids with ADHD often evade homework and dislike school, revealing the brain differences that set them up for these challenges. He introduces a simple yet effective technique that, with effort and practice, can help your child develop a Growth Mindset. This method is detailed in his book 'Nowhere to Hide: Why Kids with ADHD & LD Hate School and What We Can Do About It'.
The episode also touches on the significance of intrinsic motivation over extrinsic rewards. Dr. Schultz explains why traditional reward systems might not work for every child and how small successes can shift a fixed mindset. Additionally, he discusses Oppositional Defiant Disorder and its connection to ADHD, providing a comprehensive look at the various factors at play. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or someone looking to better understand ADHD, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice.
Tune in to learn how to support your ADHD child in achieving academic success and fostering a positive outlook on learning.
