Ep #6: Your expectations for ADHD child

Raising a child who has been diagnosed with ADHD requires a mind shift. If you have the same expectations for your ADHD as you do for your other child you are setting yourself up for failure. It’s normal to want your ADHD child to act, think, and behave a certain way, but the truth is they won’t. That disconnect between how you want them to act and how they act is where that isolation, frustration, and exhaustion starts. By focusing on helping your child move forward and improve where they’re at, is meeting them at their level. As you believe in them and meet them where they are at, you are giving your child the tools they need to be successful. They will feel less judged and less pressure to be something they’re not. Changing the expectations for ADHD child will be one of the best things you can do.
