ADHD and Minding Your Manners

In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Ari Tuckman  (http://adultADHDbook.com) about the byproduct of holding a chair for a woman to sit, minding your elders, waiting to eat until everyone at the table is seated, and waiting your turn, all as behavioral and attention exercises that help those with ADHD build self-regulation skills.

The Trick of Going to Sleep for Those with ADHD


When it comes to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, going to sleep is a challenge for many, and the theories in books focus on sleep hygiene.

ADHD Kids: Using Art to Manage Emotional Self-Regulation


Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is more about self-regulation than it is about a deficit of attention. Attention and emotion both are things that need to be regulated. For many kids with ADHD, emotional self-regulation is more challenging. They seem to be unable to cope or ready to explode on a daily basis. Parents want to help their child with ADHD learn to control emotions and boost self-esteem, but they often wonder how to help their child. What if art could help the child learn to manage his emotions when he is a firecracker about to explode? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, guest host Caroline Maguire (http://www.necoaching.com) interviews Holly Oberacker and Tracey Bromley Goodwin, partners in Navigating ADHD (http://www.navigatingadhd.com), about using art as a means to help kids down-regulate their emotions and channel their frustrations. If your child struggles with emotional self-regulation this is a show you won’t want to miss.
