3 skills kids with ADHD need to overcome procrastination
When kids with ADHD avoid difficult work, it's easy to assume they have a "behavior problem", that they don't care, or that they're just lazy. But this couldn't be further from the truth. People with ADHD are wired in a way that makes it hard for them to overcome feelings of overwhelm that lead to avoidance. It's a skill-based issue, NOT a behavior issue!That's why in episode 031, I talk about 3 common skills kids with ADHD need to overcome procrastination.Specifically, I share:✅Why having a good sense of time is critical to motivation.✅One of the most common culprits behind anxiety, irritability, and defiant behaviors in ADHD and how to combat it. ✅The relationship between time-management and self-esteem; plus how to build both at the same time. ✅The essential habit that many people with ADHD don't have, and why it's so important for building a positive self-image. In this episode, I mentioned the Time Tracking Journal, which is a SIMPLE tool that will help you get through daily routines (like homework) with ease, without bribery, arguments, or constant hand-holding. The Time Tracking Journal walks you through a strategy you can do in just 10-15 minutes a day that will help kids get tasks done effectively and efficiently, and critical thinking skills and self-confidence at the same time.
