Disciplining a Child With ADHD?

By totallyaddauthor

So, unless this is your first day on the Internet, you’ve doubtless heard the story of the ADHD boy in Kentucky who was handcuffed by a Sheriff’s Deputy because he was acting out. No self-discipline, unlike the Deputy. And just to prove justice is blind, the Deputy also handcuffed a 9 year old girl with ADHD.

When Should I Buy Tickets to an Event?

By totallyaddauthor

BY RICK GREEN

Repulse that Impulse!

By Alan Brown, Entrepreneur and ADHD Coach

We ADDers are the perfect consumers. Um, from the retailers’ perspective, that is. Think about the two oldest sales tricks in the book used by retailers to get us to “Buy NOW!” A.K.A., the old “Better-get-it-now-or-you’ll-be-miserable-cuz-you-blew-this-opportunity”, or, “You’ll-never-really-have-to-pay-us-so-go-ahead-and-mortgage-your-home!”

I’m Struggling And I Don’t Know Why

By Ava Green

If there’s one big theme to the mail we receive, it’s “I’m struggling and I don’t know why”. When I look at the many ways this feeling is expressed, there seems to be a pervasive and common experience of feeling alone, misunderstood and having unique problems—even though we may be surrounded by people, at work, in the grocery store, wherever we go. If this feels all too familiar…
