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.
