If you’re someone who easily estimates how long things will take so you can plan ahead, it’s often frustrating when you see other people dawdling or not using their time wisely. But often there are MULTIPLE things going on in their head that are keeping them stuck, and the key to helping them move forward is to be able to “sense time” more consciously and understand the end goal looks and feels like. That’s why in this conversation, Mike shares: ✅Tips for helping kids with ADHD develop a sense of time so they can reduce overwhelm and procrastination. ✅How incorporating visuals in to your day-to-day routines with your kids can improve their time-management skills and discipline. ✅Why motivation issues in kids with ADHD are skill-based and not behavior based, and what specific skills can help move them through daily tasks more easily. ✅The impact of technology, gaming, and social media on attention span and social-emotional development; and his recommendations for setting healthy boundaries. If you have a child at home who has a hard time putting their devices down to do non-preferred tasks like homework or chores, you’ll get a ton of value from this interview. The following resources are mentioned in this interview (some are mentioned in episode 008, which is the first half of this conversation, but I’m linking to them again for your convenience): For information on nonverbal working memory, check out Dr. Russell Barkley’s website here.
