Reframing ADHD 🧠

When society has told us that something can be a deficit, it can be hard to see the positive.

I saw this as an educator, where my job became to remind the children in my care that they were not broken, they were perfectly imperfect 🫶🏽

Sometimes all we need is someone to see our skills as strengths, not weakness, and to assist us to harness them. This is just as prevalent for adults as well!

Often our past stories continue to play a destructive loop in our present, and future stories. We forget that we have the power to be the author of our own stories 📚

We do not need to be a character in anyone else's!

How can we support kids to develop a growth mindset? 🤔

Growth mindset was a term developed by Carol Dweck. We know it is important to have a growth mindset, but how do we develop it?

Practising questions with your little ones is a valuable tool for our kids toolboxes, and can be done at home 🔨

Keep an eye out for our list of Growth Mindset Questions for Kids!

Which strategies do you think best support your child's needs? 🤔

Children struggle to handle their emotions in healthy ways, so it is our job to teach them strategies to help them manage their big feelings!

The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind by Daniel J. Siegel is a must read for all parents. It helps you to support, develop and encourage your child to increase the awareness, and control over their emotions.

This encourages:
🌟 Increased self-regulation
🌟 Them to identify and validate their emotions
🌟 Development of their emotional vocabulary

“When big, right-brain emotions are raging out of control help your child tell the story about what's upsetting them. In doing so, he'll use his left brain to make sense of his experience and feel more in control.” – Daniel J. Siegel

E - Empathetic Listening

An active process to try and understand what is being said 👂🏼

It involves being non-judgemental, giving undivided attention to what is being said, listening to feeling and facts, using silence and checking for understanding by restating what is being said 😁

Is this something you actively practice with your little ones?

In this vast universe, being everything to one person is a profound and beautiful thing 🌎

It's not about grand gestures or constant spotlight, but about those quiet moments of understanding, shared laughter, and unwavering support.

As parents, we know that we are our children's comfort, their joy, and their safe place. It is a privilege that outshines any acclaim 👩‍👦‍👦

It's in the small, everyday acts where we truly mean the world to someone. Let's cherish these connections that make life so incredibly rich!

Encouraging Autonomy 💪🏼

Responding to our children often sounds like: ❌
Child - "I want to be a professional soccer player."
Parent - "That is not a proper job. You should do a trade instead."

Responding to our children could sound like: ✅
Parent - "That would be fun. I can sign you up to the local club so you can work towards your goal."

With age comes experience and with experience comes knowledge. Parents are naturally built with the want to protect their children from disappointment and hurt, knowing from 'experiences' what the world can be like but sometimes that want to protect can become a limiting response to a child's hopes and dreams.

As parents, we always want to do our best and be our best for our kids, but we still need to encourage autonomy! 🫶
