💬 “When you yell, I feel even worse about myself.”

Kids with ADHD often hear constant correction at home, in school, and in public. Over time, this can lead them to believe they’re “bad” or broken.

They may forget your words, but they won’t forget how you made them feel.

✨ Try gentle redirection instead: “𝘓𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘵” instead of “𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨!”

At 𝗠𝗟𝗔 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, we help families respond with calm, compassion, and confidence.

💬 “I want to do well, but sometimes I don’t know how.”

Kids with ADHD often want to follow instructions, but their brains can get in the way. They might forget steps, get distracted, or feel overwhelmed by too many choices.

Instead of seeing defiance, see a skill gap.

✨ Try:
✔️ Breaking tasks into small steps
✔️ Using visual checklists or timers
✔️ Saying, “First brush teeth, then story time.”

These small adjustments make a big difference.

Some kids act out, but often, it’s their way of saying, “I’m struggling.”

Challenging behaviors can sometimes be signs of deeper issues like:

- ADHD – Trouble sitting still, focusing, or controlling impulses.
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – Coping with sensory overload, communication challenges, or routine changes.
- Anxiety – Meltdowns, school refusal, or extreme clinginess driven by fear or worry.
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) – Intense defiance and anger, often due to emotional regulation struggles.
- Trauma or Attachment Issues – Past trauma can trigger emotional outbursts or trust issues.

If these behaviors feel like more than “just a phase,” support is available. Early help can make a big difference.
