🧠✨ Looking for ways to support your child’s executive functioning skills — without the power struggles?

We love this article by OT4ADHD on using declarative language to help children with ADHD (and neurodivergent kids more broadly) develop independence, flexibility, and problem-solving skills.

Instead of telling kids what to do, declarative language models thinking aloud, encourages reflection, and builds confidence 💬🙌

A great read for parents, educators, and therapists alike!

Unlock the potential of children with ADHD by breaking free from disruptive and counterproductive constant prompting. Discover the power of declarative language in fostering executive function skills.
