When kids with ADHD feel frustrated or overwhelmed, their emotions can take over fast—and hard. But what if there was a simple, science-backed way to help them shift their mindset and build emotional resilience?

This week on the ADHD Connect Podcast, I’m diving into the power of gratitude as an emotional regulation tool. This isn’t about pretending everything’s fine. It’s about helping kids find the good—even when things feel hard.

🎧 Tune in to learn:
✔ Why gratitude works for kids with ADHD
✔ How to model and teach it in everyday moments
✔ Realistic tools like gratitude jars, dinner table prompts, and more
✔ Book & journal recommendations your child might actually want to use

✨ This episode is packed with practical ideas you can start using today—at home or in the classroom.

Let’s help our kids go from “That’s not fair!” to “I’m thankful for…”—one moment at a time. 💛

Kids with ADHD often struggle with emotional regulation. That means big reactions, meltdowns, or mood swings aren’t just willful—they’re often about lagging skills.

Here’s how you can help:
✅ Stay calm and connected in the moment
✅ Teach coping strategies during non-emotional times
✅ Consider therapy (like CBT) if emotional intensity is frequent or disruptive

👉 In Episode 15 of ADHD Connect, I talk about when therapy makes sense, and how to know if it’s the right next step for your child.

✔️ Create structure and support that lasts

Everything in the store is designed to be practical, clear, and rooted in the strategies I use in my own clinical work.

🧠 “Why won’t they just DO it?”
If you’ve said this (or shouted it in your head), you’re not alone. Task completion is one of the most common challenges for kids with ADHD—and one of the most frustrating for parents and teachers.

In Episode 13 of the ADHD Connect Podcast, I break down:
✔️ The three main ways task avoidance shows up
✔️ Why your response should match how they’re struggling
✔️ Real-world strategies for getting things done—without the meltdown (yours or theirs)

🌪 Tip for Tough ADHD Moments 🌪

When your child is melting down, it’s tempting to focus on stopping the behavior right now. But here’s a quick reframe:

💡 Instead of asking, “How do I get control?”
Try asking, “How can I help my child regain control of themselves?”

This shift takes you out of a power struggle and into coaching mode—where your child can actually learn skills for calming down and regulating.

✅ Responding this way keeps the connection intact.
✅ It models the regulation you want them to build.
✅ And it helps you stay grounded in your values, even in the heat of the moment.

🌟 New Podcast Episode! 🌟

When your child is melting down, refusing to cooperate, or pushing back with big emotions, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, and even easier to react in ways you don’t feel good about later.

💡 You’ll learn:
✔️ When to give a consequence (and when it can wait)
✔️ How to shift from “control” to supporting emotional regulation
✔️ Why coaching beats correcting — especially in tough moments
✔️ How to model calm, clear leadership when emotions run high

📚 Back to School: Is It the Jitters… or Something More? 🧠

As routines settle and classrooms come alive, you might start noticing your child…

✨ Struggling to get out the door on time
✨ Forgetting homework (again)
✨ Daydreaming instead of focusing
✨ Melting down after school from sheer exhaustion
✨ Getting frequent reminders from teachers to sit still or stay quiet

These can all be typical back-to-school bumps… but they can also be early signs of ADHD.

This time of year often brings ADHD to light—not because school "causes" it, but because the demands for attention, organization, and self-regulation suddenly go way up.

💡 If you're seeing consistent struggles across settings—not just at home or school—it might be time to dig a little deeper.

You’re not alone in wondering. And wondering doesn’t mean labeling—it means understanding.

✨ Let’s replace panic with perspective.
✨ Let’s replace blame with curiosity.
✨ Let’s replace “What’s wrong?” with “What’s going on?”

Back-to-school is a perfect time to start asking the right questions—and to build the right kind of support.

I'm here to help you do just that. Use this ADHD screening tool to start: https://tishtaylor.com/add-adhd-screening-tool/

Struggling to make a reward system stick?
It might not be your child—it might just be the structure.

The key?
✔️ Be specific
✔️ Be consistent
✔️ Use rewards that actually motivate your child

💡 A reward system isn’t bribery—it’s a bridge to help kids with ADHD practice skills and feel successful.

✅ Why this approach supports emotional regulation, too
