When a child with ADHD melts down or ignores directions, it’s easy to assume defiance. But often, the truth is simpler: they are overwhelmed.

"Children with ADHD are not disobedient, they are overwhelmed." – Ari Tuckman

Your child’s behavior is communication.

Kids forget directions quickly because their working memory is still developing. It is not disrespect. It is overload. And honestly, adults experience this too.

I leave my lunch bag out every weekday so I do not forget to pack it. My morning mind is focused on getting out the door. The cue helps me succeed. I am not clueless. Sometimes I am just cue-less.

Kids need the same kind of support.

Try this today:
• Give one step at a time
• Ask for repeat back
• Use a small visual where your child needs it

Join me on December 16 for my live webinar Anchor Your Year 2026 if you want more tools like these.

Have you ever wondered why your child can’t seem to plan ahead, remember what you just told them, or keep track of assignments? These struggles are often about executive skills, the brain’s management system.

"Executive skills are the air traffic control system of the brain." – Peg Dawson & Richard Guare

Understanding this is key to supporting your child.

Sometimes it’s the smallest wins that mean the most: getting shoes on the right feet, finishing homework after three reminders, or simply sitting through dinner. These moments are victories for children with ADHD.

"For children with ADHD, the smallest successes are often the most important." – Ned Hallowell

Celebrate the little things. They are the foundation of growth.

If your child struggles to start tasks, you are not alone. Many kids freeze when something feels big or unclear. Starting is a skill, and it grows with support.

Try the 5 minute start:
• Pick one small step
• Set a 5 minute timer
• Sit nearby
• Stop when the timer ends

Kids begin to trust that starting is safe and doable. Small starts become big confidence builders.

Have you ever thought, “My child knows the rules, so why can’t they just follow them?” ADHD is often not about intelligence or effort. It’s about difficulty turning knowing into doing.

"ADHD is not a disorder of knowing what to do, but of doing what one knows." – Thomas E. Brown

Awareness is the first step to change.

Parenting a child with ADHD often feels like reminding them of the same thing a hundred times. It’s not that they don’t know what to do. The challenge is in putting that knowledge into action.

"ADHD is not a problem of knowing what to do, it is a problem of doing what you know." – Russell Barkley

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Many families experience this daily and wonder if it’s just “behavior” or something deeper.

Gratitude is one of the strongest anchors we have.
Today, we pause to honor the families we serve, the children who teach us resilience and curiosity, and the parents who show up with courage and love — even on the hard days.

At Anchored Pediatric Mental Health, we are grateful for:
• The trust families place in us
• The opportunity to support neurodiverse children
• The privilege of helping parents build connection, confidence, and clarity
• The hope that even small shifts can shape a family’s journey in meaningful ways

As you gather today — whether around a full table, a quiet moment, or a day of rest — may you feel grounded, present, and connected to what matters most.

From our Anchored family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.
May your day be filled with warmth, gratitude, and moments of peace.
