🚫 MYTH: ADHD is Just an Excuse for Laziness 🚫

FACT: ADHD is NOT about being lazy! 🧠💥 It's a genuine brain-based disorder involving the chemical dynamics of the brain, particularly affecting focus, impulse control, and executive functioning. It's not something individuals can just "try harder" to overcome. 🚫💤

People with ADHD struggle with tasks not because they lack willpower or motivation, but because their brains process information differently. These challenges are not under voluntary control, making it crucial to approach ADHD with understanding and support rather than judgment. 🤝💖

Let's move away from stereotypes and misconceptions to create a more informed and compassionate world for those with ADHD. 🌟

According to the CDC, 14.5% of boys and 8.0% of girls between the ages of 5–17 were diagnosed with ADHD between 2020–2022.

🚫 MYTH: Only Boys Have ADHD 🚫

FACT: Boys are diagnosed with ADHD two to three times more often than girls, but that doesn't mean it's just a "boys' condition." 🧑‍🦱👩 According to the CDC, 14.5% of boys and 8.0% of girls between the ages of 5–17 were diagnosed with ADHD between 2020–2022.🌟

ADHD can present differently in girls, often leading to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis. While boys may show more hyperactive and impulsive symptoms, girls often display inattentiveness, daydreaming, or internalizing behaviors that are less obvious. This makes it crucial to recognize and understand the varied ways ADHD can manifest, regardless of gender. 🧠💡

Awareness and proper identification are key to ensuring all children receive the support and care they need. 💖

🚫 MYTH BUSTER: ADHD is Caused by Bad Parenting 🚫

Let's set the record straight—ADHD is NOT caused by bad parenting! 🙅‍♀️ ADHD is a highly genetic and brain-based disorder, meaning it stems from differences in brain structure and function, not from how a child is raised. 🧠🔬

Parenting a child with ADHD comes with unique challenges, but it's crucial to understand that ADHD is nobody's fault. Instead, it's a condition that requires understanding, support, and proper management.

💬 “Kindness counts louder than insults ever could.”

October is National Bullying Prevention Month — a call to raise kind kids who speak up, not stand by.

💡 Teach your child:
– Their voice has power.
– Their words can heal.
– Their kindness can ripple.

Every child deserves to feel safe, accepted, and seen — at school, online, and everywhere in between. 💙 Let’s build a world where empathy is taught as early as the ABCs.

Parents with Newborns 😴 Sweet dreams start with safe sleep.

October is Safe Sleep & SIDS Awareness Month — a reminder that small habits make big differences.

💤 Always place your baby on their back to sleep
🍼 Keep the crib bare — no pillows, toys, or bumpers
🌡️ Maintain a comfortable room temperature
👶 And share your room, not your bed.

Every safe sleep makes tomorrow possible.
💙 Learn more about safe sleep practices at InTouch Pediatrics — because peace of mind should come standard with bedtime.

🚀 “ADHD isn’t about being lazy — it’s about being wired differently.”

October is ADHD Awareness Month — a time to replace myths with understanding.

Kids with ADHD aren’t “unfocused”; they’re often focused on everything at once.

With the right support, structure, and strategies, kids can learn to channel their creativity, energy, and brilliance. ✨

ADHD isn’t a limitation — it’s a different operating system.

👩‍⚕️ At InTouch Pediatrics, we help parents recognize early signs, manage challenges, and build a plan that works for your child. Let’s help every kid reach their potential — one focus shift at a time.

🩵 Pouch of Positivity 🩵

What’s in your kid’s pouch today?
What’s in yours?

We fill lunchboxes, backpacks, and snack bags every day — but how often do we fill their hearts?

✨ Slip in a few invisible words:

💚 You are brave.
💚 You are kind.
💚 You are loved.
💚 You can try again.
You matter.

Kids carry those messages long after the snacks are gone.
And parents — don’t forget to refill your pouch too.
Because grown-ups need reminders like:

🌟 I’m doing my best.
🌟 God’s got this.
🌟I can find joy, even in the chaos.
🌟 My patience is growing (slowly, but it’s growing 😅).

Our words have power — to heal, to lift, to restore hope.
Let’s pack positivity with the peanut butter today. 🥪💖

Some days our kids feel like superheroes. Other days… like the cape’s in the laundry. 🦸‍♀️🧦

At InTouch Pediatrics, we remind families that every feeling has a purpose.
Joy, frustration, excitement, or “meh” — it’s all part of learning emotional resilience. 💪

👉 Parents, this one’s for you too.
Your kids are watching how you handle your feelings — the deep breaths, the prayers, the “I survived today” moments. That’s how they learn to bounce back.

So tell us below 👇

💪 “I Survived Today.”

Some days, that’s the biggest win of all.

Between tests, meltdowns, and “Mom, I can’t find my shoes”—getting through the day counts as real resilience.

At InTouch Pediatrics, we remind our families that resilience isn’t about never struggling. It’s about bouncing back, showing up, and trying again tomorrow. 💫

For kids, that looks like learning to breathe through frustration, try a new skill, or face a tough day at school.
For parents, it’s giving yourself grace when the to-do list wins again.

And faith? That’s the quiet voice reminding us,

“You did it. You’re still standing. And you’re not alone.” 🙏

Here’s to the little victories, the messy moments, and the beautiful bounce-back that happens when we choose hope over hurry. 💖

🌿 Coming Soon: Integrative Pediatrics at InTouch Pediatrics (2026!)

We’re expanding care in a big way — because your child deserves a whole-body approach to wellness. 💚

✨ What is Integrative Pediatrics?
It’s the best of modern medicine + functional, holistic care.
Think of it as pediatric care that doesn’t just treat symptoms — it searches for the why.

💡 We’ll look deeper into how your child’s gut, brain, immune system, and hormones all connect. From ADHD and anxiety to frequent stomach aches and sleep issues — we’ll uncover what’s really driving your child’s health concerns.

🏥 Why It Matters:
Integrative care gives families tools that go beyond prescriptions — using nutrition, lifestyle, labs, and natural therapies that help your child thrive instead of just “get by.”

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why Ask About It Now:
As we prepare to launch our Integrative Services in 2026, your provider can help you get a head start:
✅ Track patterns that might point to gut or immune imbalances
✅ Discuss functional labs
✅ Explore gentle nutrition changes that support focus, mood, and energy

Because wellness starts before symptoms — and prevention is powerful. 🌱
