Don’t let anyone tell you your adhd child tween or teen can’t . Tell them to fluff off !!!
She has ADHD. And she is standing on an Olympic podium with a medal around her neck.
Read that again.
A child with ADHD. A brain the world calls distracted.
Too much. Not focused enough. Not disciplined enough.
And yet… there she is.
Alysa Liu didn’t succeed because her ADHD disappeared. She succeeded because she learned how to work with her brain not against it.
“I have ADHD and I love situations that I’m not expecting. It gives me a dopamine rush.”
That dopamine rush? That’s the same brain chemistry your child has.
The brain that seeks novelty.
The brain that thrives under urgency.
The brain that feels everything deeply.
The brain that refuses to quit.
This is why what you say to your child matters so much.
Because when the world says
“You’re not trying hard enough.”
“You’re lazy.”
“You’re not living up to your potential.”
They start to believe it.
But when you say
“I see you.”
“I believe in you.”
“You are capable.”
Everything changes.
ADHD does not mean they can’t. It means their path will look different. And different paths slead to extraordinary places.
Your child is not a problem to fix.
They are a possibility to protect.
Never let anyone convince them otherwise.
Drop a ❤️ in honour of all our amazing adhd kids who ate simply extraordinary
