Figuring out how to make laundry less overwhelming can feel so overwhelming, but you're not alone! Check out these 5 Fresh Tips to help make your laundry overwhelm less overwhelming with professional organizer Lindsey Mahanna.You can learn more about Lindsey Mahanna on her Fresh Starts Profile.5 Fresh Tips to help you be less overwhelmed with laundry:Figure out the best cadence for your family. One load per day or a marathon session over the weekend? I like the one-load-per-day approach. Throw it in before work, move it to the dryer later in the day, and fold it later that evening or the next morning - whenever you have the most energy.Try laying flat instead of folding. Trying to keep wrinkles at bay, but don't have time to fold? My husband brought this laundry trick to the relationship and it's a keeper. When those t-shirts come out of the dryer still hot, lay them flat on a surface and pile them up on top of one another. This will keep the wrinkles out until you have time to fold them. Just be careful because cats are drawn to a pile of warm clothes.Wash each person's clothes separately. The old guidance was that clothes must be sorted into lights and darks before washing. This guidance can be ignored, except for brand-new dye-heavy clothes (those should still be washed separately at first). Since you don't need to sort by color, I recommend washing each family member's clothes separately - especially children's. This makes it so much easier to keep track of whose clothes are whose. This also works well with tip #4…Get Kids Involved. Start when they are little by having them turn their clothes right side out. Then, as they get older, add in folding their clothes. Eventually teach them how to work the washing machine and dryer. Tips for kids with ADHD: Kids with ADHD like to know what is expected of them. So, try to have their laundry day be the same day every week. In my house, kids' clothes are washed on Fridays or Saturdays so that they can help with it while off from school and so that they can “fold” it in front of the TV. Also, review what really needs to be folded. Laundry is one of the most dreaded tasks for people with ADHD. I see it across all of my clientele. This is when it's helpful to change the expectations a bit. For my son who lives mostly in athletic gear, I only ask him to fold his t-shirts and match up his socks. Everything else can be tossed in the drawers. Does his folding look anything like mine? No, but as long as he's comfortable wearing those clothes, that's fine with me.Change your expectations for family members with ADHD, even the adults. People with ADHD really struggle with putting clothes away. So...Don't! Leave them in the basket. However, you will need to set up a system to make sure you know which clothes are clean and which aren't, especially since clothes may not always get folded. I recommend keeping clean clothes in laundry baskets and keeping dirty clothes in hampers. Bonus Tip: If you are really behind in laundry - outsource it! If money is tight, dropping it at a laundromat is cheaper than door-to-door service. Also, you could always choose to outsource some and not all of your laundry.
Could working with animals be the key to helping children with ADHD regulate their emotions and build confidence? In this episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay explores the transformative world of equine-assisted therapy. She's joined by Caz Pringle-Bowden, a yoga facilitator, counselor, and equine therapy expert who has worked with hundreds of neurodivergent children. Caz shares how horses offer a unique form of emotional and nervous system regulation, helping children develop focus, self-awareness, and trust in ways that traditional therapies often cannot. Beyond the horse paddock, Caz also teaches yoga and boxing to youth in juvenile detention and designs neurodiversity training for educators. As a neurodivergent woman herself, she brings a deeply personal perspective to her work. In this conversation, she explains why horses have a profound impact on children with ADHD, how parents can incorporate similar strategies at home, and why rethinking the narrative around ADHD is essential for supporting neurodivergent kids.

They have thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences, and another system just like ours." "It is an absolutely powerful and helpful alternative to clinical interventions that works for people that may not be able to sit down in a chair and talk to someone." "They can hear a heartbeat from up to 10 meters away. So, heart rate variability—if we are excited or nervous, they're going to hear that." "You cannot lie to a horse." "By working with a horse, we're actually working with new stories, new stories of hope, resilience, and capacity to counteract those negative stories that that child might have heard." "When someone is regulated and they're okay, the horse gives trust, and when a horse gives trust, it is real—very, very real." "It's just 10% of the time that the teachers see it, and they judge me for it. And they only know that 10% of me. They know 10%. They don't know the other 90. They're not even interested." "If we think—if we have the thought in our head—that our kid is trying all the time to regulate themselves, and they don't know how… they are trying."

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
When we see our kids struggling in school, it's normal for us parents to feel a mix of frustration, concern, and even helplessness. We want to step in and fix things right away, but it can be hard to know where to start or what will truly help, especially if our kids are diagnosed with ADHD. Their challenges with focus, attention, and organization can make everyday tasks feel like battles, and it's easy to feel like nothing we try is working. However, there are ways to support them effectively, and understanding their unique needs is the first step toward finding the right solution. In this episode, we'll talk about whether or not neurofeedback can help children with ADHD do better in school. We'll explore how this brain-training technology works, its potential long-term benefits, and how it specifically addresses the common challenges kids with ADHD face.For more information, check out the following:● https://drroseann.com/subject/neurofeedback/ ● https://drroseann.com/adhd-add-treatment/

Have you ever wondered what could be lurking in your home, affecting your family's health without you even knowing? In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, special guest Wendy Berndt shares her incredible journey with finding mold in her home: the initial signs that made her suspect mold, the health issues her kids faced, and the tough journey of getting medical professionals to see the link between mold and health problems.

It definitely has so much impact on the body and when you start digging in, you don't know that at first. I mean, I've learned so many things along the way just by making mistakes.” ”I saw all my kids' symptoms - and my own - just increase like crazy. It was ten fold. It was this giant dose of mold, and I could just clearly see what was impacting them…it made me a huge believer.” ”It was a very different range of symptoms for each one of us and so it was hard to pinpoint exactly, ‘Oh, I think our house is making us sick.” ”The professionals that we're going to, they don't always know everything.” ”Trust your instincts. You know yourself best. You know your children best.” ”If somebody says to investigate mold, you have to do it. Don't wait like I did because I would have found out sooner!” ”If you're suspecting that mold might be an issue, get a test done…Not all tests are made equal.” ”Your body will heal.

Description: Grounding: could it be the missing piece in your child's ADHD management? Find out in this episode of the Soaring Child podcast with guest Lauren Connolly. Connolly is an artist whose life work is a testament to the tranquil power of connecting with nature and expressing oneself through art.

The more you do these things, the more you're going to train your brain and be in touch with your brain.” ”We've got nature journaling, deep breathing, mindfulness, meditation, sensory grounding, forest bathing, play and exercise, and water coloring.” ”You're just literally mindfully experiencing the forest, so you're standing out in the forest, bathing in the atmosphere, taking a slow, deliberate walk. This isn't hiking. This isn't like getting to a destination. This is simply just being in the forest and engaging with the senses, the sights, the sounds, the smells. It's not a physical exercise. It's about connecting with nature and promoting relaxation and stress reduction.” ”There's so many scientific studies that suggest that it reduces stress, improves mood, it lowers your heart rate…” ”Even just listening to the sounds of the forest can help you when you can't get out or looking at a picture of nature…Sometimes we have to find creative ways to get grounded when we can't go outside and enjoy nature.” ”The most important benefits that come across through grounding is the reduced stress and anxiety…It also helps with muscle relaxation and also helping to cope with overwhelm…It can improve focus and concentration…You also have enhanced emotional regulation…You have better sleep quality…You have increased self-esteem…” ”Start small. Take baby steps…Be forgiving with yourself.” ”Having that schedule really helps and scheduling that time to do something grounding every day.” How to Connect with Lauren Connelly Website: https://wilddevelopmentsstudio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wilddevelopmentsstudio/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LaurenConnollyPhotography Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@wilddevelopmentsstudio Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-connolly-1abb072aa/ Podcast: https://wilddevelopmentsstudio.com/podcast Dana Kay Resources:

My guest is Krissy Pozatek, MSW, a seasoned parent coach and author of the landmark book The Parallel Process. Krissy will discuss the concept of balanced parenting and share her expertise on how parents can grow alongside their struggling adolescents or young adults, particularly those with ADHD. We delve into the pitfalls of enmeshed parenting, where parents often take over their children's responsibilities, leading to codependency and apathy. Chrissy explains how balanced parenting, with healthy emotional boundaries, can help children develop essential life skills and self-regulation. Chrissy also introduces four key principles for effective parenting: maintaining parental authority, emotional attunement, holding behavioral boundaries, and valuing struggle. These principles can transform the home environment, promoting a child's independence and self-esteem. Additionally, Chrissy shares her experiences from wilderness therapy programs and offers guidance on when such interventions might be necessary. She emphasizes the importance of integrating these changes back into the home for lasting impact.

Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) represents a significant yet frequently overlooked challenge experienced by many children, especially those with neurodivergent conditions like ADHD. As it often flies under the radar, it may lead parents, educators, and even mental health professionals to overlook its presence, resulting in undiagnosed or untreated emotional distress in affected children. It is therefore crucial for parents to adapt their parenting approach and provide coping mechanisms suited to the unique needs of these children, rather than relying solely on discipline to alleviate their reactivity.

Stop doing everything for your kids! (I'm guilty too). Sometimes as parents we become overwhelmed and drained, as we do so much for our kids. Parenting is a full time job, right? Leslie Josel gets this - and she came on the podcast today to share what she knows works for parents and kids (esp those with ADHD as that's her jam).Leslie Josel is the founder of Order Out Of Chaos, an award-winning business that supports parents and kids with executive function (planning, organising, time management) challenges. We spoke about why asking questions is the key to developing problem-solving skills, and the importance of NOT answering a "question" when one was really not asked! Also how to eliminate the annoying reminders we have to give our kids every day, and what to do instead.

The number one concern I hear from parents is that their child or teen or young adult doesn't have friends. That is by far the primary reason parents enroll their kiddos in my program. The second most common observation parents share with me is that their kiddo doesn't get social clues and cues. They are socially naive, confused, overwhelmed or frustrated. In this week's podcast/YouTube episode, I'm sharing all the things I teach in the second module of my program here at Starfish Social Club. This module is called 'Awareness', and it focuses on helping students not only build their awareness of the social world, but also learn what to do with the information they are noticing. Here's a clip from the episode: One of the big concerns that people have about kiddos with social learning challenges is that they don't pick up on social clues or cues. They don't recognize them. And I have found, and I believe, that that's not always what's happening. I find that my kids do recognize social clues and cues, but they don't know what to do with that information. So if I asked students, you know, 'What are some signs that somebody's not interested in what you're talking about?' Or, 'What are some signs that you've said something that somebody else doesn't like, or that you're bothering somebody else?' Most of the time the kids are aware of that. They know what the clues and cues are. Where they get stuck sometimes is knowing what to do when that happens. And I think it's because when we make a plan to do something or to talk about something and it doesn't work out the way we expected it to, we don't always know what else to do. So I call this making a plan B. This is what I thought was going to happen and I don't know what else to do. On a personal note: I often overemphasize social cues when I'm working with my students, especially when they are first learning. This helps things be more obvious to them. It's one of the reasons our kids tend to like animated movies and shows so much; everything is overemphasized. They don't have to try to figure out how someone is feeling when that character's eyes are bugging out of their head and their jaw is hanging open!
Traditional parenting methods don't often work for children with ADHD. Have you ever asked either of these questions: Why don't consequences work with some children? What can parents do instead of these traditional methods that don't work? Kim Hopkins is an independently licensed clinical social worker who has specialized in working with behavioral challenged kids for more than 25 years. She has managed the clinical departments of two organizations serving youth and families in residential facilities, foster homes, therapeutic day schools, and homeless shelters. She has been a Collaborative and Proactive Solutions, which is CPS for short, trainer since 2007, helping schools, residentials, hospitals, and parents to successfully implement the CPS model from Dr. Ross Greene. Kim is also the director of outreach and communication for Dr. Ross Greene's nonprofit, Lives in the Balance. In this episode, Kim shares tips about how to parent children with ADHD using the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions Model developed by Dr. Ross Greene. Key Takeaways: [4:09] Why do some kids struggle more than others? [6:10] Why do consequences often NOT work, and what can parents use instead? [9:24] The first step in teaching kids lacking skills [12:55] What parents can do in the heat of the moment (An Explanation of Plan A, B, & C of the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions Model) [16:43] Summary of Plans A, B, & C [17:48] The 3 steps in Plan B [19:13] How long this system takes for families to incorporate [22:56] Resources to help families begin using the CPS Model [24:46] How Kim got started using the CPS Model [26:39] Kim's top tip for parents Memorable Moments: “Kids who exhibit behavior in the face of problems and frustrations do so because they lack the skills not to. This is a skills deficit situation. A lot of traditional parenting techniques talk about it as being a motivation deficit situation. We don't believe that at all.” ”They [consequences] don't get the job done because they're not doing anything to address skills.” “You can observe their feelings. You can observe their behavior. But it's their thought process that if you had a little glance into would really position you to better help them.” “Pouring on empathy…can really help bring a kid back to baseline.” “The durable, problem-solving, skills-teaching piece happens only proactively.” “Nothing good happens in the heat of the moment. So…let's avoid you even getting there.” ”Step 1 is where you have the empathy step…Step 2 is the define the adult concern step…Step 3 is the invitation step where we're going to invite the kid to consider possible solutions with us that address what they told us in the first step and what we said in the second step.” “A good solution meets two criteria: it's got to be realistic…and it's got to be mutually satisfactory.” “Tune out the noise of all the pressure that people are putting on you….You know your child.” How to Connect with Kim Hopkins-Betts: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/livesinthebalance Website: https://livesinthebalance.org/ Dana Kay Resources: Website: https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDThriveInstitute/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adhdthriveinstitute/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ADHDThriveInstitute LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/adhd-thrive-institute/mycompany/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ph/adhdthriveinstitute/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_thriveinstitute International Best Selling Book, Thriving with ADHD – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/book/ Free Reduce ADHD Symptoms Naturally Masterclass - https://bit.ly/3GAbFQl ADHD Parenting Course – https://info.adhdthriveinstitute.com/parentingadhd ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids Program – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/packages/

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
You won't always be there for your kids and that's a normal part of life, which is why you need to foster them with coping skills to further improve their stress tolerance as they gradually become more independent and learn to navigate challenges on their own. Moreover, you shouldn't do bubble wrap parenting as it negatively affects their development even though your overprotectiveness is out of pure love and concern. When children are excessively protected and shielded from every potential obstacle or failure, they may struggle to develop important life skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, and resilience. Today's episode, which is a continuation of our series on coping skills, is going to give you tools and resources to help your kids be more resilient.The importance of patience and reinforcement.Fostering coping skills and stress tolerance is not an easy task; it's going to take some time to do. It is thus important to have patience and do positive reinforcement, especially to kids dealing with behavioral or learning issues. We've mentioned in our previous episode that other kids need three times the amount of reinforcement. Positive reinforcement plays a vital role in encouraging desired behaviors and building confidence in children. We always have to take into consideration that progress may not always be linear, and setbacks are a normal part of the learning process. As a parent or caregiver, it's important to provide consistent support and understanding. How to foster stress tolerance.Parents should start by regulating themselves because kids co-regulate off of their parents. And so, don't approach your kids when you or your kids are a hot mess.We also have to be responsive to our kids so that they'd understand what the most salient things are as we consistently reinforce the positive behaviors. As parents, we have to be role models to our kids. That is why we have to be careful with the verbiage we use. Train your kid to have a positive mindset that they can handle things. The language we use when communicating with our children has the power to influence how they see themselves, their attitudes, and their actions. It is crucial to be mindful of our word choices and opt for positive and constructive language that motivates and inspires them. Give your kids positive reinforcement statements when they feel uneasy or uncomfortable. Sometimes, they're in dire need of reassurance that the problems they have are temporary and will pass. By allowing them to experience age-appropriate setbacks, they get opportunities to learn and develop necessary skills to navigate life's difficulties. Many of our clients come from all over the world for our Brain Behavior Reset Program and it has produced significant and positive results which we're all very grateful for. In that program, we focus on coping skills not just for the kid but also for the family because when dealing with frustration tolerance, you really have to take a holistic approach.Our neurotastic line comes out in August 2023 so make sure to visit our website (https://drroseann.com/help) and get waitlisted.For more information, you can read these blog posts on Anxiety Coping Skills for Teens (https://drroseann.com/anxiety-coping-skills-for-teens/) and 10 Essential Coping Skills for ADHD Kids (https://drroseann.com/10-essential-coping-skills-for-adhd-kids/).Mentioned in this episode:Get the FREE Self-Regulation Guide!Do you have a child who gets dysregulated at the drop of a hat, maybe...
