You tell yourself, “This is just too hard, and I can't do it.” Feelings of suffocation and hopelessness fill your chest as you grieve the fact that your child with ADHD feels extremely challenging.

It is possible to calm the chaos in your home from challenging behavior.

SHINING WITH ADHD  EPISODE #134: “I Don't Want to Mess This Up!” Talking with Your Kids About ADHD The Childhood Collective 11/08/2023   SUMMARY As expectant parents, I am sure you read “the books” like we did. Books about pregnancy, books about sleep, books about nutrition, books about not paying attention to the books, the list goes on and on. Interestingly enough, none of the books prepare you for discovering your child is neurodivergent. It is only when you realize that your child doesn't play by those books and then you feel like you're in uncharted territory. You finally get a diagnosis of ADHD for your child, and you feel validated, and you can finally stop caring about what Aunt Carol says about your parenting. But how do you talk with your child about it? Letting them understand how their brain works and how amazing they are is foundational for their self-esteem. Chances are they already experience being “different,” so the understanding is a gift to them. Nothing we do in parenting is perfect because WE aren't perfect, but in this episode, we share our favorite strategies for talking to your child about their ADHD diagnosis.  MEET OUR TEAM We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you. After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.  AFFILIATE INFORMATION We can't have your attention, and not mention Time Timer.

SHINING WITH ADHD  EPISODE #123: ADHD and the Benefits of A Faster Brain with Peter Shankman The Childhood Collective 8/23/2023   SUMMARY Raising a child with ADHD is often complicated, and being a child with ADHD is also REALLY hard. The constant redirections, the social struggles, and the low self-esteem can have the ADHD child feeling like they're broken. “What's wrong with me?” Is the recurring question in their mind? But what if we flip the script? As parents and caregivers, we have the opportunity to show kids that their brain is not broken; it's BRILLIANT. They have a faster brain and just have to learn how to drive it. Today we talk with author Peter Shankman about his journey to engage his faster brain and help parents teach their kids how to use what he calls “an amazing gift.”   MEET PETER Peter is a 5x best-selling author, entrepreneur, and corporate keynote speaker.

He's currently the Futurist in Residence at Price Benowitz and BluShark Digital. Peter's podcast, Faster than Normal - is the #1 podcast on ADHD, focusing on the superpowers and gifts of having a "faster than normal brain,” which has helped thousands of people all around the world realize that having a neurodiverse brain is actually a gift, not a curse. Finally, Peter is a father, a 2x Ironman triathlete, a Class B licensed skydiver, and has a pretty serious Peloton addiction. When he's not traveling around the world speaking to companies big and small, he's based in NYC with his nine-year-old daughter and two-year-old dog, both of whom consistently refuse him access to his couch.

Collaborating with a guest expert for your online course is a great way to provide incredible value to your students. But mapping out (in writing!) things like who’s doing what, and how the expert is compensated is crucial to preventing a guest expert collaboration from going south. In this episode you’ll learn the important questions to ask when you’re collaborating with a guest expert in your online course: What type of collaboration is this? - Is your guest expert contributing material for a single lesson, creating the course with you 50/50? Who’s earning what? - Is your guest expert paid a percentage of sales, a flat fee, or something else? Or is your guest expert paying you in exchange for exposure? Who is paying the expenses? - Who pays the invoice from your graphic designer, videographer, etc.? Who is responsible for marketing? - Is your guest expert required to send emails to their list, do a FB live, etc. to promote your launch? What happens if it falls apart? Who owns the intellectual property? - Is your collaborator allowed to create a spin-off live event from the online course or is that not allowed? Do you need a nondisclosure agreement? - Are you lifting the curtain on your business’s secret sauce? Key takeaway: Guest experts can make a great addition to your online course, but asking some key questions and agreeing to terms in writing can help you ensure the collaboration is a success.
