Children with ADHD have the ability to think differently, it is a gift we need to support. Children can often be creative, passionate, sensitive and caring, but their lack of emotional regulation, inattention and impulsivity can get in the way. If the focus on what they find difficult, without giving them support, they can think their difference is negative rather than positive. They can become anxious, self-destructive, lack self- esteem, isolate themselves, or become attention seeking. Supporting a child by highlighting their strengths and helping them to manage their limitations will give them confidence to be successful in life. Let’s help our kids shine.
