ONE-ON-ONE
ADHD COACHING
ADHD Support Coaching begins with the Brain in Mind,
because everyone has the ability to transform.
ADHD coaching may be right if your child or teen:
- Comes home from school telling you, “I’m stupid. I hate school! I don’t get what I’m supposed to do.” You see a loss of self esteem regarding school performance.
- Resists going to school or participating in normal childhood activities.
- Takes an extreme amount of time or parental support to initiate and complete homework or chores.
- Perpetually has a backpack that is totally disorganized with papers stuffed all over the place – even when you helped organize it the day before.
- Exhibits disorganization and memory struggles, as evidenced by difficulty keeping their rooms clean and forgetting to complete routine chores.
- Struggles with making friends and feeling accepted by peers. He or she may be a victim of bullying or teasing due to social skill difficulties.
- Makes impulsive decisions and seems to challenge you with defiant behavioral choices.
- Refuses to do homework or says all the work was completed at school. You see ongoing resistance to completing school work.
Do you experience any of the following:
- Getting to University classes on time or turning in assignments is becoming a nightmare or at best is chaotic.
- Determining the right career or a new shift in career feels overwhelming.
- You get off track easily, can’t complete things and get easily distracted.
- You feel like there is too much to do and are lucky if you accomplish one to two of your daily goals with all of the ongoing interruptions.
- Your homes, closets or office sometimes look as if they have been vandalized or like warehouses for piles of papers.
- You can’t find a starting place to begin working toward a goal; whether it be completing an assignment, getting your child ready for camp, and getting into an organization routine.
- You have to call your cell phone to find it. Your car keys disappear. You can’t remember appointments or run late all the time.
- Life feels chaotic and you don’t feel like you’re living up to your potential.
- You're bright and struggling with success in doing well in college. You know how to manage a household or what needs to be done, but can’t put it all together.
- Money management and doing well in the work environment is a constant energy drain.
- Writing “Thank You” notes and keeping up with paper work is overwhelming.
- You have several projects going at one time and quickly lose interest in things that were a passion.
- Your spouse appears to be constantly frustrated when you just “can’t seem to be responsible”. Yet, you are doing the best you can.
- Feeling a sense of “not being enough” or “ongoing failure” makes it difficult to overcome challenges or deal with ongoing internal shame messages.
