Journey With Me Through ADHD: A podcast for kids

Why is getting an ADHD diagnosis important? So, you can learn about how your Ferrari brain works and then you are able to get the help you need with those "bicycle breaks." Just like you go see an eye doctor if you have a hard time seeing or a pediatrician (child doctor) if you are not feeling well. This is the same idea as finding the help you need with areas of ADHD struggle, as well as interest driven activities and ways of learning new things!

In this episode, you will hear from world authority in ADHD, Dr. Ned Hallowell! Dr. H is an incredible psychiatrist, who specialises in helping children and adults with ADHD. He has written tons of books, some that were best sellers, and he has played a pivotal role in introducing and driving our strength-based approach to ADHD! He shares how important it is to learn about your brilliant brain, he gives tips on how to start your day, and leaves you with a simple, but super valuable affirmation to remind yourself of..."I CAN!"
