"Screen time use is a huge challenge for teens with ADHD...It's more about learning to work with it rather than against it."
"Teenagers with ADHD may do things more impulsively, including on social media and screens."
"Teenagers with ADHD can engage in more risky driving behaviors, and so, as a parent, to be able to monitor their safety, that's very important."
"What I recommend for parents is that you actually take a look at how your child and teenager are using their screens and to come up with other activities that they can do that are beneficial as well, outside of screens."
"Screens are not inherently bad, based on the amount of time you are using them, but it's just how are you using them?"
"Don't throw the kitchen sink at your teenager. Just look at, what are my child and teenager's biggest challenges right now, and then, how can I address that?"
"When kids and teenagers have more positive self-esteems, it's going to protect them from things like anxiety and depression, so they're going to have a higher quality of life."
"For teenagers with ADHD, they are often receiving more negative messages than those without ADHD."
"One of the things I love to include for teenagers is either mastery or leadership activities into their life."
"A big piece of teenager challenges around school is there is so much to organize and plan for...Parents can really support their kids in planning and organizing by helping them in the early stages of seeing what they have coming up over the upcoming month."
"It will get better, even though it is difficult right now."
"Finding your own support network is huge."
"It's not about you. You're not the problem, but you can be part of the solution."

Soaring Child: Thriving with ADHD
04/27/23 • 30 min
What if there was a place where men could come to learn how to become better husbands, fathers, and leaders in their community, a place where men could openly talk about their successes and their struggles in their marriages and their lives? In this episode of the Soaring Child, Doug Holt provides that place.
Doug is a father of a beautiful son and daughter and a successful serial entrepreneur who is on a mission to help other businessmen lead their families well. Doug now runs The Powerful Man, with a mission of helping these men save their marriages and become the best men, fathers, and husbands they can be.
In this episode, discover Doug’s advice for both men and women about how to better handle conflict, restore love to a stagnant marriage, and bring that spark back.
Key Takeaways:

Memorable Moments:
"Marriage actually takes a lot of work. It's not just a checkbox thing."
"I felt like I had a roommate with a ring, rather than a wife. And my wife felt the same way. But of course, we didn't know how to communicate that. We lay six inches apart but were six miles away emotionally."
"Men, just as much as women, want that connection."
“Suicide is the #2 cause of death for men.”
"There's a lot of men that are in this lifestyle of quiet desperation, and what they want more than anything is to be an amazing father."
"Often I hear, 'I feel like a stranger in my own home.'"
"The only people I've talked to that have perfect marriages are liars...If you've never had a problem in your marriage, that's a problem."
"You deserve more than average. This is your life...so don't wait for things to happen. Take action."
"Your energy matters when you bring it into the home."
"A wife wants to be seen, heard, and desired."

[22:17] The importance of consistency in this approach
[24:24] How parents can promote a more positive relationship between siblings
Memorable Moments:
"Behaviors really do communicate their emotional experiences."
"We've really got to trust our parenting instincts. If it feels like I'm not giving my child enough attention, they might be feeling that way too."
"If we can get a bit of a picture or an understanding of, 'What's the siblings' experience of what's happening in the home? What's their feeling?' Then we can go, 'What's their underlying need?' And then we can respond and support them in that need."
"I often like to start with that verbal observation of what I am seeing between the siblings. And then you do the Name it to Tame It."
"We do want that sibling to feel heard, seen, soothed...But we also want them to be able to hold compassion and empathy for their sibling as well."
"Rather than...'How do we hit with the discipline or consequential action," going, 'what do I want to teach in this moment?'"
"There's the content of what they're saying, but what's actually underneath?"
"You are building a new picture of how your children experience you."
"A really important focus on how we create that sibling relationship is...that parent-child relationship...When that child who is struggling feels connected to, feels heard and understood by the parent, we're in a much better place to build the foundations of that positive sibling relationship."

50: ADHD from a Psychiatric Perspective with Dr. Achina Stein
Soaring Child: Thriving with ADHD
03/30/23 • 40 min
In this episode of the Soaring Child, we are looking at ADHD from a psychiatric perspective, covering topics such as how a child is diagnosed with ADHD, common underlying stressors, dietary changes compared to medication, risks of stimulants, and so much more!
Dr. Achina Stein is a physician, board certified psychiatrist, and has been in practice since 1994. She's also a certified practitioner of the Institute of Functional Medicine, a distinguished fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and an energy healer. She's the co-owner of her own private practice called Functional Mind.
She is the bestselling author of the book, What If It's Not Depression: Your Guide to Finding Answers and Solutions and has been interviewed about her pioneering work as a functional medicine psychiatrist on many podcasts and summits.
Tune in to this episode to learn about ADHD from a psychiatrist’s perspective.
Key Takeaways
[3:29] - What led Dr. Achina Stein to her current work
[10:40] - What is the DSM, and how is it created?
[14:23] - How are children typically diagnosed with ADHD?
[19:55] - Common underlying stressors/root causes
[21:35] - The importance of healthy digestion, protein, and healthy fats for children with ADHD
[23:03] - Dietary changes compared to medication
[24:49] - The Burp Test
[28:49] - Risks and side effects of stimulant medications
[32:52] - Key aspects of treatment plans that are sometimes missed
Memorable Quotes
“My goal for my patients is never to have someone suffer on a long term basis.”
“A diagnosis is only needed if you need accommodations, especially for ADHD...or if you want to go on medicine.”
“What the DSM is...it’s the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Disorders where a group of people have come together...They are all deemed experts on some level...And then they decide how a diagnosis is made. And none of these diagnoses are made through any objective data.”
“There are certain disorders that are considered normal in some cultures that are considered abnormal in other cultures.”
“The problem with these tests and with the DSM is that it actually says zero - nothing - about cause.”
“Look at habits. I think many functional doctors miss that.”
“I see a bigger change in people with a dietary change than I do with medications.”
“I would say 60% of people don't tolerate medications as well, or respond to medications when medications are tried. I see a much more robust response to change in diet.”
“All mental health disorders basically have the same root causes.”
“Everyone is going to have a genetic predisposition to something but you can flip those genes, because it’s not the genes that matter so much...it’s more the expression of those genes. And you can turn off those bad genes and turn on those good genes through foods and through stress management.”

“I like to call it the SEEDS of health. S for stress, E for environment and toxins. Other E for Exercise, D for diet, and final S would be sleep.”
“Sometimes it can be overwhelming, and that's where I think it's important to start by remembering that there are some things we have some control over, and there are some things that we don't have a ton of control over.”
“There are toxins in the water. There are toxins in our food.”
“When speaking about this to families, it's really important to focus on those things where you do actually have some control.”

”There's no logical reason not to think about prevention, and there's no logical reason to not think about the root cause of illness. But it's difficult in modern medicine because of the way the system is set up.”
”The system is not going to fix the problem.”

Soaring Child: Thriving with ADHD
03/09/23 • 36 min
On this week’s episode of the Soaring Child, we are exploring an interesting topic - neuro-optometry and the correlation between vision problems and ADHD.
Dr. Bryce Appelbaum is a pioneer in neuro-optometry, passionate about unlocking life's potential through vision. His expertise includes reorganizing the visual brain post-concussion, remediating visual developmental delays interfering with reading and learning, and enhancing visual skills to elevate sports performance.
Dr. Appelbaum is on a mission to change the way the world views vision. He believes there is more to vision than just 20/20 eyesight and has developed programs to retrain the brain and eyes. Dr. Appelbaum has been featured on the front page of USA Today, in The New York Times, and in many others.
In this episode, discover how vision therapy can help children with ADHD.
Key Takeaways:
[3:26] What is vision therapy?

[13:35] What is the focusing system?

[29:57] Specific supplements that help with eyesight
Memorable Quotes:
“I like to think of eyesight and vision as separate entities.”
“All visual skills are learned skills, and they’re skills that are either learned well or not learned as well as they could be.”
“We learn skills through our life experiences, especially early on. We learn how to integrate both sides of our body, and we learn how to develop the motor foundation from which we then learn how to use our visual system.”
“Dyslexia, by definition, means difficulty reading words.”
“Convergence insufficiency is essentially the brain's ability to use the outside muscles of the eyes to point in the same place to see something single.”
“Treatment options should always start with, ‘Can something be done with glasses to make life easier and to make things more comfortable to close the gap in terms of where they're operating compared to where they want to be?’”
“It's basically brain training for the eyes, which should be individualized and should be based off of all the different metrics that are identified, and should have a nice mix of home therapy with office therapy, where there's reinforcement of what has been learned.”
“95% of people I've seen in the last two and a half years have had an increase in symptoms or problems that they’re no longer able to compensate for, based on this huge introduction of visual stress.”

45: CBD Oil and ADHD with Liz Carlile
Soaring Child: Thriving with ADHD
02/23/23 • 25 min
On this week’s episode of Soaring Child, we are exploring an interesting topic - CBD oil and ADHD. CBD is one of the most highly researched plants and has been shown to be beneficial for a variety of body systems. In this episode, we discuss how it can benefit children with ADHD, as well as their caregivers.
Liz Carlisle is the host of the Motherhood Unstressed podcast. Through the show Liz converses with brilliant minds to empower and uplift her audience of women all over the world to live with less stress and more purpose and joy.
Liz is interested in the importance of non-negotiable self-care for mothers informed by personal experience. All of these pieces of the puzzle culminate into the brand Motherhood Unstressed, which believes that life is meant to be rich with purpose, cherished with loved ones, and wholeheartedly enjoyed.
Key Takeaways:
[3:01] What is CBD oil?
[3:40] What is the difference between CBD and THC?
[5:37] How does CBD oil help balance that system?
[6:44] Is CBD legal?
[9:24] Does CBD help ADHD symptoms?
[13:33] How did Liz get into CBD?
[22:08] Why does quality matter in CBD?
Memorable Quotes:
“CBD is short for cannabidiol and is simply one molecule out of many in the cannabis plant. I think a lot of people hear cannabis plant, and they immediately think of the marijuana plant, but the cannabis plant is kind of like the overarching plant that you can split into the marijuana plant or if it contains less than a certain amount of THC in it, it becomes hemp.”
“An interesting point is that we actually make our own cannabinoids. That's why it's called the endocannabinoid system because we produce cannabinoids, and we actually produce it during exercise, during sleep, all of these healthy practices, but most of us don't produce enough.”
”It is legal in all 50 states because again, it's coming from the hemp plant. It's not a marijuana plant so you're not violating any federal laws.”
“I tell my clients that when you start taking CBD, up the amount that you would normally do in the morning. You could take some in the afternoon and then at night so that you build up that reserve in your system.”
“The only side effects I could imagine is if you took way too much, you would probably want to lay down and take a nap.”
“When I first started Motherhood Unstressed, I was doing a little bit of mommy influencing and that kind of stuff. And so a CBD brand reached out to me to promote their product.”
“Living intentionally to me means starting your day with the intention of like, I know, stuff is going to get crazy. That's the nature of life. But I’m not going to let these outside circumstances overwhelm me.”
“I can’t control anything else...but I can control how I react to it.”
“When a stressful situation comes, centering yourself back into that intention, you know, can be so, so powerful.”
“Think about what that does in someone's life, when you go out into your day, and you're not constantly reacting to things.”
“CBD is an amazing plant for so many reasons. But it is a great plant for pulling heavy toxic metals out of the ground. They actually used the hemp plant to clean up Chernobyl...So, quality matters.”

43: Overcoming Burnout with David Greenwood
Soaring Child: Thriving with ADHD

Caregiver or parental burnout is a very common struggle for parents of neurodiverse children. When my son’s ADHD symptoms were at their worst, burnout felt like it was constantly just a few meltdowns away.
In this edition of the Soaring Child, we speak with a burnout expert, David Greenwood.
David is the author of Overcoming Burnout and the perfect person to speak on this topic. In Overcoming Burnout, he interviewed many people who experienced significant bouts of burnout. He also interviewed many experts in the field and incorporated that advice into the book.
In this episode, he shares real life strategies for burnout, recovery, and prevention. His previous book, Overcoming Distractions, profiled many entrepreneurs with adult ADHD, and they shared their stories of success.
If you are the parent of a child with ADHD, you definitely want to tune in to this episode to learn strategies that can help keep you from that place of parental burnout.

Memorable Moments:
"I needed to focus more on me."
"People don't take the time to have a professional life that supports their personal goals...Decide what you want your personal life to look like and ask, how can your professional life support that?"
"It's important for us to be in charge...you need to be in charge of yourself, you need to be in charge of your emotions, you need to be in charge of how you react."
"You need to prepare the mind by preparing the body. You need to take care of the body so that the mind can do the work and crawl out of burnout."
"Taking a good walk with some good fresh air in your face - no headphones, no podcasts, no music, no nothing, just you and nature - just opens the pathways up and opens up the thinking."
"The healing aspect of taking a walk and being out in nature cannot be understated."
"A lot of burnout, whether it's career burnout or caregiver burnout, comes back to time management."
"The ADHD world has heard the sleep speech, but it is very important. If you're running on fumes, then you're going to be short-tempered."
"Build a habit of walking away, hitting the pause button."

Memorable Quotes:
“When I'm working with families with children under the age of 12, we have a conversation about that. And it makes a huge difference for them to understand that if their child is not doing what they want them to, it's not because they don't want to. It's because they can't do it.”
“I've now been an ADHD life coach for 20 years and have opened my own training program for coaches, usually parents who have children with ADHD, and it still amazes me 20 years later, how much is misunderstood and the lack of awareness.”
“When parents go through the struggles and then they come out at the back end with all this information, they've just got this passion to be able to share it with others.”
“I'm a natural learner. I always look for, as you said, the why underneath the behavior.”
“Kids are pre-programmed to try and please adults. It's to their benefit to be able to do that.”
“I want them to be happy and to be able to take care of themselves and to have good relationships, even though the issues that a parent might call with are very different.”
“One thing to know about kids with ADHD...when they're either angry or they can anger somebody else or frustrate somebody else, it actually is like getting a natural dopamine hit for them.”
