Ep. 164: Your anticipation of the fight with your ADHD kid, is likely causing the exact fight you don’t want!
Over the past week so many parents shared with me that managing their child’s mood was like walking on eggshells. They were constantly scanning for things that would trigger their child or set them off. And they’d try to avoid it but all the strategies used seemed to intensify the moment or backfire completely.
In this week’s episode I talk about that anticipatory anxiety and how our nervous system’s survival strategy is failing us. And I give you steps on how to rebuild that predictability so both you and your child come to these triggering moments in a different way. I give you an example from my own home around the Chrome Book (something my son wants more of and I want less of) and how we were able to rebuild this high conflict moment into something that is collaborative and calm.
