It’s an executive function skill that develops more slowly in ADHD brains, often two to three years behind a child’s actual age. A 10-year-old with ADHD may have the impulse control of a 7- or 8-year-old. This makes it harder to picture future outcomes and use internal dialogue to pause before acting. That’s why “try harder” or “think be

From my presentation at the 2025 International Conference on ADHD. In this presentation, I highlight the strategies I teach in the ADHD Dude Membership Parent Behavior Training programs, Capable & Confident (for ages 4-7), and Scaffolding Better Behavior (for ages 8 and up) to help parents reclaim their parental authority over their child's challenging behaviors, which are significantly reduced or stop altogether. I realize that many people may not be aware that the primary service ADHD Dude pro

It can be heartbreaking to watch your child struggle socially. They want friends. They don't understand why things keep going wrong. And you’re left trying to help without damaging their confidence or making them feel blamed. Many parents were actively searching for help on this topic and couldn’t find anything useful. Most advice focused on behavior, compliance, or surface-level social rules, without addressing the actual skill that was missing. When kids with ADHD come across as bossy, control

I packed a lot into this video because it comes from years of working with families of teens with ADHD—and what I’ve seen actually helps them thrive. If you’re feeling burned out from doing everything for your teen while watching them fall behind in life skills, you’re not imagining it. When teens with ADHD are over-accommodated, they don’t grow. They become more inflexible, more entitled, and less prepared to handle real-world challenges. Start shifting that by doing these things: -Expect them

You shouldn’t have to act as your child’s executive functioning all day. You shouldn’t have to remind, prompt, and manage every step just to keep things moving. And you won’t have to when you implement scaffolding that helps your child learn to use their own executive functioning instead of you acting as their executive functioning. This is not about timers, lists, or surface-level fixes that fade. It is about addressing the root executive function skills that actually drive independence. When t
