Helping ADHD Kids | POF192

If you have a child with ADHD, you know how hard it can be to parent them. In fact, it’s exhausting! Well…parenting your ADHD kiddos are about to get a lot easier!

Dr. Melissa Dvorsky is my guest and she is an EXPERT among experts in the area of ADHD and organizational management for kids to help them improve time management and planning skills, improve organization.

In this episode, we talk about Executive Functioning, what it is and how it impacts our kids’ behavior, mood and conduct. ADHD shows up differently in each person with it so how do we know if it’s ADHD or it’s a mood disorder like depression?

Dr. Dvorsky has a wealth of helpful resources to help you, your child and their educational team. When we can give our kids the tools, they need to be successful, it’s empowering!
