How do we help our children and teens with ADHD take ownership of their time, tasks, and daily responsibilities—without endlessly directing, reminding, and rescuing them? How do we, as parents, step back in a way that strengthens their independence?
In this webinar, ADHD Coach Leslie Josel will show parents how to resist the temptation to jump in with solutions, and instead guide their children to create their own plans, articulate their own answers, and build the executive functioning muscles needed for independence.
She’ll explore how strengthening key executive functioning skills—planning, initiation, and future thinking—creates the foundation for sustainable habit-building and true problem solving. Leslie will also unpack why the word “problem” matters more than we think, and how its overuse can unintentionally send discouraging messages that stall growth and motivation.
Walk away with practical tools and insights that make stepping back feel purposeful and effective.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How repeatedly labeling something a “problem” can shut down a child’s problem-solving mindset — and what to say instead
- How to use future-focused, empowering verbiage to help your child strengthen initiation, awareness, and internal motivation
- About the 3-Step Habit-Building Model, a simple, brain-based framework that parents can use immediately to help their children create sustainable habits and routines
- Guided questions parents can use to spark independent thinking and reduce over-reliance on adult direction
- How to stop answering questions your child never asked and avoid unintentionally becoming the “manager” of their every move
