Managing a household and a family can be a difficult task and often chaotic but add a few ADDers to the mix and WOW!

ADHD isn’t so much a deficit of attention but rather an executive function impairment. Self-awareness is an executive function. ADHD or not, self-awareness is highly correlated with success in life. Clearly, it is a big deal and something you should pay attention to. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) takes an in-depth look at self-awareness. He highlights its importance and its challenges, identifies other executive functions that conflict with it, and talks about the obvious realities invisible to most. In the end, you can’t manage anything you are not aware of; thus, if you have no awareness around awareness, it is hard to manage. Bottom line? If you have ADHD, this is a must for you.

To provide more insight on this subject, we are re-releasing our interview with Marie Paxson, former president of CHADD, who relates the good, the bad, and the ugly based on her experience as a parent of a son who took a gap year and why a gap year can be beneficial.
