Helping ADHD kids with social skills issues is complicated. What If every social issue for an ADHD person is only that it is just a social skills problem to be solved? No matter what the issue is… from an ADHD teenager who is struggling to fit in to a child who can't self-regulate with his peers or a child who is overly upset compared to the size of the problem… what if the answer is social problem solving?

Those with ADHD are neuro-atypical and thus the traditional solutions don't necessarily work. In order to find atypical solutions, often a parent needs to brainstorm. All too often this is done the wrong way and, over a period of time, with negative results and parents don't use this valuable tool. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) and ADHD parent coach Caroline Maguire (www.necoaching.com) talk about the power of brainstorming, how to do it, what to look for, how to avoid the pitfalls, and how to use it to find solutions that are not so obvious.

Got an ADHD adolescent or young adult off to college? Do they take stimulant medications? Should they be careful about who they share their diagnosis with and that they are taking stimulants?

A lot is written on launching kids with ADHD into college successfully. Much of it centers around the need for organization, time management, and executive functioning. What's obvious is that, if it's something they could easily do, they would have done it already. What’s more, many kids at this age don't want to seek help. Host ADHD and attention coach, Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com), and co-host Caroline Maguire (www.necoaching.com) discuss a different way of launching ADHD kids into college intended to change their frame of reference in a way that is different from traditional efforts so they may be more motivated and actually seek help. In simplistic terms, it's focusing conversations on what it's going to be like to move back in with their parents for the rest of their lives. The goal of this show isn't necessarily to solve the problem, but to help you think differently and show how you can work with your ADHD teens to motivate them to move forward.

Attention deficit disorder! It is so negative. The words, “deficit” and “disorder,” take us to a negative place from the get-go. What would it be like if we could change the label? What about something more positive or politically correct? On the other hand, are we stuck with the name?

Do your ADHD kids seem to have no sense of time? Do they seem not to know how to get started? Do your ADHD kids seem to think about the future at all?

Kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder say the darnedest things.

At Attention Talk Radio, we like to help people with ADHD pay attention to what they are paying attention to, and our favorite guest on today’s topic is Dr. Ari Tuckman (www.adultADHDbook.com). In this episode we focus on sex, intimacy, and masturbation in the context of attention. As we’ve learned from Dr. Tuckman, some of the treatment for folks with low libido involves mindfulness, or attention training, to notice those passing sexual thoughts, feelings, desires, or fantasies and then amplify them. This obviously ties in to masturbation. Sex involves shifting attention as well, because we shift from attending to our partner's pleasure to shifting back to our own physical sensations and mental fantasies. In the context of attention, masturbation is simpler because you don't need to attend to another person and can focus on your own physical and fantasy experience. If this is true and done with intention, can sex and masturbation be used as a mindfulness exercise to help those with ADHD regulate attention? J

Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely make up SMART goals. Countless motivational speakers preach them. Question is, are they the very things that inhibit those with ADHD from moving forward? Does focus on outcome blind you to the process to achieve goals? Should those with ADHD focus on outcome and figure out the process to get there, or focus on the process and use it as a compass to get to the outcome? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper banters with ADHD parenting coach Caroline Maguire (www.necoaching.com) on this fascinating topic. If you have read the books, gone to the webinars, gotten all jacked up, gone home, and failed to execute, this is the show that will be at the top of your list.

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy has popularized the phrase, “You may be a redneck if….” He then adds a peculiar behavior or trait poking fun at what it means to be a redneck. As we've learned from comedian Rick Green, you can't laugh and cry at the same time. Often, humor is used as a shield, and research tells us that laughter is healthy in healing. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com) and have fun with our own angle, “You know you have ADHD when….” If you have ADHD and want to have a laugh, this is a show you don't want to miss.
