#127: Competition to Cooperation: Siblings and ADHD with Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart
SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #127: Competition to Cooperation: Siblings and ADHD with Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart The Childhood Collective 9/20/2023 SUMMARY “I want to pick the show!” “I want to sit by Mom!” “Leave me alone!” The sibling struggle is real and can be exhausting for parents and caregivers. Trying to operate as a mediator between your kids gets old very quickly. We know that having a child or two in the home with ADHD only intensifies the inevitable conflict. In this episode, we interview Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart, a standout in pediatric psychology, about navigating developmental sibling conflict. We hope to help your kids move from competition to cooperation. MEET DR. ANN-LOUISE Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart is a business owner of A New Day Pediatric Psychology in San Antonio, TX. She is a pediatric psychologist, parent coach, wife of 24 years, a mom of 11 and 13-year-olds, and has over 17 years of experience in her field. She serves as a parent coach for parents who have kids and teens with behavioral and emotional regulation concerns, those diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, as well as kids who are highly sensitive. She focuses on helping parents adjust their mindset about parenting. Dr. Lockhart helps overwhelmed parents get on the same page and better understand their kids and teens. AFFILIATE INFORMATION We talk A LOT about executive function and what it takes for our kids with ADHD to plan and execute important tasks in their lives. But what about us? The mental load of parenting is real, and there is SO MUCH we have to use our executive functions for. One of those things is meal planning. What does everyone like? What will my kids eat? Which family member can have dairy, and which one can’t have gluten? The list goes on and on. We know nutrition is important, but balanced meals take a backseat between school, therapy appointments, activities, and more. That is why we are loving Hungryroot. They offer “good-for-you groceries and simple recipes.” We have loved having one less thing to worry about. As always, we want to help you, so we’ve got a code for 40% off your first box.

#126: Say Less (no, really!) and Other Tips To Support Your Child With ADHD.
SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #126: Say Less (no, really!) and Other Tips to Support Your Child’s Listening. The Childhood Collective 9/13/2023 SUMMARY We can hear ourselves now trying to yell upstairs or get our kid's attention over the TV or tablet. We are all guilty of the “drive-by directions” trap when we want our kids to listen. None of these seem to work, and we just get louder and louder. Our tone gets angrier and angrier. Obvious ending? It doesn’t work. Getting kids to listen is tough; getting kids with ADHD to listen is even more challenging. Remember, your kids want to do well, so they aren’t playing a game of who can make mom the most mad. Their unique wiring requires a different communication strategy to get cooperation. In this episode, we share four tips to get your child with ADHD to listen without yelling. These take practice, but we know you will notice a more calm environment as you incorporate them into your home! MEET OUR TEAM We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you. After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.

SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #124: Homework Success Starts With The Space The Childhood Collective 8/16/2023 SUMMARY For children with ADHD, homework is often the *last* thing they want to do after school! This is likely due to differences in their executive functioning, and parents are often left to deal with the consequences. This is a recipe for fighting, distraction, and all-over discouragement... the struggle is real for our families when it comes to homework. Kids with ADHD need a special measure of support to accomplish what is expected of them. In this episode, we discuss how homework success starts with the space you curate, and we provide some of our favorite tips! CONNECT WITH US We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie.

SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #123: ADHD and the Benefits of A Faster Brain with Peter Shankman The Childhood Collective 8/23/2023 SUMMARY Raising a child with ADHD is often complicated, and being a child with ADHD is also REALLY hard. The constant redirections, the social struggles, and the low self-esteem can have the ADHD child feeling like they're broken. “What’s wrong with me?” Is the recurring question in their mind? But what if we flip the script? As parents and caregivers, we have the opportunity to show kids that their brain is not broken; it's BRILLIANT. They have a faster brain and just have to learn how to drive it. Today we talk with author Peter Shankman about his journey to engage his faster brain and help parents teach their kids how to use what he calls “an amazing gift.” MEET PETER Peter is a 5x best-selling author, entrepreneur, and corporate keynote speaker. With three successful startup launches and exits under his belt, Peter is recognized worldwide for radically new ways of thinking about customer experience, social media, PR, marketing, advertising, and ADHD with the new neurodiverse and remote economies. He’s currently the Futurist in Residence at Price Benowitz and BluShark Digital. Peter’s podcast, Faster than Normal - is the #1 podcast on ADHD, focusing on the superpowers and gifts of having a "faster than normal brain,” which has helped thousands of people all around the world realize that having a neurodiverse brain is actually a gift, not a curse. Finally, Peter is a father, a 2x Ironman triathlete, a Class B licensed skydiver, and has a pretty serious Peloton addiction. When he’s not traveling around the world speaking to companies big and small, he's based in NYC with his nine-year-old daughter and two-year-old dog, both of whom consistently refuse him access to his couch.
