Being diagnosed as an adult can be a bitter sweet occurrence. On one hand you may feel an intense feeling of relief, because you now understand why you have experience difficulties in the past. But you may also feel a feeling of sorrow or fear, since you don't understand exactly how your ADHD had affected you and what it will mean in the future. ADHD Coaching will be the best gift you can give yourself. You will understand how ADHD affects you, how by making small changes you will be able to achieve your goals, identify your strengths and finally feel comfortable with who you are.
School years can be a challenging time for children and adolescents with ADHD. Coaching will provide strategies and skills that will allow them to undrstand how their ADHD affects them, realize it is no reflection of their intelligence, help them recognize their strengths, accept themselves for who they are and never ever let their ADHD stand in their way of their goals.
Hiring an ADHD Coach to help you through the maze of our educational system can be the best gift you can give to yourself and your family. An ADHD coach will enable parents to understand the complexity of ADHD, provide the structure and discipline that will allow their ADDers to mature, thrive and not use their ADHD as a crutch.
