What we know about ADHD is that it is an executive functioning issue, which is a challenge of self-regulation. Add puberty and hormonal changes to the mix and the dynamic gets very complex. The ability to concentrate, focus, and self-regulate gets more difficult.

Research is revealing how ADHD is more of a self-regulation issue and not so much a deficit of attention. If that is true, is the process of learning to mind your manners actually a form of attention exercises designed to help kids develop self-regulation skills? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Ari Tuckman  (http://adultADHDbook.com) about the byproduct of holding a chair for a woman to sit, minding your elders, waiting to eat until everyone at the table is seated, and waiting your turn, all as behavioral and attention exercises that help those with ADHD build self-regulation skills.

When it comes to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Attention Talk Radio is all about paying attention to what is and is not being paid attention to. In this episode we pay attention to organization. What is obvious for most is that those with ADHD struggle with organization, and their strategies center around external tools. What few individuals pay attention to is how they process things differently and the impact of mental clutter or mental disorganization on their external organizational systems.

When it comes to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, going to sleep is a challenge for many, and the theories in books focus on sleep hygiene. There are very methodical answers that really make a lot of sense on paper but often don't help those with ADHD. As an ADHD coach, Jeff Copper has learned that the most difficult part of those with ADHD going to sleep is actually getting to bed, because they're interested in something else and they don't want to be bored.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper and Caroline Maguire (http://necoaching.com) talk about attention exercises to address the hard part, the falling asleep part. If you struggle with sleep, they share some great insights and tips that might help.
