What is ADHD, and how does it affect children? ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, affects not only attention but also a child's ability to regulate emotions and behaviour. How does it impact their daily life, and what are the key signs to watch for in children? The episode delves into understanding the three types of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined presentation, providing clear examples for each.

How does ADHD influence executive functioning in children? Executive functioning is essential for tasks like planning, organising, and managing time. What happens when children with ADHD experience delays in these skills? Learn how ADHD affects the brain's control centre and why understanding this is critical for adjusting expectations and providing the right support.

What strategies can parents use to support children with ADHD? From using visual aids to managing impulsivity, what are some practical ways parents can help their children? Leanne Tran offers evidence-based strategies that can be implemented at home to help children with ADHD develop essential life skills, especially those related to executive functioning and behaviour management.

How can parents manage their expectations for children with ADHD? What is the 30% rule, and how can it help parents set realistic expectations for their child’s development? This episode provides a breakdown of how ADHD affects children’s age-appropriate behaviour and offers tools to support both parents and children on their journey. So, let’s dive in.
