Parenting ADHD with Annie Adjan

From Nagging to Empowering: A Simple Reminder System for ADHD Teens


Listen Later

Hello, wonderful parents,

In today's episode, we're tackling a topic that's close to many of our hearts: turning those endless reminders into meaningful actions for our teenagers with ADHD. As a parent, I know how quickly reminders can start sounding like nagging, and that's the last thing our teens need or want. So, I've got a simple, yet brilliantly effective solution to share with you: the Post-it Reminder System.

Here's What We'll Unpack Today:

  • The Nagging Challenge: We've all been there, haven't we? Constantly reminding our teens to do this or that, and feeling like a broken record. I'll explain why this is even more challenging for families navigating ADHD.
  • The Power of Post-its: Yes, those little sticky notes can be your new best friend! I'll guide you through how to use Post-its to gently nudge your teen towards responsibility without saying a word.
  • Tailoring the System: Every teen, every home is different. I'll share tips on making the Post-it system work for you and your unique family dynamic. Remember, involving your teen in this process is key!
  • Setting Realistic Goals: We're aiming for progress, not perfection. I'll talk about why an 80% success rate with this system is a win and how it can transform your family's daily routine.
  • Join me as I delve into these insights, sprinkled with personal anecdotes and practical tips that you can start using today. Remember, our goal is to empower our teens, not overwhelm them.

    Until our next chat, keep embracing those small victories and loving your teen through it all. Adios!
