Above average emotional and cognitive intelligence, a developed sense of justice, rare courage, thinking outside the box and rare creativity! That is all the good that excess dopamine brings to our brains, and the excess that is part of the problem of ADHD. But your child will get to enjoy these gifts he received, only if he knows how to overcome the challenges that the disorder brings with it.Personal guidance for children and teens with ADHD19 years that I have been working with students and 19 years that I have seen real miracles happen. It has been 19 years in which I have seen many children arrive with social difficulties and huge educational gaps accompanied by a complete lack of faith in their abilities. But sadder than that, I see parents of children with ADHD who have begun to lose faith in their children’s abilities. I started to offer training programs and personal guidance for children with ADHD – as a teacher and an educator living in the world of adults – And from a very rich experience working with children and youth, I allow myself to say with absolute certainty that there is nothing truer than the sentence “In adults, the consciousness must be changed to success, prosperity and a sense of competence. In children and youth, it must only be created as such from the beginning.”There is the theory – that explains with great precision the challenges faced by children, youth and adults with ADHD, and there are the facts – the great successes we experience in life arrive when we are ready to admit the many challenges that ADHD brings with it and show a willingness to face them. A child with ADHD will not grow and will not enjoy the huge benefits of the disorder, because he did not recognize the challenges and did not adapt the habits and tools to overcome it. The earlier we start the process, the quicker and easier the results will be to achieve.

In other words, in ADHD training program- less emotional forces will be required to create the change, and this is because there will be less mental and internal resistance of the child to the change.

Imagine a tiny monster

Imagine a little monster, sitting inside your brain, stomach, or shoulders. Choose any place you want.

She sits there and tells you stories – here are some examples: No friend wanted to come with you on Saturday for ice cream, your sister got mad at you earlier, the teacher was disappointed with me yesterday… and dozens if not hundreds of small memories that have no meaning for us adults but do have meaning for the children. Then the child arrives and wants a change. And believing in change, he takes the first step. And the monster screams. And she thinks she is the smartest, and she has a reason, she is full of life experience. The inner monster explains to your child with convincing logic why he cannot succeed, is not capable, is not loved. And the longer time has passed without us taking care of this monster, the stronger it will be and the less easily it will surrender. But it’s just a monster and the events that happened are just an interpretation, and the interpretation created an emotional state that created a reaction that created another event that created the same unempowering interpretation again. So how old is she? How old is the monster? Is she six months old? two years? three? Every monster can be defeated with the right tools. Any consciousness can be changed.It is just important to remember – the more we start the process when the monster is still a baby, when it can still be easily eliminated, the higher, faster, easier we can grow. The sooner we start the process of personal training for children with ADHD, the easier it will be to “fight” the previous consciousness that says, “I’m not good enough, I can’t succeed”. There will be fewer walls to break.

So, what do we do, the child and I – the process of learning how to interact with ADHD?

We will get to know the child’s strengths. There are lots of them! – I promise you. In the training program, the child will discover these strengths on his own. He will be surprised to find out how much good there is in him, and how much good there is in his life. The sessions will include CBT games (tools from the world of cognitive behavioral training), conversations, card games, assignments, and creating videos. After a few meetings with me, your child will be “flying on his own”. And this is how a child should walk in the world – when he “flies by himself”. Becoming the best possible version of himself. After that, we will also speak about the challenges, but not before making sure that there is a fertile ground of confidence and strength, an inner backbone that can receive and hear about the challenges and accept them. We will learn and apply the use of many tools to solve everyday challenges and struggles. We will create winning habits for life that will help the child build his future. 

At the end of these steps, we will go through some additional processes together

Creating leadership in your children, developing good social skills

Organizing time effectively – getting more done in less time and efficiently

Build positive interpretations of what is happening around us

We will work on restraint and delaying gratification

Taking personal responsibility

Strive for excellence

Organization and order of effective learning (for those that wish, we will also work on learning strategies)

Creating balance and calmness

Setting goals and achieving them
