Description
Amber Hawley is a licensed therapist and lifestyle strategist who works with entrepreneurial individuals and couples with the emotional side of business. She is the owner of a therapy practice in Silicon Valley, and the host of The Easily Distracted Entrepreneur and Couples Fix podcasts. She is also a wife, a Shameless Mom of three kids, and a Marvel movie super fan. Amber originally worked in the tech industry but her love for people led her to pursue a career where meaningful relationships are at the center of everything she does. A lot of Amber’s work is centered around neurodiversity, as she brings her experience of having ADHD, as well as parenting children with ADHD to much of what she does.
As soon as Amber and I got started in this conversation, I knew we would need more time. I wanted to make sure to dig into ADHD as it relates to women, as well as ADHD as it relates to kids. Amber was so kind to agree to turn this into a two-part conversation. This is Part 2 of our conversation - all about kids and ADHD. In Part 1 (Episode 696), we talked all about women and ADHD.
Whether or not you are parenting a child with ADHD, your kid is in school with kids who have ADHD. This conversation can help you as a parent to your own kids, but also as a parent who supports other kids in your community.
Listen in to hear Amber share:
3 Types of ADHD in kids and how they manifest differently
How her 2 children with ADHD exhibit very different symptoms
The importance of acknowledging ADHD as a dopamine deficiency in the brain
The connection between anxiety and ADHD
When to seek a professional assessment for your child’s mental health
How a diagnosis can be helpful, even a powerful tool, especially if your child has a strong tendency to mask their symptoms
The layers of making decisions around medicating your child who has ADHD and different kinds of medications that can support children who have ADHD
How all parents and kids can be supportive of neurodivergent kids in the community
Some of the superpowers and superstrengths of kids with ADHD
