12 Week Email Coaching Program

Would you like to get some extra help keeping your ADHD child on track this school year?

Is one on one coaching more than you need, or just something you’re not interested in?

As an ADD Coach, I find that most clients are usually doing very well after about 3 months of coaching.

In addition, the same problems seem to come up over and over again for most people with Attention Deficit Disorder:

Lifestyle issues, like diet, sleep patterns, etc.

Organizational skills

Time management

Classroom and study skills

I’ve taken these four most common issues and designed a do it yourself coaching program around them.

Each week, you will receive an email addressing a new skill for the week and building upon what you’ve done previously. In addition, some weeks you will receive bonus information - additional worksheets or reading material to help you get the most out of that week’s coaching.

At the end of 12 weeks, you should be seeing a positive change in your child and in how they manage their ADHD symptoms. You will have the added benefit of learning more about your child and how ADHD affects their life, as well as sharing a special experience with them.

This 12 Week Email Coaching Program was designed to be shared between parent and child, but is easily adaptable for older students as well.

Best of all, it’s only $12.00, or $1.00 a week! Order yours today and get started right away!

ADD and the World We Live In

Have you ever considered how perfectly your ADD child fits into today’s culture?

If your child is still in school, then maybe not. School can be one of those things that ADD students are ill suited for.

Think about it. It requires sitting quiet and still for hours on end. It requires lots of listening and paying attention. It requires deliberate, slow thought processes. And there’s very little “audience participation”.

In general, in many ways, school is being taught today the way it was taught centuries ago. George Washington sat in a school room and listened to the teacher speak and was expected to learn that way. Are things much different at your child’s school?

Contrast that with the way the rest of the world works. Instant messaging, cell phones, increasingly faster internet connections. Do this while you’re doing that. Information is coming at you from all sides and in various different ways, and most of it at an alarming speed.

This was the world Attention Deficit Disorder was made to live in. Except when the rest of the world realizes it, they won’t call it a deficit or a disorder anymore.

The Paradox of ADD

You will be glad to know (at least I was) that I heard back from the dad giving away products in exchange for a donation to the Autism charity. It turns out that I was right and that the links were broken (although they are fixed now). Yay for me.

This brings up something that I bet you’re unaware of, unless you have Attention Deficit Disorder.

People with ADHD are infamous for not paying attention. That’s why they call it Attention Deficit. Duh.

The paradox of ADD, though, is that we aren’t paying attention to one thing - we’re paying attention to many things. We missed 5 minutes of the teacher’s lecture because we were paying attention to 20 other things instead.

Your child may not be able to tell you what tomorrow’s math homework is, but they might be able to tell you who was cheating on their test, or copying someone else’s work, or who was passing notes or sleeping during class. They might even be able to tell you about the person that got pulled over outside the school.

If you go to Thom Hartmann’s website and read his theory of hunters and farmers, it will make much more sense.

Imagine yourself in the jungles of Africa hunting lions. Who would you want with you? The person who got all A’s in school but can only concentrate on one thing at a time, or the one who didn’t do as well in school but notices everything going on around him?

That’s what I thought. Go thank your kid for saving you from being lion lunch.
