About this episode

This episode discusses the aggressive behaviors of ADHD children during dysregulated moments and offers insights and strategies for parents.

Have you noticed that when your ADHD kid is dysregulated it comes out as being plain nasty?! For lack of a better word, they turn into a total asshole! New EEG research shows that 96% of hyperactive-impulsive ADHD kids have a significant difference in frontal lobe activity during frustrating moments. And the net result is anger and aggression. Of that 96%, 63% is severe. This is important to note, because in neurotypical children, this outcome is 12%. This tells us it's less a behavior choice and more of a wiring reality. To me, this is empowering. Because now we know more and we can do more with this information. Inside this episode I share some critical mindset shifts as well as practical ways we can start to move the needle forward.
