SHINING WITH ADHD #219: Raising Capable, Confident ADHD Kids: A New Approach to Summer Break The Childhood Collective 5/13/2026 SUMMARY Summer can be a powerful time to help kids with ADHD feel capable, confident, and useful, not just “kept busy.” In this episode of Shining with ADHD , we are diving into real-life ideas to help your child see themselves as capable contributors. This episode is for parents who want their child to end the summer feeling proud of what they can do, not defeated by another set of expectations or 1,000 complaints of, "I'm bored!!". If you’re looking for a different approach to summer success for kids with ADHD, this conversation will meet you right where you are. MEET OUR TEAM We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you.
