    Episode 24: Helping Kids with ADHD Manage Impulsivity
    Mar 18 2026
    In this episode of ADHD Connect, Dr. Tish Taylor explores one of the most common challenges for children and teens with ADHD: impulsivity. Impulsive behaviors can show up in many ways, including:
    • Blurting out or interrupting
    • Struggling with personal space
    • Attention-seeking behaviors
    • Acting without thinking through consequences

    While these moments can be frustrating, they’re also opportunities to teach important skills. In this episode, you’ll learn practical tools to help kids pause, think, and make more thoughtful choices:
    • “Stop, Think, Go” to support better decision-making
    • How to teach a social filter (thinking vs. saying)
    • Ways to reinforce positive behaviors
    • Simple strategies to help kids understand consequences
    • Tools to build perspective-taking and empathy

    Dr. Taylor also explores what may be driving impulsive behavior, including sensory needs, attention-seeking, and the desire to fit in with peers, so you can respond with more clarity and confidence. If you’re a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this episode will give you realistic, practical strategies you can start using right away.

  • Episode 23: Changing the ADHD Conversation at Home and School

    Episode 23: Changing the ADHD Conversation at Home and School
    Mar 4 2026
    How we talk about ADHD shapes how children understand themselves. In this episode of ADHD Connect, Dr. Tish Taylor explores a question many parents and educators don’t often stop to ask: How are we thinking about ADHD, and is that way of thinking actually helping our kids? Some children hear messages like “I can’t help it, it’s my ADHD.” Others hear “You’re just making excuses.” Neither approach gives kids what they truly need to grow. Dr. Taylor explains a more helpful way to understand ADHD as a neurodevelopmental lag in executive functioning and attention, and why the goal isn’t lowering expectations, or pushing through with shame, but building capacity over time.

    You’ll learn:
    • Why the language we use about ADHD matters
    • How a “not yet” mindset can shift motivation and confidence
    • What scaffolding means and how it helps children succeed
    • Practical examples of adjusting environments to support kids with ADHD
    • Why progress often happens when adults and children work together to find what works
    Dr. Tish Taylor also discusses how other challenges, like anxiety, sleep issues, learning differences, or mood concerns, can sometimes be part of the picture and affect how ADHD shows up. This episode offers a calmer, more constructive framework: ADHD may make some things harder, but it doesn’t have to make them impossible. If you're a parent, educator, or caregiver trying to support a child with ADHD, this conversation will help you shift from frustration to strategy, and from limitation to possibility.

    Episode 22: Managing Hyperactivity in Children and Teens with ADHD
    Feb 18 2026
    When your child has more energy than the situation seems to allow, it can feel exhausting — at home, in the classroom, at sports practices, or even during family outings. In this episode of ADHD Connect, Dr. Tish Taylor talks about hyperactivity in children and teens and offers practical, realistic strategies you can begin using right away.

    You’ll learn:
    • Why predictable routines help reduce behavioral flare-ups
    • How planned physical activity can make focus easier
    • The difference between whole-body movement and small fidgets — and when to use each
    • Simple mindfulness tools that build self-awareness over time
    • How to prepare for challenging settings like church, sporting events, or family gatherings
    • In-the-moment strategies that lower frustration for both you and your child
    This episode isn’t about stopping your child’s energy — it’s about understanding it and channeling it in ways that work. With the right supports in place, hyperactivity becomes more manageable, transitions get smoother, and everyone feels more successful. If you’ve ever thought, “Why is this so hard?” — this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone, and there are practical ways forward.
