Utter nonsense. If anything you should be challenging these kids more. Their brains are functioning at a much higher level than you think. They just don't fit into your box of expectations for the "right" behavior in a school setting completely abnormal to the child's brain.
Dr. Russell Barkley drops the ADHD reality check most parents miss: On average, kids with ADHD are 30% behind in executive functioning (self-control, persistence, organization, emotional regulation).
A 10-year-old? Treat them like a 7-year-old for responsibility, homework, chores, independence.
A 16-year-old? Driving = handing keys to an 11-year-old.
An 18-year-old in college? Design the campus like it's for 12-year-olds: more accountability, group study with mentors, frequent check-ins, substance-free dorms.
It's not "immaturity" or "laziness"โit's a developmental lag in the brain's CEO system. Expecting chronological-age performance without accommodations creates conflict, failure, shame.
Barkley blunt: If you're demanding more without adjusting the environment, you're the problemโlike pushing a dyslexic kid to read normally.
Real examples hit hard: No unsupervised babysitting for a 14-year-old (exec age ~9โ10). Legal tragedies show why.
Raw 3:50 clip below. Game-changer for parents, teachers, anyone supporting ADHD.
The 30% rule reframes everything: Lower expectations to executive age, scaffold the environment, watch competence emerge.
Parents of ADHD kids: What's one area (driving, chores, college, babysitting) where applying this 30% shift changed your approachโor could? Drop your story below.
@paxtrader777@MarioNawfal Just trying to help you honor your previous intentions to stop posting one sided political takes that only serve to divide. I did not attack you yet you react like an emotional child. These behaviors aren't normal for a guy who prays the rosary and pretends to serve god
@paxtrader777@MarioNawfal I think your god would be highly disappointed in you right now. Even your old trading buddies are sick of your political shit ๐
@paxtrader777@MarioNawfal This was a good idea bc your pol takes expose your overly emotional side that I'd guess is part of what made you go bankrupt so many times. Pray on it. Your rosary is soaked in blood now.
@paxtrader777@MarioNawfal Not to insult. I enjoy your views on markets and appreciate the experience you share, but you made a very sensitive post the other day about no pol discussions anymore...
