In this episode, Ryan and Mike take on one of the most hotly debated topics in the ADHD parenting space: do kids with ADHD actually need consequences? Social media influencers say no — just connection, co-regulation, and emotional validation.
Highlighted moments
ADHD is a disorder of performance, not knowledge. That means behavior is governed much more by immediate consequences than by what a child understands.
“if you want to see an ADHD child or teen fail, put them in an environment with no consequences.”
“warmth alone was not associated with the same improvements in behavior.”
“being able to talk about feelings is not the same as being able to self-regulate and manage behavior in the moment.”
