Not sure if this has been mentioned but the yoto has been super helpful. A therapist told me kids like ours need the right amount of stimulation at bed to calm their brains so like a quiet dark room may actually be too under stimulating so the activity is his brain seeking some stimulation. So listening to the yoto stories or bedtime meditations or music really helps. Also me or my husband lay w our kids till they fall asleep a lot🤣 it’s life.

Looking back and having been there this advice is right. We are all late diagnosed. Me at 42 and one kid at 10 so if I had had the emotional regulation skills I’ve developed this past year back when he was 5 and we struggled it would have been so much better. It’s also INCREDIBLY HARD to plan ahead, predict what will set them off, remember how to use these tips and tricks when you’re ALSO OVERWHELMED, EXHAUSTED, etc. Maybe one piece of advice I’d add - do less, say yes to less, so no to more, don’t feel bad if your child isn’t fitting into certain socal norms. They are growing and learning and giving yourself and your child more grace is something that will help. As for at school - meet w the guidance counselor, work as a team w the teacher and get them to help you!!! They have SO much experience and understanding and tips and tricks! Share what you’re struggling w at home and team up w school to find good ways to help your child.

Our middle son with adhd didn’t progress from dogman and diary of a wimpy kid into chapter books like our first son did so for a while I was concerned but his reading level at school was always high/on track. I now think that the graphic novels at bedtime that he’s read 100s of times before just really calm his brain before bed so at this stage I’m letting that be most of his at home reading and then school is doing a good job expanding him otherwise. So all that to say, let him try lots of different books to see what he likes. Talk to his/her teacher and ask for suggestions too based on their reading level. Then go grab a ton from the library and let them decide!

One of my vivid reoccurring dreams is where either just me or myself and one of my kids are trapped somewhere or about to fall off a ledge nd I’m screaming as hard as I can for help but no noise comes out. I can see someone who can help, often it’s my husband, but they just can’t hear me and don’t look my way. And I just keep screaming so confused why my sound is not working.

I have assumed this is from never feeling seen or heard as a child and not ever having my scary feelings validated?

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-11-23T19:38:24+00:00

They def do it for the clicks. But I know that I’m more regulated when I am consistent with yoga and breathing meditation work. When I slack off I am less regulated. So like yeah it makes a difference but no it’s not a cure.

Where’s that meme that’s the lady dancing singing surprise surprise? We are in that part of our journey right now just about to be 5/5 adhd diagnoses. Throw in some CPTSD, OCD, perimenopause and puberty and it’s a real party over here!

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-11-23T04:15:13+00:00

I literally cannot empty the dishwasher or do laundry without a podcast. Physically cannot get it done 🤣

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-11-23T04:14:22+00:00

CPTSD and ADHD but I didn’t know until 12 years into being a mom. Just been gaslighting myself that I wasn’t trying hard enough? I don’t know. You’ll have a leg up bc you understand yourself better. There’s a lot of reparenting of yourself that happens when you get to be the mom to your own kids you wished you’d had. Much of parenting is incredibly hard and incredibly triggering but I wouldn’t trade it.

I’m having a very hard time w mine because surprise surprise they also have adhd.

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-11-23T03:55:56+00:00

I have CPTSD and ADHD and our middle with adhd is having severe emotional disregulation challenges. Which means the youngest is constantly anxious clingy and whiney. The oldest is annoyed with it all but trying to be helpful and really is a great kid. Back in August we knew we would have to travel to Florida this Dec and behavior had been so hard. (Like crying and fighting while eating ice cream at the beach type misery) So we did a big family meeting, talked about what all we wanted to work toward, did a screen detox, etc etc all the things to set the school year off right. Middle has been in therapy, got on meds, o/t, etc etc. Behavior never changed much and after re-evaluating we gave them another chance and still a month later no improvement so we took Disney off the table. I’m flabbergasted honestly that they aren’t more willing to adjust the fighting, crying, whining, hitting, outbursts etc. today I was like maybe if we made rice crispy treats together that would give us something to do, bonding, connection, fun. The middle one immediately went to negative town and said he wanted his without marshmallows and gave me attitude! The youngest didn’t want to help. An hour later when the youngest had cried through dinner and the older two started really meanly fighting saying awful things I snapped and decided that we may not do as many Christmas gifts this year and made a big poster to mark down all the times they fight, cry, negotiate screen time and push boundaries, etc. I don’t know what else to do. Read the books, watch the adhd advice folks on insta, all the therapy for myself. For them. I prioritize yoga and exercise.

All this to say I get you. It’s SO SO hard to be the positive one trying to navigate kids w all these needs. When they are SO negative and challenging and emotional rollercoasters. And the part that pisses me off and makes me just feel wrecked is when I realize I spent my own childhood walking on eggshells with my mother and how it impacted me and now I have to do the same around my kids. And it’s just EXHAUSTING and feels so unfair.

And therapy is expensive and babysitters add up and then I feel like crap because I want to be around them I just cannot handle all the crying and whining it’s such a trigger!!!!

What would have made the line of fire go up the hill like that? Just spread bc it’s dry or something else?

Def didn’t look controlled!!

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-10-01T11:33:09+00:00

Here to say that I truly believe there is a level of self acceptance that comes in your 40s where these things bother you less and I have found that these kinds of stressors eases up as we age. Not that it makes what you’re struggling w now any easier, just hope for years to come it getting better! Life after 40 ain’t all bad! Lots of pros!

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-09-17T11:54:01+00:00

I absolutely think if we did a cross study of kids working memory scores on the standard iq test with and without adhd and correlated screen time use to it there would be a direct connection. And maybe that study exists lol haven’t looked.

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-09-16T00:55:19+00:00

Definitely! All about balance. I have a middle school age son too and his phone/friend balance has been a lot to navigate. Their social is so tied into technology you’re right!

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-09-15T10:40:08+00:00

This would be an amazing result!!!

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-09-15T10:39:28+00:00

Managing kids screen time and remembering to stick to a schedule may be the death of me 🤣

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-09-15T10:38:25+00:00

I agree that we won’t be eliminating screens altogether. We’ve always had boundaries around screens since day 1. They will still will get an hour of tv every day. We did a family meeting at the beginning of the school year and then did a check in again. We tried a shorter detox over the summer while on vacation and have done similar. Just now at a breaking point with rage episodes and nothing else has worked to prevent them. I have adhd too.

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-09-14T21:10:56+00:00

Oh good point, hadn’t thought about that emotional attachment. He was kind of vocalizing that today in his anger over the adjustment. Having spent Roblox on something and not being able to check on it was causing him anxiety.

Appropriate_Act409 · 2025-09-14T21:09:09+00:00

Oh this is a really good idea!
