Description

When a kid isn't acting the way we need them to--they won't put away their stuff or do their homework--it's so easy to slip into frustration and blame. We don't like it, but that little inside voice pops up saying, "why can't my kid just try harder?"


We often want to be patient, especially if they have a diagnosis like ADHD and we know it's not all their fault. 


But how can we be the caring adult we want to be? 


Listen to today's interview with therapist Alex Ibarra to learn how the EveryDay Strong framework can help you have more compassion and perspective for kids just trying their best.
