IMAGINE
being sequestered in a small, messy room painted with loud colors and covered in funhouse mirrors. Imagine 10 television sets blasting on different channels and none of them can be muted or turned off. The door is locked from the outside and many different people are yelling at you through it. You are in the middle of this room so ramped up you can’t sit still but you have to do ugly math problems by hand while racing against the countdown of a dozen cuckoo clocks screaming right in your ear.
THIS IS ADHD.
being sequestered in a small, messy room painted with loud colors and covered in funhouse mirrors. Imagine 10 television sets blasting on different channels and none of them can be muted or turned off. The door is locked from the outside and many different people are yelling at you through it. You are in the middle of this room so ramped up you can’t sit still but you have to do ugly math problems by hand while racing against the countdown of a dozen cuckoo clocks screaming right in your ear.
THIS IS ADHD.
What it is About:
I am the mother of a creative and imaginative girl who defines the word “dreamer” but who tap dances her way through the chaos of ADHD on a stage built just exclusively for her by her ADHD mother. I handcrafted this stage based on a lifetime of my own experience and I made it to enable her dreams to take center stage and to shine despite her diagnosis. We perform together nightly in a routine choreographed in chaos. Chaos, however, is not to be feared.
I am Kai and I have ADHD and I am parenting a daughter with ADHD. Chaos is something we face together. And we do not let it limit us or define us - it is just something we live with. I am raising my daughter to maximize her performance by strengthening her creativity, learning to work through motivational roadblocks with self-discipline, and to minimize distractions by practicing mindfulness. It’s a tall order and we struggle all the time, but whenever we fall we get right back up and try again. Parenting an ADHD child is a hard task but thankfully I have had decades learning what works and what doesn’t so I’m qualified to guide her.
If you have a child with a new diagnosis, or you have one or you think you or your child may have ADHD, then this book is for you. It’s a light to help you navigate the darkness of chaos. This book can also be used for adults new to their diagnosis. We are all in the same boat.
ADHD is not to be feared; it is simply a different perspective and a different manner in which the mind thinks and behaves.
ADHD was not caused by your parenting and it didn’t manifest because of sugar or preservatives. Your child is not “bad” either. Chaos is not something we caught, ADHD is not something we have. ADHD is just a part of who we are and yes, we were born that way. So, in order to live productive lives we must adapt to this mindset and create the ideal environment for our child that meets the unique challenges and that fosters growth and empowerment.
