1. To the mom who was told her child has “too much energy”…

Long before the gold medals, Simone Biles was just a kid with an ADHD diagnosis. Many saw it as a distraction, but she used that restless mind and impulsivity as her engine for greatness.

10 Calming Techniques You Can Use When Your Child With ADHD Is Having A Meltdown

By Lola M. Swaby
Let’s Be Real, when your child with ADHD is having a meltdown, it can feel like a tornado just tore through your house, complete with howling, flying toys, and lots of chaos. Been there? You’re not alone. Here are ten calming techniques you can use to bring things back from "DEFCON 1" to peaceful-ish parenting. 1. Get Low And Breathe Slow Kneel to your child with ADHD eye level and model deep, exaggerated breaths. Don’t worry if it feels silly, deep breathing is contagious ( in a good way ). 2.

By Lola M. Swaby

If you're raising a child with ADHD, you've probably experienced both extremes: peaceful moments of quiet entertainment and sudden meltdowns when the device turns off . Ever tiptoed into the room, quietly reaching to shut off a tablet like a stealthy ninja? You’re definitely not alone!
