If you missed the January ADHDKC Parent Event, “How to Teach Kids When They Don’t Care,” don’t fret! You can watch it here or listen to it on your favorite podcast platform, just look for ADHD KC Conversations or check out our latest newsletter for links. The newsletter also has an AI-generated transcript if you prefer to read rather than listen.
We’re excited to share the recording of Lauren Dreher’s powerful and relatable talk, where she dives into the realities of living with ADHD. Diagnosed later in life, Lauren uses her personal stories to help parents understand that a child’s frustrating behavior, like getting distracted or struggling to start task, are neither intentional nor fully under their control.
Through humor and empathy, Lauren sheds light on why these behaviors happen and offers practical strategies to identify and implement the right supports, helping kids (and adults!) navigate life more productively.
Lauren’s contact information is available on her website: Forged by Fire.
📌 A Quick Note About the Recording:
You’ll notice the recording starts a few minutes into the talk. No, it wasn’t an ADHD moment (though, let’s be honest, it could have been!). The real story? Jeremy, our Zoom guru, was mid-flight due to a delay and couldn’t log in until landing. Talk about multitasking under pressure!
But don’t worry—we’ve included the missing slides before the recording starts, so you won’t miss a thing. You can also find all of the slides in the box below:
