Great idea of breaking your days into quarters. This allows for a reset (or 2 or 3) if the day isn’t going as planned.

Thanks for the advice! Making It Work With ADHD

How do you manage a bad moment within your day? Is this something that could help you reframe your thoughts? Please share in the comments.

When we have a bad moment we seem to write off the rest of the day. What if we saw the day in parts instead of a whole, so that if one part is not what we wanted we can start over in the next part? I really like this because we tend to be all or nothing. This still allows us to write off the part that didn’t work but gives us space to try in another.

What are your thoughts on seeing your day in quarters?

“ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood, a chronic pediatric condition that can persist into adulthood. The condition is treatable, but racial and/or ethnic minority families experience disproportionate barriers to treatment engagement.

This study is the first to provide a comprehensive framework with a developmental trajectory navigated by parents and providers together.

The six stages of engagement that the research team identified are:

1. Normalization & Hesitation
2. Stigmatization & Fear
3. Action & Advocacy
4. Communications & Navigation
5. Care & Validation
6. Preparation & Transition
