A Self-Confidence Toolkit for Parents

Children with ADHD endure frequent criticism or negative feedback from parents, teachers, other adults, and peers, and this steady stream of judgment often degrades their self-esteem. When emotional outbursts, poor social skills, and disorganization are misunderstood in school and at home, that may lead kids to internalize negative beliefs about themselves.

This webinar will offer age-appropriate practical tools to help adults build resilience and self-confidence in children with ADHD, from elementary school through high school. Participants will learn how to use supportive language, foster self-advocacy in their children, and apply strategies that make a lasting impact.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• • Why children with ADHD are prone to low self-esteem and how negative thinking patterns impact kids all the way through adulthood
  • About successful parenting strategies to build self-confidence across different age groups, including what to say and what is well-meaning but should be avoided
  • Practical scripts to teach kids how to advocate for themselves, manage criticism, and push back against stigma
  • Effective ways for parents to collaborate with schools and other professionals in supporting your child’s resilience and self-esteem
  • Subtle approaches to communicate with and educate others (e.g., coaches, other caregivers, extended family members) to incorporate more inclusive and compassionate language
