Dr. Dawn Psych MD

This piece was written in response to the 2014 Ferguson riots and the fact that it's still applicable 6 YEARS later says a lot. Please understand that there is much more depth to the following advice that I provide! This advice is generalized for “typical and developmentally appropriate” children, using “the standard of care” approach of what any competent mental health professional would give.
⁣
However, considering the protests and rioting in response to the most recent cases of Black lives taken at the hands of cops/racists (#GeorgeFloyd #BreonnaTaylor #ArmaudArbery #TonyMcdade #SayTheirNames). The media coverage has captured vivid images of unlawful rioting in lieu of the allegations of racism/unfair treatment and undo privilege. The media (TV, newspaper, social media, etc.) continuously reveal the emotional reactions of individual and group perspectives of what has occurred, often confounded and confused by those individuals/groups who participate in peaceful protests vs. those who participate in the destruction of communities. So imagine what a child sees/thinks/feels….they will likely be worried/upset.⁣
⁣
So….if you are a parent, how should you approach this topic with your child? How do you discuss a difficult topic, understanding the number of biases that can affect your and your child’s perception? Although this may not be easy for some, I encourage you to NOT avoid the conversation(s). It is important to make sure your child feels safe, so these conversations MUST occur at ANY age. It is particularly important to have these conversations with your child during their “critical influential years”, which some may argue occurs from birth to adulthood, in context of how our society and particularly, their friends, social media are powerful influences on their views and decision making.

DON'T MISS OUT!!!!!

Since schools around the globe have been cancelled, many children are home with packets or online assignments from school. Some with nothing at all! Here are some ways that you can simulate school at home and help your children learn during the #COVID19 pandemic:⁣
⁣
1. 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝(𝐫𝐞𝐧) 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭. Of course if they choose something silly, you can step in and correct them. Give them that freedom and build a schedule around that. If they've received assignments from their teachers, work with those. ⁣
⁣
2. 𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬. Make sure you have the appropriate textbooks (online or physical) or work packets for these subjects. You can also get creative and find websites with educational games and videos on the subject matter. Take this time to figure out how your child(ren) learn and what type of teaching style/tool is most effective.⁣
⁣
3. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐲. Now that you have the subjects and the tools, create a daily schedule. Don't forget to incorporate lunch and recess/break time. This schedule does not have to be permanent. Remember you are both still adjusting so it may have to be tweaked until it works.⁣
⁣
4. 𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐩 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢 "𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦". Make sure your child(ren) has a place to work with minimal distractions. Try to make the transition from traditional classroom to at-home classroom as seamless as possible. Expect them to be a little unfocused in the beginning. Their home where they unwind/play is now a place of learning.⁣
⁣
5. 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. Give your children time to do their work/activities on their own. Use this time to get some chores/work done.⁣
⁣
6. 𝐁𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭. Again, you guys are still trying to get adjusted to this new way of doing things. Your child(ren) might be a little resistant to having a parent as an educator and you might be overwhelmed by being a parent, educator and, in some cases, professional at home. ⁣
⁣
Things will get easier and we will all get through this by the Grace of God. We are strong enough to adapt to any situation! 🙏🏾💜| ⁣

Thank you, Ms. Moore! (5th grade teacher) 👍🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾

ADHD is about so much more than being hyper-active or "not being able to sit still". ADHD affects everyone differently. Some symptoms are more overt while other symptoms are more internal. No journey with ADHD is the same 💜

#ADHDFact: Did you know that boys and girls can display different ADHD symptoms? While boys facing ADHD tend to be more outward with their symptoms, such as trouble sitting still or being hyperactive, the symptoms for girls tend to be more inward. A girl facing ADHD may appear disorganized, is easier to upset or has wandering thoughts. Since these symptoms are not overt, they are often overlooked. #championyouradhd™

Here's a tip for all of my caregivers with ADHD children and adults with ADHD themselves: 𝐄𝐗𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐄⁣
⁣
Exercise is good for the body as well as the brain. When you exercise, your brain naturally releases dopamine which will in turn help you or your child with focusing and clearer thinking.⁣
⁣
For children, who are too young for the gym, you can encourage them to exercise by giving them toys that require physical activity like jumping rope, balls, bikes, scooters or putting them into a sport!

Adult ADHD can make the work day a little more stressful, especially if your job requires you to stay focused on tasks and meet deadlines. When you start to become overwhelmed and you feel like your mind is moving a mile a minute, take a step back and make note of everything you have to complete, then 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧.⁣
⁣
Take time to plan out what you need to accomplish for the week, then break that down day-by-day. Next, break 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 down by hour blocks (and don't forget lunch!!) Factor in a few breaks for yourself as well! It's common to get so overwhelmed by your workload that you start to procrastinate. Just break it all the way down and it will start to become more manageable 🙏🏾💙

Contrary to popular belief, there is more than one type of ADHD. There are in fact three types: predominantly 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞-𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞, predominantly 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 and a 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 of the two (the most common type). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Hyperactive-impulsive ADHD has symptoms that are more overt or external, as opposed to Inattentive ADHD, which has symptoms that are more covert or internal. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It is more common for girls and women with ADHD to display more inattentive symptoms. With ADHD, it's always important to know what signs to look for, especially the ones that can go undetected. #DrDawnPsychMD 💙
