Coaching and Family Therapy

The reality for parents

  • ‘I tell my son dinner is in 10 mins and he never comes downstairs, I have to go and call him again or go up there and get him, when I get there, he’s just sat looking at the wall, it drives me mad’.

The need for coaching

  • Children with ADHD have executive function dysregulation, put simply they know that 10 minutes is longer than 5 minutes, but they have no sense of what that feels like.
  • ‘I tell my daughter that if she is good at school this week we can go to party play on Saturday, but she just isn’t interested’.
  • Children with ADHD have a limited or lagged time horizon, Saturday doesn’t exist in their world until Saturday. ADHD children have two timelines – now and not now, strategies help to expand this into their working memory.
  • ‘My son has forgotten his school bag again, ill just run it to the school for him’.
  • Helicopter parenting – is an enabling behaviour with no strategy to help your child fix this for themselves. – coaching improves family life.
