How Do You Reassure Your Anxious Child When You’re Scared, Too?
“As caregivers, we want to show up fully for our children in these troubled times. It’s natural to want to protect them, even as we struggle to comfort ourselves. Our kids have this amazing antenna that can pick up on and absorb our stress. They notice when we’re feeling worried or a little bit off balance. And at this time when so many of us are feeling powerless and helpless by school shootings and gun violence, our kids are detecting and intensifying those emotions.” Learn more tips for child and adult anxiety in Dr. Saline’s article on ADDitude.com:

Artı Enstitü: DEHB ve Üretken Erteleme (ADHD and Productive Procrastination)
“Gecikme nasıl durdurulur? Erteleme davranışı, bir şeylere başlamayı ve bitirmeyi doğal olarak zorlaştıran bir durum olarak DEHB’li bireyleri zayıf düşürebilir. Erteleme davranışı gösteren bireylerin çoğu nadiren zamanlarını hiçbir şey yapmadan harcarlar. Bunun yerine, daha karmaşık, daha zor işlerden ziyade daha kolay görevlere odaklanırlar. Bu “üretken ertelemeyi” azaltmak, öz-düzenleme, organizasyon ve önceliklendirmeyi geliştirmeye dayanır. Gerçekte başarabileceğiniz şeyleri yapamayacağınızı söyleyen olumsuz iç konuşmayı sınırlamak, sizi Bilinçlendirmeye yönlendirecektir.”

ADDitude ‘Mental Health Out Loud’ Webinar – Trauma, Anxiety, School Violence & More
Trauma, Anxiety, School Violence & More https://youtu.be/sGXD2TfOqTU “In December 2021, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an unprecedented public advisory regarding the youth mental health crisis in America, which took root before COVID but has grown alarmingly more severe in the last two years. Roughly 1 in 5 children ages 3 to 17 in the U.S. has a mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral disorder. And 1 in 3 high school students reports persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. The COVID pandemic has disrupted the lives of all children, but its adverse effects are particularly severe for children and teens with disabilities, for racial and ethnic minorities, for LGBTQ+ youth, and for other young people in vulnerable populations. Add to all of this yet another horrific school shooting — this time the murder of 19 students and 2 teachers in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24 — and many parents are justifiably worried.
- How do we talk with our neurodivergent kids without increasing their anxiety?
- How can I make them feel safe without lying to them?
- Is my child’s level of worry normal?
- What if my teen is just apparently numb, avoiding any discussion of hard topics?
- How can we keep our kids safe, above all else?
This conversation with Sharon Saline, Psy.D., touches on all these important and immediate mental health concerns. Dr. Saline discusses “small t” traumas from repeated exposure to stresses. In addition, she discusses the dissociation and numbness that often accompanies these traumas, Compassion fatigue, and ways to move forward in the wake of a tragedy or family stress, . She also answers questions from the ADDitude audience — including questions submitted prior to and during the live event.”

Dr. Sharon Saline Answers Questions About How to Help Our Autistic Young Adults Get Things Done
“We want to meet our kids where they are. And then I think one of the 12 things that may not be but we want to meet our kids where they are rather than where they think they should be. You know, and I think that this is really a challenge for all of us. Whether we are parenting neurotypical or neurodivergent kids. We want to be able to, we have to be able to put aside the things that we think should be this way or the advice that we have and let kids figure it out.” – Dr. Sharon Saline
ADDitude Mag – “Why Is Accepting Compliments So Difficult for My Child?”
“Your compliments are intended to convey your pride and enthusiasm about your son’s effort. He dismisses them because of shame, low self-esteem, and his overactive inner critic. If we can address these issues, it will be easier for him to accept your praise.”

ADDitude Mag – “Working Memory vs. Short-Term Memory: What’s the Difference?”
“While there’s some debate in the field about this, it’s generally held that short-term memory is super quick: It stores information briefly. Working memory is related to short-term memory, but it lasts slightly longer and is involved in the manipulation of information.”
