Learning Differences Conference at the Harvard Graduate School of Education

When worrying takes over: Helping kids with ADHD overcome anxiety and build resiliency

Living in a world that’s increasingly unpredictable, today’s kids are more anxious than ever before. For kids with ADHD, worry and fear can increase their agitation, distractedness and impulsivity and make things seem worse than they are. Dr. Saline, author of What your ADHD child wishes you knew: Working together to empower kids in school and life, discusses how anxiety works and what parents, coaches and clinicians can do to help kids reduce their worries. After reviewing the physiology and psychology of anxiety, she will show you how to help kids with ADHD change their relationship to worry and avoid the pitfalls of negative thinking. Instead of reassurance and rationalization, you will learn techniques for separating the person from the anxiety, talking to the worry itself and creating effective responses to ‘what ifs’. Dr. Saline shares excerpts from interviews with kids with ADHD about issues such as insomnia, social concerns and avoidance to give you unusual insight into their perspectives. She offers tools for teaching them how to realistically evaluate situations, tolerate uncertainty and calm down. When young people with ADHD gain these skills, they bounce back confidently with more independence and much less worry.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe how anxiety works in the brain and body and its relationship to executive functioning skills

2. Identify and reduce patterns of negative thinking

3. Develop the ability to externalize anxiety and reduce its influence

4. Learn practical tools for dealing with kids’ specific worries

5. Identify and develop areas of resiliency

Dates: Dr. Saline’s talk is on March 20, 2020.

Scattered Kids: Motivating Out-Of-The-Box Thinkers

Workshop at the 2020 Psychotherapy Networker Symposium

Many children and teens with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or learning disabilities have a tough time starting and completing schoolwork or other necessary tasks. Successfully motivating them involves using a strength-based, collaborative approach that includes them in creating solutions to daily challenges. These young, out-of-the-box thinkers then develop personal accountability and independence through meaningful routines with appropriate levels of adult support. In this workshop, you’ll learn which executive functioning skills contribute to motivation, why procrastination and avoidance occur, and how to create effective and lasting strategies for improvement. You’ll discover how to:

• Teach kids goal-directed persistence, time management, and organizational skills that stick
• Create meaningful, collaborative incentives and effective routines that help kids make positive long- and short-term choices about their tasks
• Determine appropriate levels of parent participation in kids’ school work, peer relationships, activities, and chores

Date: March 22, 2020

Today’s children and teens with ADHD are overwhelmed and struggling to keep up. Likewise, many helping professionals struggle with the mix of biology, behavior and emotion in kids and families living with ADHD. Dr. Saline will offer a way to decipher these factors through the use of both the voices of kids and her integrative 5C’s – self-Control, Compassion, Collaboration, Consistency, and Celebration – providing participants with a problem-solving process that strengthens executive function, changes behavioral patterns, promotes insight, and reduces conflict.

Dates: March 27, 2020.
