Read the newest blog post from Aimee Segars, M.A., LPC, NCC, our staff therapist.

--- ...A leading expert in the field of ADHD, Dr. Russell Barkley, has said ADHD is a disorder of executive functioning. To sum up this idea, as presented in his article titled, "The Important Role of Executive Functioning and Self-Regulation in ADHD,” ADHD is a disorder of self-regulation. Self-regulation involves using mental skills to control our actions and “manage ourselves effectively so as to attain our goals and see to our long-term welfare." ---

Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child tells us executive functioning is a set of life skills which prepare us to manage school/work, friendships, and family from early childhood well into adulthood.

Thank you Resilient Little Hearts for this great reminder!

Young children haven’t yet developed the neurological capacity of self-regulation. ⁣

The part of our brain that is responsible for self-control (the pre-frontal cortex), doesn’t completely develop until young adulthood. ⁣

This means it’s normal when children don’t have words to explain their feelings (& when there are emotional outbursts or meltdowns). ⁣
⁣
This is not a sign of “bad parenting”, it is a sign of normal childhood 💛⁣
⁣
Over time, as we continue to cultivate a connected relationship with them; & model emotional health by talking about feelings, ⁣they will develop healthy expressions of their emotions. ⁣

We support them to develop self-regulation through relationships with safe adults (co-regulation) 💛
