October is ADHD Awareness Month. American society has been conditioned to view Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as just that, being out of order. However, this series will highlight the amazing qualities of ADHD that have propelled actors, athletes, and incredibly successful world changers into greatness.
ADHD is a Superpower
You don’t believe me? Let’s ask Simone Biles, the GOAT of gymnastics!
The Takeaway
Biles made a powerful point: “If you make them think of [ADHD] as a problem, then they will think they have a problem…if they think of it as a superpower, then that’s kind of cool.” When we understand that there are benefits to having ADHD (and, YES, there are benefits!) and explore them with our kids (and adults), they may feel confident enough to hone their skills into powerful abilities. Take the time to nurture the greatness in your child!
