Even when other treatments are useful\, they don’t always touch this key aspect of ADHD. Emotional reactivity can be incredibly disruptive for individuals and families\, undermining their own well-being\, resilience\, and social relationships. On the other hand\, several of the most proven benefits of mindfulness regards to stress\, anxiety\, and emotions. Because of that\, mindfulness has been shown useful in children with ADHD as young as seven years old\, specifically around emotion. What does ADHD have to do with emotion—and what works best in supporting adults and children in managing their emotions? How does mindfulness affect the emotional impact of ADHD—and can anyone with ADHD practice mindfulness?

Through a brief presentation\, experiential exercises\, and Q & A\, you will explore the interpersonal neurobiology of mindfulness and emotion\, and research behind healthy and positive emotional “contagions” spreading within families.  You will learn practical\, child-friendly applications of mindful awareness\, compassion\, and self-compassion\, along with techniques for adults and children to quiet their inner critics. \nThrough fun and simple activities\, you’ll investigate ways to develop the wisdom and clarity needed to figure out how to integrate mindfulness and compassion into your family routine.  If like many of us you have said to yourself “I’m the worst parent in the world”  – you are not alone.  And of course\, you’re not the worst parent either. In fact\, you only need to trust yourself and to be “good enough” for your children to thrive.
