Won’t Sit Still
The benefits of this bonding session will be guidance to pivot from embarrassment or anxiety to compassion for your child. You can take a different path from reactivity to reflection. You can notice how high energy can depend on the settings, it can cause trouble in the classroom but create success in other settings such as sports or play.
Question 1 of 5
What situation causes you the most stress when your child won’t sit still?
Why this matters
Focusing on a specific problem rather than a global problem may reduce learned helplessness which is a risk factor for depression. For example there may be benefits for trying to solve for a specific symptom of ADHD rather than solving a global problem such as ADHD as a global diagnosis. It may also be a specific time of day or task that is most disruptive for your child.
