Fidgeting
The benefits of this bonding session are that it may offer a reframe on fidgeting and create a new narrative by recalling times you were proud of your child. You can take a new path toward understanding what your child needs and find workable solutions. You can look for solutions rather than problems to stay connected to your child.
Question 1 of 5
Which situation creates the most stress for you when your child is fidgeting?
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.
