Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hi everyone, good afternoon on this beautiful sunny day I'm

Susan Kaufman I'm here for Attitude magazine's ADHD expert series

thank you so much for joining us today I don't need to remind any of you that living with attention deficit disorder is stressful,

especially because our minds can be so unsettled that it makes changing behaviors or checking things off our to-do list really difficult.

So we're very pleased today to welcome Mark Burton, MD, to discuss mindfulness for adults

living with ADHD, a beginner's guide. Dr Burton is going to explain mindfulness what it is, how it can improve mental clarity for adults, for parents, and for teachers.

And he'll give us some simple strategies for beginning to practice mindful awareness in daily life.

I think the important thing about a mindfulness as he will explain is that it is a technique

for helping you change behaviors and develop new practices so we can all live

with ADHD much more effectively.

And in that, he will talk about healthy sleep and diet habits as well as respond to your

questions about specific challenges that you have and

how mindfulness might help you address them.

Dr Burton's a board certified developmental pediatrician.

He practices medicine in Pleasant, New York, where he works with families, and that would

include parents, children, and adults of ADHD.

He's the author of The Family ADHD Solution, a book that integrates mindfulness with evidence-based ADHD care and

we were just very excited to learn from him that he's had a new book coming out in

September called mindful parenting for ADHD it's a workbook. So very specific practical help.

This book is already receiving glowing endorsements from, among others Russell Barclay,

and luminaries in the ADHD field. Dr. Burton has a terrific website
