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

Hey everyone, it's Susan Coffin here for Attitude magazine I'm hosting our

weekly ADHD experts broadcast and this webinar is the final in our four-part ADHD awareness webinar series.

Great topic, great speaker this week.

We have Kirk Martin of Celebrate Com here to talk about building confidence in our own parenting skills to build

confidence in our children, confidence that they really need because on average

research tells us that children with attention and executive function deficits by the

time they're 12 have received as many as 20,000 more negative messages than

their neuro as we call them neurotypical peers.

So these negative comments desperately need to be

counterbalanced with positive parenting techniques at home.

Kirk Barton of Celebrate Com is going to talk to us about what positive parenting looks like on a day-to-day basis,

what you can do, how it works to boost your children's self-esteem, and he'll be giving us strategies

for things like how to replace the constant negativity and messages around ADHD,

how to motivate kids who don't respond to consequences on an ordinary way, how to help accentuate kids positive qualities.

And this is a really important one, how to help our teachers help our children at school.

And then finally, how to stop power struggles by

understanding why your kids are bossy, cheats, are defiant, have meltdowns, and all

the other kinds of behavior issues that we all live with. Kirk, thank you so much for being here today.

We are always happy to have you at Attitude magazine.

We feel very fortunate about Kirk a little bit.

He is the founder of Celebrate Com.
