He has been struggling with sleep and finds himself waking up frustrated. We try to figure out what could be causing his sleep issues, and we give him some tips. [17:22] - Drew asks if it's possible to have attention focused in multiple places at once. Brendan and I explain why it's not possible to be good at multitasking. Brendan shares his thoughts on this topic. [28:20] - Sarah is looking for advice on how to show her husband that the behaviors of their daughter with ADHD are not a matter of "not caring." We talk about helping her husband see things from a different perspective and trying to create better habits for children (and ourselves). [44:22] - Mike joins the call to ask about money. Finances are something he struggles with but isn't sure how to unload that responsibility. Brendan and I talk with him about some solutions. [55:58] - Kenya wonders why just thinking about writing goals down causes anxiety. Brendan talks about how he plays with language, and sometimes ADHD wins. This question allows me to go on a rant. [1:04:47] - I share a new strategy to get to bed at a better time. Brendan talks about a new snack that helps him avoid unhealthy snacks.
