Summary

It’s here! We’re celebrating the release of our very first children’s book, All You Can Be with ADHD, with an episode families can enjoy together! When we set out to write All You Can Be with ADHD, our goal was simple: To help kids feel proud of how their brains work. We wanted them to see their energy, focus, imagination, and even their distractions as strengths — not shortcomings. Sure, ADHD can bring challenges but it’s got some pretty cool stuff too!

In this episode, we read a few pages from the book and share some amazing messages from ADHD kids, like 10-year-old Gordon (who may be my most favorite Laugh Line caller yet). We also talk about how to handle hobbies that fizzle out, what it means to find your own motivation, and how every superpower needs a little practice. I even share my “Three Piece Nuggets” on what I hope every kid takes away from the book. (If you're a kid with ADHD, know that Kim and I are rooting for you, and we cannot wait to hear all the great things you accomplish!)

So grab your kids and join us for a journey into the ADHD brain—full of creativity, curiosity, and possibilities! We love to hear from you, leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com. You can also watch our podcast on YouTube.
