An ADHD Aha! on Managing Time

by Jeff Copper, ADHD and Attention Coach

As an ADHD and attention coach, I try to focus on paying attention to what YOU'RE paying attention to. I focus on individuality, and more importantly, I focus on achieving the Aha! Not everyone has the Aha! moment at quite the same time or in the same way. For some, it comes quickly and suddenly while for others there may be a gradual process or buildup that leads to an Aha! moment.

One of my clients, Laura, was gracious enough to share her experience that led to her Aha! moment and also led to the development of a time management system that works wonders for her. Click here for more.

In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, guest host Caroline Maguire (www.necoaching.com) and ADHD parenting expert Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com) discuss the parent's dilemma: How many more years do you want to shield your ADHD child from the realities of life?
