Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is an executive functioning challenge.  Executive functioning challenges make it difficult to organize, plan, and self-regulate.  Managing money requires executive functioning.  In this Part 1 of a 3-part series, Attention Talk Radio host and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) talks about the roles that self-regulation and working memory play in managing money specifically at the point of performance (that is, at the register or shopping cart). If you have ADHD and struggle with managing money, this is a show you won't want to miss. See Part 2: http://tobtr.com/11810487 and Part 3: http://tobtr.com/11810493.

What is a habit? Are habits good for those with ADHD? Why are habits so hard to build if you have ADHD? Dr. Russell Barkley talks about the ADHD brain as being a two-level system – the automatic brain and the executive functioning brain. He articulates how the executive functioning brain must effortfully override the automatic brain. In this edition of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) talks about Dr. Barkley's concept and uses it as a context to help those with ADHD understand why habits are very helpful for those with ADHD but also why it is so hard to develop habits if you have ADHD.

In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) interviews Tom Bergeron of Inventive Labs (www.inventivelabs.org) about the idea of taking a gap year in college and taking a deep dive into finding a career that would set you up for success.

If you read most of the theories on parenting kids with ADHD, many of them come down to the collaborative conversation. It's easy to define, easy to discuss, but very difficult to execute. In this episode, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) interviews parent advisor and coach Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com) around the challenges of executing collaborative conversations with complex kids. Most theorists explain it and assume that parents will execute it on their own. Jeff and Elaine talk about the value of getting some help with it. After all, complex kids are outliers; they're not mainstream. How to have that conversation is as unique as the individual in the family. If you're an ADHD parent and are frustrated, this is a show you won't want to miss.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit diso

Parenting of ADHD and complex kids is difficult. Why? Because, they're complicated.  Really complicated. Tips, tricks, strategies, and systems often work for neurotypicals, but do they work for complex kids? As much as we want them to, they don't.  So what is a parent to do? It comes down to problem-solving. In this episode ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) interviews parent coach and advisor Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com). Elaine shares what she knows that most ADHD parents don't… that it’s all about the problem-solving process and the mindset for solving problems as a process. If you are an ADHD parent drowning in a sea  of strategies and solutions that are simply not working, this might not be a topic you want to hear, but it is a topic you need to hear.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention de
