Short transcript excerpt of Dr. Kevin Skinner emphasizing that children—particularly those with ADHD—thrive when they feel understood rather than judged. He recommends increasing awareness, explaining experiences to children, and building community support (e.g., CHADD/chadd.org) for parents and educators to share strategies and communication approaches.

I would want to reemphasize is we know that children do better when they are understood rather than feeling judged. And so that understanding is going to go back to the messaging that we've already talked about. But the more awareness we have of what they're experiencing and helping them understand it, it's just so much better for them. The other part of it is working with the community, because there is a community of people who are also dealing with adhd. So keep get a group of people. There's an organization like C H a d d chad.org that has phenomenal resources for parents, for people who are dealing with adhd. So creating a community of support. So we're understanding what are best strategies, what are best ideas on how to communicate with teachers, how to work with the community.
