Dr. Sharon Saline is THE expert in understanding and managing ADHD and Mental Health issues in our children. In this online video, Leslie INTERVIEWS Dr. Saline on this CRITICAL TOPIC using questions submitted directly from the OOOC community of parents.
School is one of their biggest concerns and academic performance ranks high among their worries. For students with ADHD, learning disabilities, or twice-exceptionality who already struggle with school, this new, post-COVID data is especially alarming.
In this 1-hour online video, Dr. Saline, veteran psychologist, and author of “What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew: Working Together to Empower Kids for Success in School and Life,” will discuss how to address school anxiety and what parents and professionals can do to help kids reduce their worries. After reviewing the physiology and psychology of anxiety, she’ll show us how to recognize different types of anxiety, how it contributes to overwhelm, and when to seek professional help. Dr. Saline will also explain how to help kids reduce the patterns of procrastination, perfectionism, and negative thinking that interfere with motivation, goal-directed persistence, and productivity.
You’ll learn useful techniques to assist students in responding effectively to worries by reframing anxiety, talking back to ‘what ifs’, and doing more of what works. She’ll offer tools to assist your student to evaluate situations realistically, tolerate uncertainty, and feel more confident and calmer. You’ll walk away knowing how to foster the resilience that everybody needs in today’s complex world!

Understanding how anxiety works in the brain and body.

Actionable steps to take to reduce negative thinking, procrastination, and perfectionism that thwarts academic success.
