You can just say, Hey, are you climbing the wall of awful?
And hopefully the kid's like, Yeah, I think I am.
And you're like, Okay, cool.
How can I help?
Do you need me to get you a snack?
Do you need a hug?
Do you just need me to put the binders on the table for you?
What's what's helpful?
But often what parents do is they grab those binders, drop 'em on the table, sometimes slam them on the table, flip them open and say, Get to work, get going.
And now you've asked the kid to get to the other side of the wall of offal right now.
And the only option they have available to them is to hulk smash.
So they beat themselves up or yell at you.
in order to get to the other side of this emotional barrier that they probably don't even know is there.
So climbing it is just a lot of internal emotional work.
And there's ways you can make that easier with ADHD friendly strategies and mindfulness practices and that kind of stuff.
But it's internal work.
The other option is to put a door in it.
And that's just changing our emotional state.
Typically with external stuff.
So if I change my location of where I'm working.
