And what the school will, I can almost guarantee 99% of the time with a girl whose parents think she has ADHD, the school will come back and say, oh, but they're no trouble at school.
They, you know, they're perfect child.
They are a pleasure to have in class.
And the parents say, well, yes, and then they get home and there's complete meltdown, complete overwhelm.
And it's like having two different children.
that child is likely masking at school because that's what girls are conditioned to do from an early age, to fit in with societal norms and to fit in with what we expect of girls.
You know, I've got boys, I've got three children, I've got boys and two boys and a girl, and I'm guilty of this.
You know, I know all this and I'm still guilty of it.
I expected my daughter, when I went to an appointment at the doctor's or whatever, to sit and colour quietly and not disturb anything.
Equally, when I had my son...
And he was climbing around the waiting room and, you know, colouring on things he shouldn't be and all the rest of it.
Obviously, that wasn't great, but I thought, well, he's a boy.
That's what boys do.
And so we sort of, we condition girls and we do it unconsciously.
You know, we all do it unconsciously, I think.
And that's how girls grow up.
And then they become adolescents who then sort of start to question themselves.
And why am I struggling?
What's different?
And that has a real sort of burden on self-esteem.
