But in fact the opposite is true, that giving your child an understanding of the nature of their struggles
often provides relief and I've seen it in my practice and motivates that child to persist when things get tough.
No, it's not.
And and I think it varies.
And I think your question was when do you disclose a diagnosis and how do you disclose it?
And that will differ depending on the child's struggles.
It'll differ depending on the child's age, the family culture, the family environment.
There are a number of factors to consider.
And the child's approach and personality.
Is this a child who's gonna go to school and tell everybody, Hey, I have ADHD and that's why I'm doing this?
And maybe they're not old enough to accept that diagnosis.
And maybe you don't tell them it's ADHD.
Maybe you say, you know what, you're having a lot of trouble with attention and focus.
That's an area of struggle for you, but you're really good at these other things.
And we just wanted you to get some help in that area.
And that's where the relief comes in because there's some validation in that where kids will say, okay, it's not that I'm not working hard enough.
It's not that I'm lazy.
It's that my brain works differently and this particular thing is harder for me, or these particular areas are harder for me.
But when you're sharing that information, you simultaneously have to share what their strengths are, what their talents are, because kids are not their weaknesses.
There's so much more.
