What is ADHD and how does it differ from ADD?
We spend a ton of time. Амі, кід, фристан, спен а та тон от школ. Adults, a ton of time at work. And in our society Work and school are supposed to look a certain way and that way is not conducive to an ADHD brain. And so we are considered disruptive troublemakers, out of control, that sort of thing, because we don't just sit still, pay attention, and shut up.
Welcome to the Tilt Parenting Podcast, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Ebbie Rieber, and today's guest is ADHD coach Margot Crane Lauria. Margaret is the founder of Block to Brilliant, and she works one-on-one with families dealing with ADHD, both in person and virtually, leads workshops, and recently Launched the ADHD video club for parents raising kids with ADHD, which Margaret will tell you about during our interview. I know that a lot of our families at Tilt have children with ADHD, so I'm especially excited to share this conversation with you. Amarket herself has ADHD and her perspective on the gifts that come along with this diagnosis is so positive and refreshing.

Hello everyone, it's Debbie Rever here with the Tilt Parenting Podcast, and I'm very excited to be bringing Margaret Crane Laurea to the show today. Margaret is an ADHD coach and ADHD positive discipline trainer, a 30 year kindergarten through college teacher and specialist in parenting and teaching neuro awesome students. I love that phrase. And the author of several books about ADHD, including Getting Schooled, 102 Practical Tips for Parents, Teachers, Counselors, and Students about Living and Learning with ADHD, and How to Train Yarents.
Parents in six and a half days. I'm very curious about that title as well. And she's also the founder of Block to Brilliant, Margaret's coaching practice, where she offers workshops and coaching for parents and kids. So thanks so much for being on the show today, Margaret.
Thanks for having me, Debbie. I'm happy to be here.
So we have a lot of families in the TILT community who are dealing with ADHD, including mine, and we also have a lot to talk about today. So let's just dive in and we'll see how much we can get through today. Sure. I always like to start these conversations by kind of going back to basics. And because uh there's a lot of listeners who might be very familiar with ADHD. There are also a lot of families who are probably at the very beginning of their journey and just discovering what ADHD is and how it might impact their children and family. So I was hoping we could just start by simply defining what ADHD is. So how do you define it? And and maybe you could also Tell us, is there a difference between ADD and ADHD?
Because we kind of hear those terms interchangeably used. Yeah.
So Depending on who you talk. Two. My definition of ADHD is it's a brain difference. So it's been documented that there are That our brains, cause I have ADHD also. That our brains are different. than uh other brains, neurotypical brains. I suppose if you spoke to I mean, there's two camps really. You know, so some of 'em it's a brain difference and it's a gift and it's wonderful. And then there's It's a brain difference and it's a disorder and It's a pain in the butt. So You know, it i if you talk to a scientist you're gonna get a better explanation, but I happen to have a ridiculously positive Pollyanna view of ADHD because having worked with kids with ADHD for so long, both as a teacher and a coach, I really see
What can happen when kids are what's the word? I don't wanna say intervention like a drug intervention, but an intervention in the sense of somebody comes in and helps the family. Somebody who understands ADHD helps the family to see what's possible and how to reach the kid or the teen.
