Dr Barkley is the biggest asset for the entire world for ADHD. Besides his knowledge , I Love his practical and assertive tone talking to us parents,

Support of loved ones that identify a child’s strength = long-term success

funny: when he explained how we should use images and text to help with working memory, I remembered that my 7 year old daughter actually did this for herself: she drew 7 little numbered pictures about the sequence of getting into bed: putting on pyjamas, brush your teeth, get your glass of water, get your stuffed animal, lay down, listen to a story, sleep until morning. I just ticked off the list for her. I do suspect she has ADHD, but this is mind-blowing right now. Apparently, she was able to intuitively notice what she has problems with and how to manage this. I'm completely amazed!

I thought I understood what ADHD was, until I watched this lecture. Dr. Barkley, you explained ADHD in a way I never heard before. I grew up with a close friend whom has adhd and I was always critical of his parents for what I viewed as them “micromanaging” his life. But I now have an appreciation and respect for what they were actually doing for him. Thank you for this knowledge.

Thank you, my wife and my son are both “severely” ADHD and HF ASD. I note understand their challenges better. I wanted to share some personal insights that have recently come to light: • Interestingly, we only discovered my wife’s ADHD after our son’s diagnosis. • Conversations with her childhood friends revealed they had long suspected her condition. • Unfortunately, she never received an early diagnosis, possibly overshadowed by being the 8th of 9 siblings. • This late diagnosis has led to emotional turmoil for her, especially as she navigates various career challenges. • She often finds herself reflecting on the potential opportunities she might have missed due to this late realization.

When waiting in line, I don’t tell my kid we’re waiting to get to the counter or whatever. Our task for that moment is to just be in the queue. Not be there to get somewhere but to just be. We’ll look ahead us and count the amount of people in front of us or we look back to see if more people have gotten in line. Waiting is what we do right there and then, and it can take many forms.

I recently found Dr Barkley doing research. I have an adhd son and I am also Adhd. I am 27 now and I was diagnosed at 14 or 15. I went ALL these years without a single doctor explaining to me what adhd is or how to manage it outside of medication. His information was so helpful for me as a mother to an adhd child. However, as an adhd Adult, I was shocked at how I had no idea what I even had. In a different video, he said to always do your own research and now I have been non stop looking for information to better my knowledge for myself and my child. I do not want my son to struggle like I have and still do. I am hoping with the knowledge I have that he is able to learn tricks to help him live without so much struggle. The struggle has caused an increase in anxiety and depression as I have not been managing my adhd as an adult. My focus has been on my son and when I would get help, doctors didn't acknowledge my adhd. Just the Major Despressive disorder and anxiety. Which I was medicated for and made EVERYTHING worse. Anyways, I am thankful for hard work of Barkley spreading awareness and really educating people about what ADHD REALLY IS!

10 min in, and it just occurred to me I'm literally facilitating my own neglect of my household chores by watching this. I'm trying my ass off to 'get around to things' yet fully avoiding them by viewing KZread videos about the condition I suffer from daily...as much as I hate to admit it, my ADHD (Combined Type) controls me. Again, it persists and pervades. No matter how much I hate it.

In a way though, understanding your condition contributes to future success, so you may be avoiding tasks now but hopefully you're setting yourself up with some ideas about how to better structure your system for tomorrow. The bits about externalizing time, having visual reminders of steps to complete, and leveraging the power of a solid routine were interesting to me - really helps reduce the need for executive functioning so you might be able to accomplish more.

As a mum of an ADHD and ODD child with ADHD myself, I can't even begin to explain how relieved I feel to have this knowledge. I also have used ADHD as a superpower and founded a charity whilst raising 2 kids, working full time and also studying full time nursing. It absolutely has benefits. Thank you so much.

I've listened to your 30 Essentials lecture several times. You recap some of that here, and review is always great (and necessary for my old brain). But I especially appreciate the detail with which you speak about the elements of self-control. Thank you so much for everything you've done and continue to do. After being totally misunderstood and suffering for several years, I'm hoping we can still help my seven-year-old find some sort of peace and happiness in his life.

I needed to take notes on this one. Although parts were tough to hear. Having ADHD myself and understanding the difficulties of it as a child and an adult I want to give my children the support I didn't receive. I can see where in certain cases it would be disabling. I use notecards to try to stay on task and lots of timers.

Nothing but the truth! I am so blessed to have people like Dr Barkley around for my child. We didn’t have the resources back in the 80s for myself. Thank you Dr Barkley !

Any resources for adhd parents on how to manage both themselves to be able to support their children?

This is the best help I have heard regarding adhd. This was so me growing up and never knowing the why I struggled so and then to become the parent of one adhd'r. Arrggh I wish I heard this 40 years ago! am now hitting walls I cannot overcome.

I never heard a better lecture and more genuine words about ADHD. Brilliant lecture. Thank you so much for teaching us being better shepherds.

Thank you so much for your tireless work. I’ve been working HARD to learn the TRUTH about ADHD since my middle son was diagnosed. He has manifested most in his antisocial responses to his EF delays. It’s been so life altering. It’s easy to resent and reject. I see that I have learned to do some of the shepherding you mentioned and struggled in others. This is such a great way to remind me of what I am doing right now and work toward the things I need to add in. It’s also equipping me to help others who are living with it somehow so that they know what is true.

I have adhd and I don’t have the same internal monologue as other people reportedly do. I have more of bits and pieces or a sentence here and there and static in between. Sometimes it’s just one line of a song repeating all day over and over,

I would recommend looking up Tamara Rosier as well because as much as Dr. Barkley has contributed to the study of ADHD he can only do so as an outsider and he has that inherent deficit of not having an internalized understanding of what it's like to have ADHD, only to be a neurotypical in a family that has a lot of ADHD. So his understanding of ADHD is through family tragedy, not through the internalized concept of what it is to live and both struggle and thrive with ADHD.

Simply Amazing wow

I think the information is mostly helpful. I did find the focus on a disabled child as off putting. I would focus on the differences in brain processes. The neurodivergent narrative resonates better with me. I also wonder about the endorsement of an addictive carcinogen (alcohol) being promoted as a de-stress strategy for parents. Surely, there are healthier ways to manage feeling overwhelmed.

I love Dr. Barkley but I think his analogy about having a sheep and not being able to turn them into a cat or a dog is a bit off. Our kids are the cats because unlike sheep and dogs you can’t train them do what you want, you need to be trained to meet their needs. ❤️

Cats are easy to train though? Far easier than sheep. I think it's just that people make the assumption that cats can't be trained, so don't try, and don't start at early kittens (as you do with puppies). A kitten that has been well socialised and handled from birth is so easy to train, but so are kittens when you start at 6-8 weeks. But yes, I don't love his metaphor either.

I appreciate the guidelines for helping my Adhd kiddo. But... since Adhd is so strongly genetic.... it might be nice to have a whole video specifically for adhd parents of adhd kids.

I live in a line of ADD and ADHD family, and I work with ADHD & ADD. I agree that the brain gets dis-ordered because I believe it's due to a multigenerational trauma, that has been passed down from one generation to the next - it's not genetics... Let's face it none of them had ever learnt how to emotionally regulate themselves, how to process trauma, even talking about it can be a tabu in some families or cultures ... anything that actually treats the roots of trauma and survival stress, not by been stimulated or sedated by any medicines, plants or chchemicals, just the healthy tools needed for cooping/surviving with trauma has never been a part of their lives. Of course if those are not skills of their arsenal, no such skills can be passed down to the next generation...anything similar to what I have in my life -highly traumatised parents, who had lost one or two of their parents, while they were too young to look after themselves, all of us lived in an oppressive totalitarian regime, our ancestors were butchered left, right and center because they were enslaved, fighting for survival for generations.... All those healthy brains had to adapt to the high stress environments and extremely difficult circumstances they had to survive. That's why they had developed irrational fears, anxiety, brain split of attention as danger can come from everywhere, hyper sensitivity, hyper attention, restlessness or fatigue syndromes... IT IS NOT a Disability, it is an Ability to be hypervigilent, to survive adversity, to sence changes, differences and danger better than neurotypical brains.... It is treatable not with medications I believe, (although that can be a solution at the beginning of the road to healing for many) but by looking into all the complexity of trauma, accepting it, processing it, coming to peace with it, surrounding yourself with safe and well functioning, healthy people. As it is brain adaptation, we need to feel the safety, develop the knowledge of what healthy tools are and good functioning looks like... ( if a parent is disfunctional - the child learns from that parent how to live their life with the same disfunctionality) creating the ability to express ourselves fully, emotions, thoughts, doubts, fears- everything without been judged, compared with others or invalidated in any way... Most of us are well gifted, talented, skillful in areas of interest and passion. Unconditional Love, Full Acceptance, Compassion, Deep Understanding, Forgiveness are all parts of the healing and learning process of any ADD or ADHD person. That's the hard way and no side effects way to true healing and full restoration of a healthy and well functioning brain... It takes time, it takes commitment to it, but it if the most fulfilling thing in the world, watching how my mother, my daughter and I are changing and coming to our authentic selves. We're not disabled, we are conditioned to live with ADD and ADHD brain adaptations. It's Not anyone's fault and not guilting anyone...

Contratry to Russels comment about adhd being good at video games I have to report that I have truble paying enought attention, thinking and organising myself while gaming Dr Barkley! And i game since im small and extreamly exessively. *BUT when i take medication depending on the dosage and type it can heavily improves*. (it can also get worse or stay about the same depending ont he dosage/medicaion type). I have objective game scores to prove it. (Overwatch has a public rating system depending how much you win. Also my Gaming wow Rating heavily improved after i did exessive sport to try to fight my overweight. My tissue ruptured even because of fast muscle groth combined with a slight bodyweight increase because of my bulking diet. I did tonns of Group Sport and tortured myself every time i felt like i was not sore anymore or kinda recovered for months, after that i became somewhat more social in class, my grades/thinking improved like i was on not enought medication and my gaming increased drastically. (I did not take medication eventho i had 2 diagnosis from childhood. After i could not keep the training up like always because it felt too terrible and motivation issues, i got very fat again then kinda normal overweight like before and then major depression diagnosis with medication treatment, and then a 3. ADHD diagnosis from the UPK Basel Switzerland now im trying for the first time to find the right medication/dosage with the help of a peer that felt pity for me, because the state would not relly engage in dosing/medication trial for some reason. Also there adhd information group lead by a non adhd specialist talks big about all the supposed adhd advantagues, meditation and all the behavioral things in the world and mentions medications as a sideissue without giving any practical adive, well luckely i heavily informed myself on the internet by searching for the most cited adhd researchers on google schoolar where i thank god found Dr R Barkley and so on. But still the lack of systems to find the right dosage that you take for you entire life is stunning, im not gona take something that heavily impacts my feelings/brainfunction/everything for my hole life if its not perfectly tiltrated, i dont know why medication management is not taken more seriously maybe because most clinitions love therapy/behavior stuff too much/have no time (probably because little funding because of all the false glorifying of adhd in the press and on the internet (noone listens to Barkley thats only for the freaks that happened to stumble over one of his lectures and where crazy enought into science to listen to the hole thing and not getting bored somehow before realizing his brilliance) Help, no wonder everyone hates adhd medication if they are not tiltrated and dosed right. Most presenters even on ADDtitude Magazine talk about "4 Weeks tiltration" at most and that is only those rare people that are the most insane advocates for medication like Dr Dodson, other people dont even mention Medication tiltration as if you just pop a pill and dose does not matter. This is the biggest problem with adhd treatment nowadaysm the research on dosing and different medications has not gotten throug to the treating clinitionas, and uninformed pharmacology treatens not only the public perseption of adhd and the reasearchers but the funding and even the view of the clinitions. It seems like its a buffet for the psychiatrists, and they can pick and chose the researchs they will believe and there gutinstict like every human on earth is "unnatural" bad "natural" good (eventho that is a mistake in reasoning called the "natural fallacy" because nature is not here to be nice to humans, but anyway... most clinitions chose to listen to people telling them the blue fromt he sky and recommending therapy, behavioral therapy, diets basically anything exept medications. And if they do medications they do low time effort, low trust and stop or give up at the mildes inconvienience like sideeffects or any noncompliance or issue with the patient. They are stressed and dont have enought time because psychiatry has a problem with not many young people going into the profession and the old ones retiering. I can name you multible people that dont relly believe in adhd that much. They would not say it does not exist and they know its not "fashionable to disagree" but they tell you when they feel save and behind closed doors that they hold kinda the believes of the past views on adhd + the usuall natural fallacy and therapy biases. Anyway. We wont advance society and the economy much, if so many people have serious clinical problems with the brains E.F. Functions whatever that might be. And i know from repeated experience, insane performance variablity and worldview altering experiuences, that my brain can do it it just is somehow blocked most of the time. OH and i feel like many mild adhd cases and S.C.T. cases hurt the adhd perception more as they seem very serious and impaired but on closer questioning or in there impairments are very mild forms but with lots of motivation to tell there storrys of how great adhd is, exactly what the stressed overworked, unsure and skeptical psychiatrists want to believe and therefore bias there view further. My ADHD gorup trust canabis oil more than medication, they wont take it, and even if they would be half heartedly want to try it, they would be hardpressed to find any clinition that puts enought or any serious time into tiltrating medications with the scientific rigour you would expect after 100 years of taxpayers investing millions in a would of over 8 billion people, that do lockdowns for covid and foced vaxxinationa and 24/7 coverage but no word of adhd exept of fringe "brainscaning" or "little children that have too much energy and are too happy to do homework". No wonder serious mentaly ill people fill the prisons, and people dont know much more than "be more brutal" "bring back the death penalty" "vote in Donald Trump relly do things in a strong man way". We are in serious truble if we cant critically question things, and do repeated tests and trials of the actuall situation on the ground. And people will always behave better if they know they are part of a research study, so do blind tests, get statistics. Where is the seriousness, that for example diabetes, or hearth surgery gets???? Is it just because adhd people wont advocate for themself because of thinking and motivation issues, eventho they are very numerious % of the population? Yes I think so. Depressed people, and shizophrenics have motivation adhd people are confused and the only mild people motivated enoguht that are not on medication constantly talk about the benefits / advantagues and the 1 selfreported person with "adhd severity and diagnosis unclear" that did make it and became rich. Eventho we know adhd people are % wise far more likely to go into self employment, so with 5-7% of the population having adhd we should see countless unending successstoryies. And endless billionaires. But somehow eventho way more people try there luck somehow very few get lucky, and there diagnosis or severity is murky and unclear at best, but that wont stop all the adhd romanticisers to take it and RUN WITH IT. Because it sells, that is what people in the traidmedia whant to hear, they dont want to be bothered with having to do something about a problem, they want to continue to say "its just jonny" "boys are boys" "people are mysterious" like int he medival times and 100 years ago wher sizophrenics and bipolar people where just locked up in asylums or had "bad spirits" because they thohght selfishyl shorterm "out of sight out of mind" "I care about myself i let others deal with it" and there economies where terrible and poverty ruled. But people would rather die in a wartorn scrapheap and see there family members die than think longterm and civilized that things create chains of causation and always come back to bite you or have a effect in a closed system. Societys are not in a vaccum, someone is gona deal with the jobless depressed person that wants to tear down the system and desperately and angryling searches for something to be angry about. If its flat earth, criminality, taxevasion, low morale, depression or corruption, degradation of democratic institutions. Everything comes back around. Think longterm. Be modern Humans. Think scientifically. You can always find storrys that support a preconceived nothion, and the preconceived notion of most of todays society is not good its not holistic and its riddled with fallacys and egoistic outlooks from harder times in the past.
