51. 5 ADHD Myths That Commonly Hurt Children And The Truth That Offers Hope--ADHD Awareness Month Calm Connection Parenting- Meltdowns, Emotional Dysregulation, Neurodivergent, ADHD, AUDHD, DMDD, Defiance, SPD podcast

Bad parenting. Laziness. Can’t focus. Overdiagnosed. Medication is dangerous.

You’ve probably heard at least one of these myths before...maybe even all five. But here’s the truth: every single one is a myth that can weigh families down with guilt, confusion, and shame.

In this episode, Jami bursts the biggest misconceptions about ADHD and replaces them with truth, compassion, and hope, because when you understand the brain behind the behavior, everything changes.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

The truth behind the most common (and hurtful) myths about ADHD
Why ADHD isn’t about bad parenting, laziness, or lack of discipline
How motivation, focus, and executive function really work in the ADHD brain
The difference between awareness and overdiagnosis—and why understanding matters
A faith-filled perspective on making wise, informed choices about medication
