Do you have low ADHD traits or high ADHD traits? Do you know the difference? Research seems to indicate that, just because high ADHD traits may be inherited, it does not necessarily mean that environmental interventions are not effective as a treatment. Ongoing research is quite interesting in that identifying positive or protective environments may provide clues for interventions that may prevent individuals from developing ADHD in the first place. Our feature article this month discusses the topic and how a shared environment among family members may influence siblings to have similar traits.

ADHD Wears Bifocals, Too!
 Do you grow out of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? Not!

Linda distinguishes the difference between A-D-H-D and A-G-E. If this has aroused your curiosity, be sure to listen to what promises to be an insightful show.
ADHD and the Value of Daily Attention Exercises
 If athletes, musicians, and students use exercises to practice, to make a habit, to develop skills to perform, why shouldn't those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder engage in exercises to practice self-regulation skills to help them perform and attain a more positive attitude? In this episode attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews one of his favorite guests, Dr. David Nowell (http://drnowell.com), on what they both have learned about attention, the notion of daily attention exercises, and their experiences using attention exercise to help individuals observe attention and build self-regulation skills. This is a great topic, a great guest, and promises to be an insightful show
The Impact of Perfume and Petroleum on ADHD
 What we know about ADHD is that it is an executive functioning issue, which is a challenge of self-regulation. Add puberty and hormonal changes to the mix and the dynamic gets very complex. The ability to concentrate, focus, and self-regulate gets more difficult. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we talk with Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com) about the real difficulties, intricacies, and challenges, as well as the art of parenting a child with ADHD through puberty. If you are about ready to pull out your hair, this is a show you won't want to miss.
ADHD and Minding Your Manners
Research is revealing how ADHD is more of a self-regulation issue and not so much a deficit of attention. If that is true, is the process of learning to mind your manners actually a form of attention exercises designed to help kids develop self-regulation skills? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Ari Tuckman (http://adultADHDbook.com) about the byproduct of holding a chair for a woman to sit, minding your elders, waiting to eat until everyone at the table is seated, and waiting your turn, all as behavioral and attention exercises that help those with ADHD build self-regulation skills. If our show title speaks to you, then your values are aligned and this is a show you won't want to miss.
ADHD and Mental Clutter: Organizing Your Mind
 When it comes to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Attention Talk Radio is all about paying attention to what is and is not being paid attention to. In this episode we pay attention to organization. What is obvious for most is that those with ADHD struggle with organization, and their strategies center around external tools. What few individuals pay attention to is how they process things differently and the impact of mental clutter or mental disorganization on their external organizational systems. With us for the interview is Leslie Josel (http://OrderOOChaos.com), academic life coach. If you struggle with ADHD and getting organized, I can promise you this is an interview you won't want to miss.
