Leslie Josel of Order Out of Chaos has some ideas. Read her article,
"Are You Paying Attention," on Order Out of Chaos.

Hearing Your ADHD Child's Truth
ADHD parents: Newsflash! If you have kids with ADHD, your truth is NOT your child's truth, and until you tap into what is true for them, you are living in fantasy land. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host Jeff Copper interviews Penny Williams (
http://parentingadhdandautism.com
) about the concept that every child with ADHD has a truth, that truth is real, and you are not going to change that truth. The more you listen to that truth and work with it, the better off you'll be in the long run. If you are parenting a child or teenager with ADHD, you will not want to miss this show.
ADHD Motivation Tip: Salt the Hay
 ADHD is an issue of self-regulation, and motivation is a key component. That said, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews John Willson (http://soarnc.org) about strategies to stimulate motivation. He will share some unique perspectives, insights, and strategies you can use to salt the hay, if you will, to make the horse thirsty enough to drink.

ADHD, Working Memory, and Dopamine: There is a Connection
 Does an increased level of dopamine help those with ADHD with their working memory and long-term memory?

ADHD: When a Professional Can't Help
 Here is the thing, a mental health professional or ADHD coach cannot help you if you are not engaged or are just going through the motions. Is it a lack of interest, lack of motivation, lack of attention, lack of priorities, lack of effort? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper and Dr. Ari Tuckman (http://adultADHDbook.com) have a frank conversation about helping those with ADHD. They address the very real fact that at a most basic level it all begins with the individual. If you are trying to sponsor somebody with ADHD to get help, or if you've seen lots of professionals but have not made any progress, this is the show you won't want to miss.
ADHD, Allergies, Allergy Medicines, and Medication Interaction
Like the general population, those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can suffer with allergies. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper and Dr. Charles Parker explore the impact of allergies on ADHD, medications to help the allergies, and interactions between allergy medicines and ADHD stimulant medications. If you have allergies and ADHD, this is a show you won't want to miss. You might be surprised at the negative impact allergies can have on the day-to-day lives of those with ADHD.

ADHD: Paying Attention to Attention and Attitude
 According to Dr. Lidia Zylowska (http://lidiazylowska.com) mindfulness practice is very beneficial and includes two parts. The first is focused on attention, and the second is attitude based. It is about opening the mind. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews Dr. Zylowska on the topic and more specifically discerns the difference between attention and attitude and how to mindfully manage both. If you have ADHD, this is a show you won't want to miss.
