ADHD isn’t defiance or a “broken” brain—it’s often a sensitive child’s quiet survival strategy.

Gabor Maté: In stressed families, a highly attuned kid absorbs the tension and protects themselves by tuning out—going absent-minded. It’s coping, not defect.

These children tend to be deeply empathetic, warm-hearted, talented in unique ways… yet carry insecurity from the same stress.

What they crave most? Not stricter focus training or behavior fixes—true emotional security. Feeling deeply seen, understood, and safe.
aka: missing piece #2 et al
Shift from “fix the kid” to “make the environment feel safe for them.”

This 48-second clip reframes ADHD with radical compassion—especially powerful for parents, teachers, or anyone who’s ever felt “scattered” themselves.
scattered.. not yet scrambled.. et al
notes/quotes from 48 second clip:
in families where there’s attention deficit disorder.. a – you’ve got a sensitive child.. b – you have stressed parents
parents are the first ness et al
that infant is absorbing the stresses of their family and protecting themselves by going absent minded.. it’s actually a coping mech
or seeming to go absent minded.. et al..
once your realize a kid is like that.. first of all realize they’re very sensitive.. b – they’re probably quite talented in one way or another.. very often they are.. they probably have a very warm heart.. they sense things and they have a lot of empathy.. at the same time they feel insecure because when things are stressed the child feels insecure
so what they need more than anything else is emotional security.. and that means you have to really understand them.. not just try and change their behavior or try and teach them better ways of paying attention.. but really make them feel emotionally safe.
