Post 7: ADHD The 15 Second Race 😂
You have 15 seconds to give your child an instruction.
That’s it.
Not a sermon. Not a TED Talk. Not your whole childhood story.
👉 15 seconds.
Because after 15 seconds…
you’ve lost them.
You over there talking like:
“Now I told you earlier when we were in the car that I don’t like when you—”
Meanwhile your child is looking at you like:
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
They wondering:
• why your breath smell like that• what that is on your tooth• why you got gray hair coming in• what they eating at school tomorrow• if they left their toy outside
They are NOT listening.
You are just… talking...........
😭
So here’s how it works:
🔥 Step 1: Say it in 15 seconds
“Go clean your room.”“Pick that up.”“Stop hitting.”
Clear. Direct. Done.
🔥 Step 2: Give them 15 seconds to repeat it back
“What did I just say?”
If they can’t repeat it…
they didn’t process it.....START OVER 15 SECONDS ONLY
🔥 Step 3: Move
No long lecture.
No extra talking.
....... Action.
Because let’s be real…
A lot of times the lecture isn’t for them.
It’s for us.
We just talking to feel better 😭
But their brain doesn’t work like that.
Especially with ADHD.
They need:
✔ short✔ clear✔ direct✔ repeatable
So today’s challenge:
Try the 15 Second Race.
And come back and tell me…
Did it work, or did you catch yourself starting a whole sermon? 😂
