5 Things To Stop Saying To A Child With ADHD Mar 21, 2025

By August McLaughlin Mar 21, 2025 Saying something like “Stop and think before you act" isn't going to have the effect you expect. “Sit still and pay attention!” I’ll never forget my first grade teacher’s stern words, which played on repeat, no matter how hard I tried to comply. That combination was impossible for what I’d later recognize as my ADHD brain. I spent much of that year in timeout and feeling embarrassed. The next year, Mrs. Sauer (no need to conceal this hero’s name) allowed me to be myself. Seemingly aware of my need to stay active, she let me open a paper grocery store in the back of the classroom and teach my peers how to crochet on pencils. I thrived that year, academically and emotionally. Over 1 in 10 kids in the United States have been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Experts agree that treating kids with ADHD as though they’re neurotypical, which frequently happens, can have lasting negative repercussions. And shifting our language is an important step toward helping them thrive.
