😱 Fears & Nightmares: Helping Your Child Self-Regulate
ADHDKC Parent Group – Tuesday, June 17 | 6:30-7:30 PM CST | Online Only | Free
ADHD people are the proud owners of stimulus-seeking, imaginative brains. These brains are the source many good things. Sometimes, ADHD brains can seem to drag the brain owner into dark places.
Perhaps it’s waking nightmares leading to bedtime challenges or catastrophic predictions related to unwelcome or even imagined outcomes. Sometimes the ADHD brain seems to have a will of its own.
For kids with ADHD, an active imagination isn’t just a creative gift—it can also be a source of intense fear, overwhelming emotions, and late-night panic. When high-anxiety stories take root, they can spiral into sleepless nights, meltdowns, and long-lasting beliefs that follow them into adulthood.
Let’s unpack the mechanics of this system and investigate how to tame the stimulus seeking brain so you or your child can get on with your good life. Join us for “Fears and Nightmares: Helping Your ADHD Child Regulate”, a compelling talk by ADHD and Life Coach Bronwyn Foley.
This session dives into how anxiety-driven thoughts — especially at night — can hijack attention, fuel dysregulation, and create a gap between what's real and what feels real.
🌙 You'll learn:
Why ADHD brains are particularly vulnerable to intense, fear-based thinking
What you can do when your child is stuck in an anxious thought loop
How to help your child build inner regulation skills that carry into adulthood
And why your presence, language, and understanding make all the difference
Don’t forget! Everyone who attends an ADHDKC Event in May and June has a chance to win a FREE 1-year CHADD Membership!
This isn’t just about nightmares. It’s about reframing fear, building emotional resilience, and helping your child (or your inner child!) navigate the vivid landscape of the ADHD mind.
