The Boy With The Faster Brain

Get ready to meet ADHD Royalty, Peter Shankman!  He is known globally for his entrepreneurial prowess, and work on educating himself and the world about ADHD.  I’ve known of Peter’s work for years and it’s truly an honour to speak with him!He wants both kids and parents to know that a diagnosis of ADHD doesn’t mean you’re broken, but brilliant!  That if you have an ADHD brain, you have been given a gift of a brain that’s equal to a Ferrari, but society and the school system wants these kids to fit into a “Honda Accord” brain!  I love that metaphor, and if you have a kiddo with this diagnosis, you know exactly what he’s talking about!Peter’s message to parents is that neurodiversity brings gifts and we need to have unwavering love, support and advocacy for our kids.  Using this superpower for good means we focus on feeding that brain with exercise, protein, nutrition and calming techniques. For a download of Peter’s article, Ten Ways to be Happier When You Live/Love Someone Diagnosed With ADHD, visit the Parent Toolbox.  www.parent-toolbox.comAbout Peter ShankmanPeter Shankman is a spectacular example of what happens when you find the best traits of ADHD and work really hard to make them benefit you. By the time Peter was diagnosed as ADHD he had started and sold two companies and realized that all the differences that formerly labeled him as a troublemaker were actually his greatest assets. After Peter sold his third company, (Help a Reporter Out,) he decided to focus on really understanding this “faster brain” of his, and learning exactly what it could do. From that, the "Faster Than Normal" podcast and bestselling book of the same name were born. Since then, Peter has written numerous best-selling books and “Faster than Normal” is the Internet's #1 podcast on ADHD. Peter believes that everyone has gifts, potential, and abilities far beyond what society has deemed “normal,” and strives to help bring those gifts to life in as many people as he can.Social Media:Website: www.Shankman.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petershankmanFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PeterShankmanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/petershankman/Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/petershankmanTwitter: https://twitter.com/petershankman Thanks for listening!  For more on Robbin, her work and free resources, keep reading!READY FOR YOUR FAMILY CHECK UP CALL?
