Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, I'm your host, Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT, Solution Focued Marriage and Family Therapist, who specializes in ADHD, Anxiety and Depression.
Do your mornings with your child look like this?
You're running late, and your 10-year-old is refusing to get dressed, yelling that school is âstupidâ and slamming the door. Your teen rolls their eyes when asked to join a group project, mutters something sarcastic, and retreats into silence. Or maybe your young adult keeps putting off registering for classes and says theyâre just ânot ready yet,â even though deadlines are coming fast.Sound familiar?
It might look like defiance, laziness, or even overconfidence⊠but what if underneath all of that, itâs actually anxiety? Especially in kids, teens, and young adults with ADHD, anxiety can wear a lot of different masksâand often gets misread.

Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, I'm your host, Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT, Solution Focued Marriage and Family Therapist, who specializes in ADHD, OCD and Addiction.

Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I'm your host Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT, Solution-Focused Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, and Addiction. I explore how perfectionism, hyperactivity, inattention, and compulsions manifest in preschool and kindergarten-aged children.
Recognizing the early signs of ADHD and OCD in young children can be difficult, as young kids often lack the words to describe what theyâre experiencing. Yet, early intervention can make all the difference in helping children manage anxiety, improve focus, and build emotional resilience.
Using the DSM-5 criteria, real-life examples, and a Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) approach, this episode provides practical tools for parents and educators to create a supportive, structured environment for children struggling with focus, anxiety, and rigid behaviors.
Tune in to discover:
The difference between perfectionism and OCD-driven compulsions
How ADHD impacts attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in young kids
Real-life examples of what ADHD & OCD look like in a classroom or home setting
Solution-Focused strategies to foster self-regulation and emotional resilienceUsing Solution-Focused Therapy, small shiftsâsuch as deep breathing, sensory grounding, and structured routinesâcan create a safe and structured environment where children can thrive both at home and in the classroom.

Today I'm diving into a topic that so many parents, teachers, and even individuals with ADHD struggle withâwhy do ADHD brains sometimes say whatever comes to mind? Whether itâs blurting out an inappropriate comment, interrupting, or struggling to read social cues, these moments can lead to frustration, embarrassment, or even conflict in relationships."
"But hereâs the thingâthis isnât about bad behavior. Itâs about brain chemistry, impulsivity, and social processing differences. In todayâs episode, Iâll walk you through some reasons why ADHD can affect communication, and more importantly, Iâll share solution-focused strategies to help make conversations smoother, more mindful, and more successful. Whether you're a parent helping your child, a teen struggling with social situations, or an adult wanting to improve communication, this episode is packed with insights you can start using today."
"So, letâs get into itâbecause ADHD doesnât have to mean communication struggles. Itâs all about learning how to work with the brain, not against it."
