A recent Understood.org blog post by child psychologist, Ellen Braaten, highlights the importance of a parent's own self-awareness of their tempo, pace and parenting style - particularly for parents of teenagers with slow processing speed. The author (who is also the mother of a son with slow processing speed and ADHD) asks many important questions such as:
What is your (the parent's) processing speed like?
Are you a fast thinker/talker/doer?
Is it possible your child's difficulties aren't as bad for him as you think, but she is simply out of sync with your rhythm?
