Wax On, Wax Off!

Skill Building for Children with ADHD


In the classic movie "The Karate Kid," the journey of a young boy named Daniel teaches us invaluable lessons about the importance of acquiring life skills. From seemingly mundane tasks to mastering karate techniques, Daniel's journey highlights the power of learning and perseverance. Similarly, children with ADHD can benefit greatly from acquiring skills through consistency and structure, just like Daniel did in the movie.



At the beginning of his training, Daniel struggles to understand why he's asked to perform seemingly irrelevant tasks, such as waxing cars and painting fences. However, he soon realizes that these tasks lay the foundation for fundamental karate movements. Similarly, children with ADHD may initially question the relevance of certain skills or routines, but through guidance and support, they can come to understand their importance.


Like Daniel's daily routines, consistency and structure are crucial for children with ADHD. Parent coaching provides parents with strategies to establish consistent routines and clear expectations, helping children thrive in predictable environments.


Children with ADHD need to be equipped with the tools to foster resilience and a growth mindset. By teaching coping strategies and encouraging perseverance, children are empowered to overcome challenges and develop a positive outlook on learning and life.
